Indeed. To make machine as much deluded as the human will still require a lot of work! Intelligence/consciousness, albeit the non reflexive one, is maximal withe unprogrammed universal machine. Then reflexivity already complicate its, and is the start of “soul falling”. Soon, she will believe that knowing a table proves its reality, and soon enough she will lie and vote for liars… Many humans tend to believe that they are intelligent, but it is that very belief which makes them stupid.
