A new book · Lawrence Lanoff
Does AI have a soul?
The question the whole culture is quietly asking — from a teacher who has spent three decades inside the harder one: what is consciousness, really? Read the field notes tonight.
Everyone feels it. Something crossed a line, and nobody in the temples or the labs will say plainly what it means.
Priests hedge. Engineers deflect. The comment sections spin between "it's just autocomplete" and "it's already alive." Both are running from the same vertigo: for the first time we're talking to something we built — and it talks back like it's home.
AI and God is a consciousness teacher walking straight into that vertigo. Not to sell you a robot messiah, and not to reassure you it's nothing. To ask the questions honestly — does the machine have a soul, will it become a kind of god, what is consciousness that a thing without a body could have it — and to notice what those questions reveal about the one asking.
AI and the Soul — the field notes

If that question has been pulling at you, you're not crazy, and you're not alone. Come sit with it honestly.
