There's a lot of media swirling around right now that's remarking upon the fact that the AI movement especially at it's most evangelical end strongly resembles what would otherwise be called a cult.

I don't think it's a coincidence we're seeing the largest numbers ever of people leaving organized religion at the same time we're seeing so many communities like the one that's grown around AI spring up that are essentially religion without the historical baggage.
