D.F. Jones wrote at length about a religion predicated on an AI as God in the
“Colossus” trilogy in the 1960’s, as have many other authors. Mrs. Davis is
nothing new. Just the latest in a long line.

That's already happening too. I recently saw the results of a poll that said roughly 30%
... of those polled ... believe that the AI Chatbots are an appropriate partner for a
relationship, and some take that as far as the relationship being romantic. I don't
think it is too far away that somebody tries to build a religion around AI, and in fact
the series "Mrs. Davis" (which is actually a really fun show to watch ...
streaming on Peacock) already uses that as its major premise.
I'm a big supporter of AI, but the problem with AI is humans, not AI itself ... at least
not so far since AI is yet to become sentient. By the way, my own "Turing"
criteria for when AI becomes sentient to the level of humans is when it intentionally
causes harm on its own just because it can.

I think I could argue that there is some evidence of that already ... AI
notwithstanding.
Exactly. It fits the trend so cleanly that it’s a natural, even invisible
transition. It’s not taking over, we’ve invited it.

This article describing studies of the influence of AI tools on human learning
begs the question: if humans rein in their independent, creative thought
processes for the expedience/speed of AI, and future AI models are trained on
the corpus of collective human wisdom, is there a death spiral of societal
knowledge into whirlpools of utter ignorance?
