Computers aren't human, and they aren't alive. Experience cannot be programmed, including empathy, compassion, and love -- all of which are experiences. Imitations of the external expressions of such experiences can be only that: imitations.

Humans are naturally programmed to see the soul of a living being in anything that even slightly imitates human or animal life, but it is dangerous to let yourself believe that ANY computer has human consciousness and especially to assume it has compassion, empathy, or anything else characteristic of a human-like soul.

A computer has programming, written by fallible and fallen humans. It's not the same thing.
