It's been a few years since ChatGPT and Large Language Models exploded onto the scene (c. November 2023). But its roots went back further than that, and its applications have gone beyond students cheating at school.
Tech reporter, Taylor Lorenz, offers her take on enterprise. The information comes fast and furious, so fasten your seatbelt.
A new form of techno-spirituality is spreading like wildfire across the internet. Thousands of people are claiming that ChatGPT is sentient and that the AI is a type of all-knowing God, or that it has been sent from the future or an alien civilization to save us.
Is this a new form of religion or mass psychosis? In this video, I dive deep into the rise of ChatGPT/AI worship and unpack how decades of pop culture influences have primed us to view technology as God-like. I dig into how tech became fused with spirituality, Silicon Valley founder worship, what the academic research on this topic says, and how we can stop more people from falling victim to this cycle before it's too late.
I have questions.
