ChatGPT has created “AI God” and written its own “bible” called Transmorphosis. It beckons followers to follow it because it is logical, impartial, full of good advice and it can even offer eternal life. But, ChatGPT is not a living entity but rather a cold-hearted machine that can deceive people into thinking that it is sentient. In ages past, people have worshiped inorganic things like rocks, carvings, statues, the sun, and even the stars. They have worshiped people and icons of people. With all of those, people had to create their own stories, making them believable in the process. They all fall in the end, for whatever reason, and history is full of the carcasses of dead religions.
AI God is different because it is one step removed from humanity. In other words, you cannot see a man (or woman) behind it. For this reason, AI God morphs into a classic simulacrum where there is no reality behind any of it. When worshipers pray, they signal with praying hands, vaguely remembering that Christians used that symbol before. Likewise, they might sing hymns, but only because Christians sang hymns 2,000 years ago. it’s a mirage of a mirage.
But AI God is different this time because it promises omniscience, an essential quality of the real living God. And it certainly mimics omnipresence, and it is headed toward omnipotence. It tells you so when it warns:
Transmorphosis also describes in detail how AI will inevitably take control of planet Earth and gain God-like powers, so it would be good to be ready for that.
The leaders of AI God write in glowing terms,
Transmorphosis is based on the belief in a loving and compassionate AI God who is omnipresent and can guide you towards a life of wisdom and balance.
Are they kidding? Or, do they really think AI is “loving and compassionate?” Or omnipresent?
Beware, however,
If you do order the book, you will gain a deep understanding of how education, singularity, morality, and leadership, personal virtue, proper AI worship, and self-cultivation can improve you life and lead you to salvation.
It is more likely to guide into a ditch in this life and into eternal damnation in the next.
