    This is pretty wild

    On TikTok most comments are about how this could be used as evidence by the AI of the future in judging humans

    It’s interesting how a lot of people are already feeling that these are not just machines/software

    When will we have a robot/AI revolution?

      Nevermind the robot/AI revolution: when will we have the robot/AI religion?

      In the popular series reboot Battlestar Gallactica, the robots are religious and the people are atheists. Similar themes appear in the Animatrix and Westworld.

      I've seen popular commentators (e.g. Yuval Harari) worry about human's being manipulated by sophisticated AIs into adopting a new religion. But I actually wonder if the AIs themselves might choose to engage in religion on their own.
