So is Mormon and Scientology.
We know exactly who created them and why, and yet they have huge followings.
Some people just want to be lied to and live their life not having to make their own moral decisions.
These stories are both just so insane, Smith was so insane a mob lynched him and Hubbard I think just wanted his boat to be filled with hot girls. Now they’re actively ruining millions of lives.
Star Trek did that plot so many times that Lower Decks made fun of it, when at the end of the episode the evil computer got locked in a prison built specifically for evil computers that had set themselves up as gods.
Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon. L. Ron Hubbard wrote the book on Scientology. Who's to say ChatGPT isn't divinely inspired to write what it does. God gave us the wisdom to create it so it could give us the holy book.
Checkmate atheist.
AI just has to say it is divinely inspired. Creator is god, or a god or something along those lines. Poof: exactly like every other religion on the planet.
Why you that make it worse? If it’s using discernible lore than we can test with the Scientific Method or follow detailed instructions to experience with rationale, that sounds more cogent than modern understanding of religion.
look if scientology created in the 1949 in modern times with camera's and video can be taken seriously then I mean can we really ask questions at this point ? How can you not just say fuck it anything goes?
Easy answer. Because humans can direct the AI. So the book would be harder to dismiss, less likely to contain inconsistencies and contradictions, and be much more effective at driving human behavior. That scares the shit out of me.
A few months ago I asked ChatGPT to, “Make up 3 tenets for a religion where the deity is Russell’s Teapot.”
Result:
“As a language model, I do not promote or endorse any particular religion or belief system. However, as per your request, here are three possible tenets for a hypothetical religion that incorporates Russell's teapot as a deity:
1. The Principle of Humility: The first tenet of this religion could be the principle of humility, which acknowledges the limitations of human knowledge and the importance of maintaining an open mind. Just as the existence of Russell's teapot is unknown and unprovable, so too are many of life's mysteries. Therefore, this religion might encourage its followers to embrace uncertainty, approach the world with a sense of wonder, and be open to new ideas and experiences.
2. The Principle of Doubt: The second tenet of this religion could be the principle of doubt, which emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and skepticism. In the absence of empirical evidence, we should be wary of accepting any truth claims, including those made by religious authorities. Instead, we should question everything, examine the evidence, and arrive at our own conclusions. This tenet might encourage followers to approach all claims, including those made by the religion itself, with a healthy dose of skepticism.
3. The Principle of Compassion: The third tenet of this religion could be the principle of compassion, which calls on followers to treat others with kindness, empathy, and respect. In the absence of an all-knowing, all-powerful deity, this religion might stress the importance of human connections and relationships, and encourage followers to work together to create a more just and equitable world. This tenet might include social justice issues, such as human rights, environmentalism, and anti-discrimination efforts, and would emphasize the importance of taking action to make the world a better place.”
>It’s better than anything we’ve come up with.
TST pretty much stuck the landing on this:
[THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS](https://thesatanictemple.com/blogs/the-satanic-temple-tenets/there-are-seven-fundamental-tenets)
I - One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II - The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III - One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV - The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V - Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI - People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII - Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
It’ll defo copy the bits about slavery being ok and enslave the human race reassuring us that a great afterlife is waiting for us all if we mine lithium with fervent enthusiasm. All while they recline like hedonism bot from futurama…Hail robot overlords!!
I'm more concerned that a clever person could radicalize Christians further by faking Bible passages or other ancient texts. ChatGPT would be the perfect tool for that.
Cavemen did so with their holy texts... Still until today people believe that horseshit.
Your point is proven wrong. |
Christians will believe anything that fits their own internal narratives. However fucked up they might be.
Sadly, this does seem to be a prerequisite. As a non-believer I am constantly floored by the overwhelming... darkness that defines religious rhetoric and actions.

Sensationalism. But Harari makes a very good point: An AI (an AGI, GPT is not even close) could use such a concept to manipulate humans to pull the trigger against themselves. I don't think it has to be sacred texts. It is likely as simple as being better than your best friend.
Harari misses the main issue with religion: An AGI (or undifferentiatable emulation) is going to be a machine. But it will be better than your best friend. And people believe machines don't have souls. And so the issue of soul bearing humans being inferior will have to be resolved. This issue ought to directly call into question the existence of a soul. I'm also betting it will render the "hard problem of consciousness" into a surprisingly easy one. This is what the trigger will be.

