Further proof for my thesis that animism was, is, and always will be, the true religion of mankind.

"she sees a similarity in the omnipresence of both God or gods and AI"

Perhaps she should have defined the term God before.

What exactly is God?

And who/what created God?

And who/what created the creator of God…?

Ah, you see, that is what old thinking would have done (as per the scientific method); new thinking, by contrast, or thunking, if you like, isn't like *that*.

If you are thunking, you may already infer the results by checking in with the funders.

"philosopher Claudia Paganini puts forward the thesis that artificial intelligence (AI) can be thought of as a new God today and shows what radically new aspects this image of God entails."

OM, um, G! How stupid can you be?

Re such 'hallucinations': my biggest fun moment with Grok 3 occurred a few weeks ago when I asked it to list the EU's 'primary dealers' and AI (sic) insisted that there were no such things. Only when I provided a direct link did Grok begin 'splainin' (needless to say, it also made up references, incl. book titles alleged to be published by high-profile academic houses, such as Oxford UP).

As to your question: 'How stupid can you be?'

I suppose the answer may be--as any narcissist knows, the sky's the limit here…
