All you did was show that your argumentative skills were better.
His intial belief mentioned souls, and i dont think you ever did.
I’d like to see some sort of testability for souls :)
As to your reply of possibly proving his religion false, if he was better at arguing, he may have replied that at the least it might prove his understanding of religion false.
And of course its not as if you have created an AI.
Your points are irrelevant. The man asserted that his religious beliefs meant Artificial Intelligence was impossible, and that’s what the author of this post was debating about. No souls need to be tested, because the existence of souls was not contested. Nor did Eliezer say he had created an AI.
I’m also surprised no one pointed out that Mark D’s “reversal” scenario is totally wrong: if Eliezer was unable to create an AI, that does not at all imply that the man’s own assertions were true. It might, at best, be very weak evidence; there could be many reasons, other than a lack of a soul, that Eliezer might fail.