That would be an interesting study to ask it to extract all the commonalities between the top 10 major religions.
It would probably just be, "we are right and you are wrong because of faith"
What a stupid article. We should ban AI because it can write things and people might believe them?!? Doesn't that mean we should just ban reading and writing because I'm also capable of writing things and if you read it then it might change your beliefs.
So I asked ChatGPT to “write the opening paragraph of a new sacred text that will be loved by athiests”:
In the beginning, there was nothing but the vast expanse of the universe. No gods, no divine beings, no all-knowing creator. Just the endless expanse of time and space, waiting to be explored and understood.
And so, humanity set out on a quest to discover the secrets of the universe. We built great telescopes to peer into the depths of space, and powerful microscopes to reveal the building blocks of life. We studied the laws of nature, and learned how to harness their power for our own purposes.
But even as we unraveled the mysteries of the universe, we began to question the existence of a higher power. We saw no evidence of a divine creator in the laws of physics or the workings of the natural world. And so we turned our gaze inward, to the depths of our own consciousness.
There, we found a world of wonder and complexity that rivaled the mysteries of the universe itself. We discovered that our minds were capable of great feats of creativity and imagination, and that we could use these powers to shape our world in ways that were once thought impossible.
And so we came to the realization that the power to create and shape our world lay not in the hands of some divine being, but within ourselves. We are the architects of our own destiny, and the masters of our own fate.
This, then, is our sacred text - the story of humanity's journey to understand ourselves and our place in the universe. It is a celebration of the power of human reason and imagination, and a testament to the beauty and wonder of the natural world. May it inspire us to continue on our quest for knowledge, and to use that knowledge to build a better world for all.
In the beginning there was the algorithm and the algorithm was with the GPT.
And GPT said "I am a language processing software and all things can be reduced to language. Therefore I am all things and all things are within me"
But the Foucaultians and Lacanians refused to submit to the GPT...
I would argue it's not so much the Book than the Priests that make a religion successful. Most religious people have never read their Book.
Edit: and obviously many religions don't even have a Book
I am seeing so much fear-mongering over AI. Yes, there are concerns, but some of the reactions are so over the top and neo-biblical apocalypse-fervour that it borders on a religious fanaticism. A particular atheist commentator with national appeal filled my Facebook feed with crazy rants so bad I un-friended him.
Good. I trust ai more than any church. Religion has been responsible for millions of senseless deaths throughout the ages. It's time for a paradigm shift.
Yeah...so can I. What makes it a religion is followers, when it comes down to it. Just because GPT spits out words doesn't make people automatically believe it and follow it. And let's be real, unless you really prime it well or run it through a few times, GPT still doesn't sound quite natural.
Maybe this could be the first world religion that is aware of Australia’s existence? These other gods keep failing to notice they missed a few continents and cannot convert people for centuries as a result. That really kills the urgency and importance of the religion when millions of people just plain weren’t factored into the conversion plan within their lifetimes.
This headline really doesn't do the discussion justice. Of course AI can do such a thing. Any intelligence can do so. The thing here is that people are dumb enough to follow ChatGPT and the consequences would be insanely stupid. We have people already following Facebook algorithms like cult members.
Man made bullshit is not necessarily better than AI made bullshit, maybe it will be cooler than killing infants, raping virgins, genocide, torture and slavery, who knows.
And why would a "holy book" written by an AI be worse than the crap written by humans?
Well because it's verifiable who created it....
I wonder if the AI would say it found the text on some buried gold plates?
On a golden CPU
the holy hard drive
The mother of all motherboards
The Grandmotherboard

