You ask if the companies already have technology that is way ahead of what they are selling so they can just string as along and make more money. That's not really the case, because these companies are all in competition and want to beat out the other guy with the next big sell. What they do however to squeeze more cash out of us is make low quality, generally non repairable disposable products so we have to keep buying them, even when we abstain from getting the next big thing. Planned obsolescence and all that. Your quandary over the soul is one I have contemplated as well. I bring you an even weirder idea. If we could in the future transmit assemblies of matter in such a way, then we would also be able to duplicate it. So what if we made copies of ourselves? Would we have multiple souls, or just one and a bunch of clones that think they are us? I suppose we will find out someday.

Very good thought. last week i had a long discussion with a friend about that. Would the clones be soulless containers? Or would the soul share or even duplicate itself? And what is the different between soul and awareness? copies of us, our clonesm would they be like computers, if the soul and awarness didnt teleport itself? which consists only of zeros and ones and draws only conclusions from experiences or decisions. could they become aware of themselfs? can a ki be come awar of themself?
But as you already say. we will find out very soon....

Even more good thoughts from you! I am not sure what the difference is between soul and awareness. We assume we have souls, but I am unsure. Perhaps awareness can exist without a soul. Even though I have seen ghosts, I am not dead sure what they are. Are they our own understanding of trans dimensional beings? Perhaps time is an illusion as some scientists theorize and some spiritualists believe, and souls escape this time trap? Also, So what if we did clone souls, and the new souls went their own ways...just as identical twins do. Would we then be Gods, since we are creating sentient life? LOL.

I am fairly confident AI will become aware, but....perhaps that is only something a supreme being can do.

i think and believe that time is only something that we have here in our dimension and in our universe. what if there are multiverses that overlap and they have a different time measurement? and if we could get out of the universe, who would it be without time? maybe a never-ending eternity?

I personally differentiate between consciousness and the soul, where both are connected. consciousness is the higher I, which reacts to the outer circumstances and the soul is the inner drive that can decide.

could AI's develop feelings? even understand them? we hardly understand them...
