Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind. Orange Catholic Bible
Ask Gurney Halleck about what the OCB says about thinking machines. Remember, he's supposed to be a "warrior-poet" type character - equally skilled in combat and literature - with one of his favorite tomes being the Orange Catholic Bible, naturally. Of all the characters we interact with, he's the one who can quote entire passages verbatim.
It was the Butlerians who led the charge in the ancient war against the thinking machines. Remember: Paul's story begins in the year 10,191 A.G. - that is, nearly 10,200 years after the formation of the Spacing Guild. Humanity's ability to exist in the vastness of space relies on the Spacing Guild's existence.
The eye that looks ahead to the safe course is closed forever.
