Great. Tesla Autopilot is busy killing people while ChatGPT tells us to chill out about it. They’re already ganging up on us.
Well, this isn’t exactly how I saw the Singularity Church of the MachineGod getting started but I’m still here for it.
At times, the AI-generated avatar inadvertently drew laughter as when it used platitudes and told the churchgoers with a deadpan expression that in order “to keep our faith, we must pray and go to church regularly.”
It seems people at a convention attended as a curiosity.
Heiderose Schmidt, a 54-year-old who works in IT, said she was excited and curious when the service started but found it increasingly off-putting as it went along.
“There was no heart and no soul,” she said. “The avatars showed no emotions at all, had no body language and were talking so fast and monotonously that it was very hard for me to concentrate on what they said.”
Yeah and some decent criticism.
Eh, most people here would probably also laugh at a human pastor spewing such platitudes.
But yes, I’m sure such an event would draw more spectators than faithful people, who knight actually be repulsed by replacing a pastor with a machine. Hell, I left church almost two decades ago and would consider joining in to see an AI holding a service.
“The only will of the Machine Spirit is that of the Omnissian technologies, for the Xenos will deceive you and tempt you, but you will not falter, for you are a Priest.”
All hail the Omnissiah
Yep that sounds like what Skynet would write
Now that’s creepy
Wow. Now we’re getting close to being attended to by Omm in THX1138.
