Will we turn over our faith to AI, just like we accept religion?

Both AI and religion are based on our imagination. We created religion to believe in something to control our lives. We created AI to increase productivity … if you do the full “why?” analysis. 

What happens when we live under the ruthless control of an AI productivity god?

We feed religion with blind faith. We feed AI with data about what we eat, search for, listen to , talk about, love, hate, create, destroy. We give all the formulas for what we build, so it can learn to make them better and faster. 

We trust AI, like we trust a god. Yet we created both. 

Maybe trust each other a little more. Maybe trust nature a little more. 

Our imaginations are powerful. Maybe we shouldn’t let what we create rule us.
