Like evolution before it, AI may force a rethink of what makes humans special. Excerpt: "Computer scientists have known since the 1950s that computer programs can, in principle, emulate any aspect of human thought. This is because the digital calculations inside a computer can emulate the inputs and outputs of the neurons in a human brain. Given this, “the problem is mainly one of programming,” as Alan Turing said in 1950. Assuming that hypothesis holds, how should one feel
