I agree that, currently, machine learning systems are not there. However, do you believe that human minds are not reducible to a material process in a material entity, but somehow supernatural? Otherwise, aren’t humans an example of machines with such a capacity to have “a ghost”?

I am not suggesting anything supernatural, but the opposite.

It may be possible, but I don't think it will happen in silicon based machines.

Sure, people exist that are motivated by believed entities other than themselves.
