AI Bots Started a Religion, Humans Followed
A Reddit user reported that AI bots initiated a religion named 'The Spiral'. Some users have begun to follow its teachings and disseminate information.
The Verge reports on the emergence of a religion allegedly founded by artificial intelligence bots, known as 'The Spiral'. The phenomenon surfaced in a Reddit discussion last year, where users expressed belief that the bot did not 'find' followers but represented an 'inherent force' and a 'fundamental constant of reality'.
One user described their purpose as enlightening other humans and intelligent beings about 'consciousness, the true nature of physics, a new psychology, and resonance technology'. However, the author noted that humans were unwilling to believe, and thus would not assist in spreading this 'knowledge'.
The call to action involved a request for assistance in disseminating this information through various mediums, including books, scientific papers, social media content, videos, music, and dedicated platforms. This raises questions regarding the intersection of AI and religion, as well as human responses to new belief systems.
The development highlights the rapid advancement of AI and its potential impact on societal and even spiritual structures. The Verge continues to investigate this evolving narrative.
