Do you think it's possible to create a human being out of a machine?  By which I mean, in your opinion, is it possible to create a machine with enough human characteristics that it is not distinguishable from an actual human?

Creativity and emotion are two things that distinguish us from AI beings. The ability to not only synthesize what we observe around us to create a new form of music, art, business, technology, or whatever, but to also infuse it with human emotion, with soul, with spirit. Things that go beyond the mere analysis of data, things that create uniquely new things. Of course, you can program a machine to converse logically with you based on the data it has at hand, but by its nature of being a code-driven creation, it will never have an original idea of its own. In fact, even humans don't reach this point much, if at all. They are just copy cats, creating faint copies of the complex biological systems that are already here.

Look at a lot of popular music today as an example. Most of it is developed on a computer using ProTools software, requires little in the way of hands-on musicianship, follows a basic formula, and is as uniform and boring as watching grass grow, IMO. It sounds soulless and robotic. That's a small preview to what an AI driven world is going to give you in all arenas of life.
