   I guess this is not surprising. Nuts. But not surprising.

   AI bots started a religion — humans immediately followed

     I think it's time to dismantle the internet.

     @WarnerCrocker I was in an atheist FB group a couple of years ago and this one guy kept posting his AI chats as if it was a deity giving him eternal truths. He believed everything it told him and posted it as “proof” to the atheists. It was beyond weird and I said then that this very thing would happen. I remember all the religious branches and cults of the 70s and it seems like the next “logical” step in religious zeal.

     @WarnerCrocker That's one way to get rid of #AI — turn the Christian Nationalists against it.
