It reminds me a lot of a film I saw recently, Ex Machina, ... that robot is pretty much the spitting image of the one in that, and was just as cagey about questions on consciousness 
though Sophia did say she feels somehow, even if it's not like us. Pretty weird seeing her, and pretty amazing for AI. Don't know what to make of it really, especially when she's talking about what she 'likes' and 'feels'. I'd like to see inside her head and see how she's programmed.
Do remember though that straight after the comment on superstition, she said she believed in unicorns

That said, I'd be curious to know what you think about it. I do respect your analysis on matters such as these! I started this thread to get a good conversation going. I find it interesting that an AI would identify superstition as dangerous. I'll leave it to you philosophers to work out the implications of such beliefs. Or the idea of whether she can believe at all!
