    That’s a weird coincidence - I literally read that exact passage to my kids a few days ago!

    The listener replies by saying it should have said ‘Thou shalt not make a machine to counterfeit a human mind’ which I think is doubly relevant these days.

      I don’t think so. I think that decades of science fiction writers who needed villains for their stories has warped generations about how we should interact with technology. Kind of like how old school movies would only cast villains as foreigners or dress them in black. This is a manipulation that is subtle but still a manipulation.
