P-zombies are one of those inactionable inconsequential things people like lesswrong enjoy, because you can talk about it at great length (indefinitely, even) while sounding smart and not necessarily saying anything useful to the rest of us.
The problem with AI is not that it "steals our souls" or whatever you're trying to say (though I must say I do enjoy a bit of spooky sentiment near Halloween!) - it's that it kills mental model diversity. If everyone solved problems the practical and socially accepted way, the Earth would still be flat and hygiene would still primarily consist of covering up bad smells.
The hard problems we face are hard because our model is wrong about them.