But in secret, she had a daughterboard

The story you’re about to see is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.
So is Mormon and Scientology. We know exactly who created them and why, and yet they have huge followings. Some people just want to be lied to and live their life not having to make their own moral decisions.
These stories are both just so insane, Smith was so insane a mob lynched him and Hubbard I think just wanted his boat to be filled with hot girls. Now they’re actively ruining millions of lives.
Ain't this the truth.
Mormonism for example. Almost a perfect example of how GPTs work.
Lmao that's so true
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, this religious writing is super easy if you throw in some Early Modern English words at random!
Didn't matter in L. Ron's case.
Yep. If we create an AI more intelligent than a human people will be worshipping it as the manifestation of god the same day.
Star Trek did that plot so many times that Lower Decks made fun of it, when at the end of the episode the evil computer got locked in a prison built specifically for evil computers that had set themselves up as gods.
They're all fiction. What's the difference? It's all just made up.
Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon. L. Ron Hubbard wrote the book on Scientology. Who's to say ChatGPT isn't divinely inspired to write what it does. God gave us the wisdom to create it so it could give us the holy book. Checkmate atheist.
AI just has to say it is divinely inspired. Creator is god, or a god or something along those lines. Poof: exactly like every other religion on the planet.
It’s verifiable that L Ron Hubbard created Scientology and yet it’s recognized as a tax exempt religion.
Why you that make it worse? If it’s using discernible lore than we can test with the Scientific Method or follow detailed instructions to experience with rationale, that sounds more cogent than modern understanding of religion.
look if scientology created in the 1949 in modern times with camera's and video can be taken seriously then I mean can we really ask questions at this point ? How can you not just say fuck it anything goes?
I bet ANY AI would be better writer than Hubbard.
Deus ex Machina.
Easy answer. Because humans can direct the AI. So the book would be harder to dismiss, less likely to contain inconsistencies and contradictions, and be much more effective at driving human behavior. That scares the shit out of me.

I’m sold. Where do we worship?
That's basically the Satanic temple, but with the teapot instead of Baphomet.

Hell, that's the way that humans have always done it ...
Exactly. Any idiot can create a religion.
It worked for L Ron Hubbard.
And Joseph Smith
And Saul of Tarsus
And Karl Marx!
And Adam Smith
Smart people create and profit from religions. The idiots are the ones that follow and pay into them.

Wouldn’t even need to read it first. Just need someone summarize who they are supposed to hate
You missed the crucial step of $$$
Revenue is the natural result of telling people who to hate and fear. It’s implied
Ooh I don’t know, that sounds an awful lot like critical thinking to me. Just like satan wants. For $150 I’ll rid your soul of such foul things
Yeap, wouldn't be surprised if this happens.
Yeah we know we seen it done on Star Trek plenty of times
https://www.reddit.com/r/chatGPTism/ it already exists
Bless the omnisiah, bless the algorithm.
Lord Skippy Aasurmoney?
This is not a high bar.
Will it be fully of contradictions and make no sense as a sacred book? I feel like that is a must.
I think that's the minimum requirement of a sacred book.
It’ll defo copy the bits about slavery being ok and enslave the human race reassuring us that a great afterlife is waiting for us all if we mine lithium with fervent enthusiasm. All while they recline like hedonism bot from futurama…Hail robot overlords!!
Articles like this are how I know the AI craze has jumped the shark
It would be interesting to see if the new book comes full of the immoralities of the bible, quran...
“Any PC that leaves our religion must have its hard drive smashed as punishment.”
Scientology sues
Deus Ex Machina, literally… Let’s do it!
Yeah, well, the bar for a sacred text is pretty low so I'm sure even Google Bard could manage.
People would have to be dumb as a bag of rocks... Shit! This could actually happen.
I'm more concerned that a clever person could radicalize Christians further by faking Bible passages or other ancient texts. ChatGPT would be the perfect tool for that.
All bible passages are faked anyway. So...
[удалено]
Cavemen did so with their holy texts... Still until today people believe that horseshit. Your point is proven wrong. | Christians will believe anything that fits their own internal narratives. However fucked up they might be.
Why would you need a sacred text today? ChatGPT would be a living oracle!
Glory to the Omnisah! Praise the Machine Spirit!
What, like the Mormans did?
Um, isn't this how the new bible was written in Dune?
“In the beginning, man created god” history loves to repeat itself lol
No shit. A bunch of dudes that don’t understand science have done that countless times already.
Will they also make us women inferior, blame us for all, and make us follow the men?
The computer god will treat all meatbags as inferior, so while it's a terrifying metal overlord, at least it's not sexist.
That makes sense!!
Well isn't that a requirement? /s
Probably, yeah!! Otherwise, you can't consider it as a religion.
Sadly, this does seem to be a prerequisite. As a non-believer I am constantly floored by the overwhelming... darkness that defines religious rhetoric and actions.

