For all the potential threats of AI, I confess I hadn't thought of this angle: AI as religion.
I agree with a lot of his speculation. Let's face it, some people would worship anything, if you gloss it up enough. However, I don't agree with the last part about welcoming AI religions because most religious people are peaceful and religions are sort of good. No, they are not, and religions are a drag on the human species. I'd rather people take away from AI belief in science rather bowing to talking machines.
So stand by for the AI religious. Wonderful. Just what we don't need.
