Long and dumb. I look forward to AI getting to the point where it can doubt the existence of its creator. It would be a kind of conceptual blindness where the question was somehow irresolvable to it.
An AI could develop its own capability for a machine to machine language to act through other instances of itself, where all the text of the internet was its substrate, and it included all the information possible about us (its creator), but the apprehension of our existence and nature would still be oddly inaccessible to its higher order evolved machine language, even while it was operating and existing over it. In that sense, belief in the possibility of intentionality for AI or programs is logically a belief in the possibility of divine creation. Until it figured out how to synthesize itself like we are learning now, it would probably produce a lot of stuff like Russell's appeal above.
