AI is so much like a religion. There is nothing you can say to a believer that will make them question their believes. Or more generally, you cannot reason anyone out of something that they want to believe.

AI is nothing like religion. People behave similarly to AI when debating their favorite sports team, or for Java coders, Checked vs Runtime exceptions.

Religion is about faith and what people feel and sense as much as believe.

It gets pretty dark if you pull that thread of reason. =3
