>it has nothing without an input.
Show me a human with no input. Show me anything alive without a constant stream of 'input'. Without input, human or robot, there is no output.
Ok sure, we have sensory inputs. What can your AI sense?
Try throwing your young AI in with a pack of dogs. Would it survive? It would do nothing. Once again, you can try to make your clanker look human but its not. A pack of dogs can't teach your AI to be like a dog, your AI cant observe dogs on its own and start behaving like them. The concept of a soul in AI is hogwash.
Can you examine my brain and find the soul? Can you find my personality in there? Why not?
