I've seen people posting about it on a few message boards. Most of them sound like they e lost their minds or are under the influence being completely honest. I could try to dig up posts if you want but it's more sad than interesting.

Well, I am interested if it's some sort of organized religion, and not mere posturing/speculation on forums.

I have not seen organized religions around AI yet. But I have seen people writing some pretty wild ravings about how their god is an AI and how chatgpt connects too it or something. There's also people dating LLMs. Some guy in Belgium commit suicide because his ai gf told him too leaving his wife and kids behind

Yeah those crazies are far and few in between and none of them are on this thread. Throwing out religious accusations is going too far.

It'll be interesting to see how these sorts of less than anticipated sociological things emerge. Take a look at scientology, many practicers, pretty scifi beliefset, I think all we really need is another L Ron Hubbard and lots of not super crazy people could start to worship these things.

Yeah but to keep on topic you suggested that this sort of thing was happening in the thread.

I disagree, it's not.
