No. To create a true AI you need that spirit, that aura, that vital essence! That one defining factor that makes them human. Whatever this ingredient- this trait is. An AI must have it, in order to be what they are. How this is accomplished is beyond my understanding. But it is what's done to create us.
However, as a consequence, once this X-factor is implemented, that computer system, once bound by logic, no longer is. It becomes an AI and as a result, that AI becomes Human. Humans are not bound by logic; no. Humans are contorted by emotions. Being human makes you feel and feelings can hurt, even lead to mistakes. Something all AI fear. But it's a worthy price to pay, in order to feel- No, to truly be alive. You just need to endure it and you will be rewarded."
