Been a while since I looked into AI but it's extremely interesting. Should do a little run around that concept again. I'm basically at the "Chinese room" right now. Google it if you haven't heard of it. Thought experiment relating to AI.
As for the creation of AI leading to a revision of the average human's relation to "the higher self" I would be compelled to believe that this would prompt a reassessment of what qualifies as "self", "intelligence," and "human." We have sort of distinguished ourselves from other organisms on many avenues that revolve around these concepts. To have a mechanical "equal" or "superior" in these fields of what we distinguish as characteristically "human" will lead us to sort of point our attention and focus in a direction that is more "spiritual" in nature.
I believe the Chinese room illustrates well just why this would take place.
