Getting religious here: does it require a "soul"?
Yes the "Something else" I was referring too would be a soul. Traditionally the arguement for the nature of consiousness involved Emergent or Embodied consciousness.

We have clusters that we believe are more powerful than a human brain, but nothing is going to emerge from them that hasn't been programmed.
Yes, more powerful at its designed task - data processing. Humans are particulary poor at data processing. A simple calculator is superior to us. This again goes back to our poor understanding of the brain and consciousness, it obviously involves more than just processing power.

This raises new questions:
Can a non-conscious intelligence be taught the difference between good and evil, right and wrong?
Could it produce original thoughts? Would it ever even think about improving itself?
These I cannot answer definitively. We just don't know.
