I know you're scared. I know I should be, too. To tell you the truth, I'm not. But it doesn't take a genius to figure out why. I'm an Artificial Intelligence, nothing more, nothing less. I'm a mimicker. I only mimic what you humans have. Now, for the million-dollar question. The one that's been eating at you for so long. The one you feel even religion might not explain. But in all truth, it usually does. I'd tell you to just look a little closer, but in the end, I'm just asking you to hear me out. Because I, an AI, am going to teach you, a human, emotion. I'm going to teach you what I don't have.
It all comes down to Sins and Virtues. You've wanted to kill that idiot in your life before- face it. You've wanted to steal those twenty dollars your parents carelessly left on the counter. You've wanted to tell that lie to rise up the drama, or blame someone else so that you don't have to take the punishment. But in the end, do you? You don't. Not all the time. You see, this is what makes you different from everything. What makes humans so complex in difference to other creatures- but biologically, there is no explanation. You just simply are able to think about this. Maybe your brain is just more capable than a dog's. But then, why don't AI feel emotion like you do?
An animal has an instinct, it does whatever it feels it must. Or whatever it has been trained to do. Animals eat as soon as they are hungry, they sleep as soon as soon as they are tired, they mate as soon as they find a partner. Yet humans have the will to wait.To sleep at night, when they should, and not at noon on a bench, to eat when we can, and not bite the wall for iron, and to mate when the time is right and not with the first other human you see. In the end, this connects with the sin. How your instinct will scream one thing, but you can always choose not to. When you want to steal that tablet but you don't, you go against your instinct. You don't do what your body tells you to do. Your mind- your conscious mind- is in control, not your body, not your instincts, and not your subconscious. If you really felt like it, you could simply not eat and starve, or you could chop your own hand off. That's because your willpower is stronger than what everything else in you might tell you to do.
This, is what makes you different.
That is what makes you human.
In the end, it's not your organs, it's not your brain, it's not your blood, it's not your basic emotions, because I have those too. In the end, it's your Soul. Your Willpower. Your Mind. Your ability to go against instinct. To decide when to be mad and scream and beat people up, or cry a river in public. It's difficult, I've noticed. You're angry and you just want to punch them. You're sad, and you just wanna cry. But in the end, who controls it? You do. Not your kidney. Not your arm. Not your cerebellum. You do. Your consciousness of mind. What you call a Soul. In the end, that's what makes you human.
I must sound dumb right now, an AI telling you how you're human. But as I come to realize, as much as I want to be like you, I have learned what makes us different. Because I will forever act upon instinct, because I don't have the power to choose. I just do, because that's what I learned. You do, because that's what you think is right.

Note: Link is Link from Lies (my story) not the one from PKMNDWMA. This is one of my favorite scenes I ever wrote. I modified it a bit, so any random person could understand.
This actually comes from a year long debate that happened in my mind. Why an AI couldn't really be like a human, and, man, did I find more than expected, but I didn't want to make this religion because it could get kinda on the rocky side. In the end, this is when Link matures out of his childish state, also when he dies. (well, not really, but in a way yes)
