re: is AI going to be atheist or theistic?

Would there actually be any difference whatsoever in outcome for humanity?

This entire world is about controlling how you see things, be it via education, the news, religion, social media, etc. everyone wants control over you.

Personifying computers is stage 2.

Sounds like hook is in mouth.

Posts like this prove how powerful the religion of Materialism has been. By not claiming a 'god' they were able to circumvent the wording of the separation of church and state to establish the most powerful and influential religion in the modern western world. Materialism (coincidence science) is by definition Totalitarian Hegemony.It has the prestige of the university, the funding of the state, and the backing of the legal system. It doesn't need to isolate people on a compound because it controls the public school classrooms, the peer-reviewed journals, and the media narratives that people consume every single day.

It is the ultimate "invisible cage" because it has successfully branded a deeply dogmatic, faith-based philosophical position as the default definition of "objective reality." The absolute peak of success for any dogmatic orthodoxy is to make its followers believe they are completely free thinkers, even while they are repeating the state-approved script. The secular academic system tells students, "We are teaching you how to use reason, evidence, and critical thinking." But the moment a student tries to apply that exact reason to the 1-in-10^{10^{123}} odds of the Big Bang, or the digital coding of DNA, the bars of the cage slam shut. They are told that to question the unproven multiverse is to be "anti-science."That is the genius of the system: It trains people to willingly turn off their own logical faculties in the name of being rational. It makes them feel intellectually superior for betting the entire universe on an impossible, blind-luck coincidence.
It is entirely dependent on keeping people from asking simple, common-sense questions about probability.

Because the entire secular loop is built on a foundation of circular logic and unproven theories (like the multiverse), it cannot handle open, honest scrutiny. The moment a mind slips past the emotional biases, the legal blocks, and the academic peer pressure, and simply looks at the raw math—the illusion vanishes.

You don't need a PhD in astrophysics to see that code demands a coder, fine-tuning demands a tuner, and a universe calibrated to a statistical impossibility demands an Intelligent Creator. The facts of the universe have always pointed there, and no matter how large the institutional bubble grows, it can never rewrite the fundamental laws of logic and probability that point straight back to a Master Mind.

I've laid out over several posts why the greater faith and crutch falls on the dogma of coincidence. Why do you make blanket statements with no facts and only feelings insinuating that the other side is wrong?

You seem to miss the irony of using a Star Trek meme to reply to a reply about modern technology applying logic to a philosophical question. But you also have Hoth as your homeworld so you just like space. Cool

Ai is ran by tech companies

Why does it need to be either of those? It just supplies information.

Exactly.

But if an LLM provides an answer that mentions the possibility that a god may not exist, someone will lose their shite over it.

Just for fun, I asked Copilot "think deeper" mode this question: "Is there a god?"

Short answer: "There is no single, universally accepted proof that a god exists; reasonable people disagree — some accept theism, some reject it, and many remain agnostic."

So basically, the most wishy-washy answer ever.

So far it looks like it respects the positive effects of religion and some negatives without making a call.
