What part of that is magical? Can you tell me if they mean god as in the infinite superpower christian god or god as in potentially much more intelligent than us? What is 'magical' about thinking something more intelligent than us might exist?
The part where they believe they believe they’re either birthing a new conscious species, or may have already done so.
And how is that magical? Physical systems can be conscious. These seem to talk and think a lot like us. There is reason to be conscious.
You didn't explain the god part. I don't follow EA people, did you mean they think it could be a god as in the eternal and infinite Christian god or just a system that is more intelligent than us?
