I know a lot of people don't fall in that camp, but I heard enough "serious" people make such desperate claims to avoid thinking about the topic in a way that might challenge their underlying religious beliefs[1]. I think no one likes to admit that religion and spirituality often force someone to reject the possibility that AI is actually really much simpler than they think it "should" be, because then humans aren't special after all.
