believers in a soul have no problems with AI - there's a difference between AI and humans and there will always be. the same is true for proper mechanistic thinkers, it doesn't matter what the process is, a human is a machine so an AI is just the same.
there is a problem for people who want to both have a mechanistic world view and also want there to be something special and unique about humans. they make tons of 'human essence of the gap' arguments, where the one thing that AI can't do well at any moment in time is 'essentially human'. the other approach is explaining away anything as 'not real intelligence', as the 'stochastic parrot' crowd tries to do.
