If you could ban religion, or ban AI, which would you ban?

If you ban religion AI will become people's God. So that is really not an option.

Religion has caused so much suffering though.

A blanket ban on AI seems extreme, perhaps banning commercialization would be the way to go so no one can try and profit from it. Obviously corporations would not like this idea.

Say more here. It’s an interesting claim. Why do you see this as inevitable? I’m an atheist and AI has not become my god.

Well, I am just basing it off the fact that a bunch of people are already using AI in this fashion. Without something to fill this gap I think AI would be a likely candidate.

It has already become common for existing religions to use AI to answer spiritual questions and preachers have started using it to write sermons.

I think cutting people off of traditional religion would accelerated this AI god concept. This is just my opinion of course.

@Doomsider @stickyprimer people are going to make AI into a religion regardless. We did it with books when they were first invented.
