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?