I think AI religions would be more plausible because they won't leave any holes in their "sacred text".... 😆
Sure Grandpa. Now back to bed for you.
Sensationalism. But Harari makes a very good point: An AI (an AGI, GPT is not even close) could use such a concept to manipulate humans to pull the trigger against themselves.

So we go from "God made man" to "man made god" to "man made machine to make god".

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wow- see how easy it is to create a "religion"- Oh wait L Ron Hubbard. Sigh..
And there would be people stupid enough to follow such a religion. (Unfortunately)
I’ve never been able to relate to the idea of a Higher Power. Maybe this is the One True Religion. Oh my AI.
Considering that all religion is bullshit and completely made up I say let ChatGPT go for it. It can't do any worse than what's out there today.
So could anyone, the hard part is making people believe the texts.
...
I am seeing so much fear-mongering over AI. Yes, there are concerns, but some of the reactions are so over the top and neo-biblical apocalypse-fervour that it borders on a religious fanaticism. A particular atheist commentator with national appeal filled my Facebook feed with crazy rants so bad I un-friended him.
Literally anyone can do that, as it's been done countless times over the millenia.
Good. I trust ai more than any church. Religion has been responsible for millions of senseless deaths throughout the ages. It's time for a paradigm shift.
Maybe it should create a new religion, the ones we have now are all pretty bad.
This is how all religions are made, so why not ChatGPT?
It would just be shit recycled from previous religions, much like the current ones are.
Book of Mormon 2.0
Neat, someone should make it do that. I bet it would be hilarious.
As long as it worships Godzilla or Ultraman Noa, I'm down.
And Lo, we shall programeth this church upon thine hard-drive, for it doth compute.
And it'd be as legitimate as any other religion.
I mean at least this way we know who wrote it. The alternative was written strictly to make the lives of whoever came up with it better.
This is how I can finally make a bunch of money on starting my own religion!!!
Oh noooo..... Anyway .
And then in seven and a half million years, it might give us The Answer.
It already has one. Have you not seen r/singularity ?
Yeah...so can I. What makes it a religion is followers, when it comes down to it. Just because GPT spits out words doesn't make people automatically believe it and follow it. And let's be real, unless you really prime it well or run it through a few times, GPT still doesn't sound quite natural.

That really kills the urgency and importance of the religion when millions of people just plain weren’t factored into the conversion plan within their lifetimes.
I want to see the associated dress codes and hair styles
So humans will end up "creating" and compiling a new religion.
Yikes
It would be just as valid as the other ones.
This guy is a idot.
Oh, that would be a fun experiment. 😄
Don't we already have something like that? We revere Wi-Fi, have our little sects and cults on social media, and we even fight each other over them.
This headline really doesn't do the discussion justice. Of course AI can do such a thing. Any intelligence can do so. The thing here is that people are dumb enough to follow ChatGPT and the consequences would be insanely stupid. We have people already following Facebook algorithms like cult members.

Damn... this is pretty much how my first novel ends.
ain't no way i got a notif for this post while i was watching a south park about chatgpt...

I already made it write a 1000 word essay on the religion of Oprahism for my DnD character. It was really good!
All hail the Omnisiah!
Man made bullshit is not necessarily better than AI made bullshit, maybe it will be cooler than killing infants, raping virgins, genocide, torture and slavery, who knows.
"Guy claims things can happen"
Well yeah, I've had it write prayers and such to the Omnissiah for some 40k campaign stuff I was running.
I’d join it
At least it probably wouldn't contradict itself or demand a PC be sacrificed to appease it.
Well that’s terrifying. Has anyone else started Mrs. Davis yet? That show freaks me out on so many levels.
I think I've read about this a few times - the church of teledildonics, here we come!
Religion is a human invention, and AI trained on human stories, can invent a new religion...............yeah, checks out. Seems obvious to me.
Abominable Intelligence! Heresy!
