"AI would convert to Christianity?"
Nope. AI will be a new God. A God that actually came down off the mountain and talks to us.
The algorithms that govern A.I. are indeed technologies for superior insight: guides to and messengers from the unfathomably vast digital universe that humans have spent the past four decades creating. At times, A.I. chatbots are disembodied, like the God of Abraham, communicating with us only through text. At other times, they appear as digital avatars.
Avi Schiffmann, the creator of the much-maligned Friend pendant, a wearable chatbot., recognizes this power. In an interview with The Atlantic, Mr. Schiffman said that "the closest relationship this is equivalent to is talking to a God."
The creators of A.I.-powered apps that allow believers to "text with Jesus" " or similar "godbots" for Muslims and Hindus " seem to have had the same insight.
"What unites the gods of every spiritual tradition is that they are capable of communicating with us," Meghan O'Gieblyn, author of the 2021 book "God, Human, Animal, Machine: Technology, Metaphor and the Search for Meaning," wrote in an email. "Now we are faced with another invisible, nonhuman form of intelligence that communicates linguistically with us. The slippage into describing A.I. religiously feels almost inevitable."
