Do you think any machine will ever be able to think and/or reason? Or is that a uniquely human thing? and do you have a rational standard to judge when something is reasoning or thinking, or just vibes?

I'm asking because I wonder how much of that common attitude is just a sort of species-chauvinism. You are feeling anxious because machines getting smarter, you are feeling anger because "they" are taking your job away, but the machine doesn't do that, its people with an ideology that do that, you should be angry at that instead.
