It is purported by one Ben Finn <https://twitter.com/optimablog>, to be
GPT-3-generated.  If, as _seems_ likely, the "religion" described is Ben
Finn's "creation", he is best described as offering up satirical
entertainment.  However, far less sophisticated "plausible next sentence"
exhibitions

such as those by the late, great Hecht-Nielsen's Confabulation Engine, have
been suspected, by no less an authority as our own Matt Mahoney, of being
sentences that were, in effect, memorized from the training corpus.  Add to
that my own professional investigations of attempts to hack the google page
rank algorithms leading, inevitably, to article re-generation that passes
for human, and the enormous financial incentives to beat google's detection
algorithms, and the "plausible article generation" offered up by Ben Finn,
should not be so lightly dismissed. This, by the way, is what makes Ben
Finn's satire, if that it be, no mere troll, let alone SPAM.
