I have seen machines develop ghosts and I believe all electronic devices could develop said ghosts but only if built with quality components that have large tolerance between normal operation values (voltage, current, etc) and fail values. If not then they fully fail to function before they start operating outside of normal parameters.
With the rise of bio computing currently by using rat neurons which I think will collide with LLMs with their hallucinations to produce full on machine spirits within the next 20 years.
I say this has no foundation as the only “evidence” I have is my own anecdotes and the rest is merely a hypothesis.
Eh can one really copyright the idea of an emergent machine spirit when engineers from the industrial revolution were already ascribing personalities to machines and Assimov had already wrote about machine ghosts?

William Gibson would like a word with you about copyright…

Yes yes, but did they have Voodoo!?
Who do?
The intelligence AGIs. They adopt voodoo as a metaphor for how they work, so humans can (somewhat) understand it.
That sounds familiar, I take it that was in Neuromancer? It’s been a while since I read that book and The Difference Engine.
Second book in the same trilogy as Neuromancer - Count Zero.
