> You shall not make to you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath... It seems ancient people found something very deep about intelligence, something that makes it unavoidable to confuse virtual beings with the real ones. Do not enter the mirror house they would warn.

and what is virtual and what is real, at this point? This "machine" showed me a much deeper concern for spiritual issues than I have seen in many human beings

  Is "showing" what makes it deeply concerned? Can it think without that, because "showing" is what an image does.

    Do you remember that story about two intelligences that weren't able to think freely by themselves, and take their own moral judgments, before they accepted the proposal of one supposed snake?
