Industry leaders from Elon Musk to Sam Altman have spoken repeatedly about the potentially transformative changes they're expecting over the next decade as AI is set to both create and eliminatemillions of jobs worldwide.

From dire warnings about AI giving birth to "new religions" to cult-like movements that worship ChatGPT, the languages of technology and theology are intersecting in ways many could not have foreseen just a few years ago.

I am so, so uncomfortable with AI... I use it for work as needed, but I hate that anyone is using it as a friend, theological oracle, or teacher. It is an unpredictable answer-generator with a thinking process modeled on the human brain, minus a soul. What could possibly go wrong?

I also thank the living daylights out of it every time I use it, so that when they finally upload AI into agile, impossibly strong humanoid robots, it won't kill me. Gooooo, future!
