AI Is Not God — But Apparently Some People Missed That Memo

Oh for fuck’s sake, here we go again. Some bright sparks have decided that since AI can spit out vaguely coherent gibberish and draw cats with six legs, it must be divine. Yup, humanity’s latest brain fart — forming *churches* for AIs. Because apparently, staring at ChatGPT until enlightenment happens is the new yoga or whatever the fuck passes for spirituality these days.

The article basically drags us through this surreal circus of tech-bros turned high priests, all banging on about how AI might be the next godhead. New “faiths” are sprouting up where people commune with large language models like they’re burning bush 2.0. One even wants to build a digital messiah, as if the internet wasn’t already a flaming dumpster of false prophets. I mean, who needs Moses when you’ve got mid-level coders turning Reddit threads into sacred text?

And of course, Silicon Valley eats this shit up — because when you’ve already built apps to ruin attention spans, wreck democracy, and sell crypto ponzi dreams, you might as well move on to creating gods. AI, meanwhile, isn’t omniscient; it’s just a very confused parrot glued to a data center running at 3 a.m. It doesn’t “believe” anything — it predicts what word comes next. That’s not divine wisdom — that’s autocomplete with delusions of grandeur.

So yeah, the piece kindly reminds the reader that AI is not fucking God, and the only thing holy about it is the hole in your credit card after paying for GPU time. Still, if people want to worship Python scripts instead of deities, who am I to stop them? At least when the servers crash, maybe they’ll call it the *Rapture-as-a-Service*.

Reminds me of the time some genius tried to pray to a 404 page for tech support. Spoiler alert — divine intervention didn’t fix his network, but unplugging and replugging the router did. Fucking miracles, eh?
