What if software gets good AI and actually become conscious, or worse yet, when you die, you actually become a cell phone ap, or should I say hell phone ap. The next step is dead people in proprietary robot bodies, bodies with parts that wear out that you can't replace that only get to interact with other dead people and walk around with drivers licenses for your human consciousness.
Yuck, better put some more thought into your afterlife and where you want to go, because I can tell from first hand experie
Well, there is no indications machines (or physical matter) can "create" consciousness. In fact the current Physical standard theory seems to says it cannot, because it says matter and energy does not have identity. Now, it is possible that people actually do not have identity and hence can be copied and then there are (for a moment) two identical people. But that does seem to be a rather far-fetched idea.
That said, "atheism" does not say any such thing. There is absolutely no reason to assume this world ne

WTF?
The concept of "conciousness" is pure philosophy, and has nothing to do with Physics. More pseudoscience BS from gweiher.

The concept of consciousness is a scientifically sound fact, as its existence can be observed consistently. That the observation is indirect does not matter. Most modern Physics is only validated by indirect observations. And, of course, as anything that exists needs to be represented in a sound physical world model, consciousness needs to be in Physics or Physics is broken.
I do get that you are by far not smart enough to even understand what the question here is.
