I would say the most interesting thoughts I have read on this are from Blaise Aguera y Arcas from Google last summer.

He believes we basically anthropomorphize each other. He made a great point how every child basically anthropomorphizes a doll. Anthropomorphizing is just second nature to us.

I would highly recommend reading his two longish medium essays on the subject.

The part about AI and Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds is just utter bullshit. Come on. I am sure you don't really believe that.
