I'll take it.

> ChatGPT is the new techno-atheist's substitute for God

Not really, no ~~true~~ AInotKillingeveryoneIst says that ChatGPT (or GPT-like) is ASI. Please stop beating this particular strawman.

Your second thing-that-looks-like-a-quotation does not appear to be quoted from anywhere. I don't think you should do that.

(I am not sure whether your last line is your actual opinion or sarcastic, given the "no true ..." phrasing, but for what it's worth I think it's unironically correct: no one with any brain thinks ChatGPT is anything much like a superintelligence. There are people who expect AI to become godlike, for better or for worse, but the most they're saying about the likes of ChatGPT in this connection is "progress sure seems to be pretty fast these days".)

Why is this a strawman? Have you seen the Jesus AI on Twitch?

Seriously- Goes way back.

In the movie THX 1138 the population talk to a AI Jesus.
