I find it odd that Mr. Lanier derides AI as a sort of religious belief, yet he is attached to the idea that consciousness is mystical and impenetrable. Surely the one invoking mystical and magical thinking is closer to a religious mindset?
Although frankly the whole comparison to religion is way overused and I don’t think it applies to the views of either of them.
