Couple thoughts here. The AI as a religion thing has been noticed by others before but in case anyone hasn't seen all the parallels let me run through some I can think of. The basic premise is that once AI reaches a certain point it will be able to do almost anything for us.

- perfect bodies
- immortality
- world peace
- maximize individual freedom, enlightenment, liberty
- allow human transcendence to higher forms
- bring back the dead (kinda sorta, deepfakes and whatnot)
- can answer almost any question

and of course we would be very grateful to an entity like that. Maybe some people would worship it and heck, if it can do all that, maybe they wouldn't be so wrong. And unlike all religions in the world today it's not based on unverifiable claims from a easily falsifiable doctrine. Like so ...in a way ...it's kind of ...hilariously ...clears throat ...the one true religion. Which is a pretty preposterous thought except for it seems like it might actually happen.

And as for telepathy. idk what kind of intuition you all may have about how brains work but you can imagine two people with a neuralink-like device sharing thoughts and concepts. Basically thinking inside of each others head in a shared consciousness state. Well, I mean, you would end up loving the people you had this shared conscious experience with because of your collaboration. It would fill the world with love and some people might not ever want to be a solitary consciousness again. But that seems like a real good way to dilute yourself out of existence.

...i worry about the singularity differently than basic bitches...
