He is also not cheering its “coming” but worried about the misuse of its power. You can say the same thing about other powerful inventions and their inventors.

Hinton's views on human consciousness would seem remarkably "unhuman" coming from your PoV and if I understand you correctly. I think his point is based more on self-preservation rather than idolatry. My observations about him are that he does like AI and welcomes AGI. He does not think we humans as species are anything special.

true! there is a macabre vein of history in tech where "the inventor is killed by their creation" .. the list is longer than you might think at first
