>>13775791 >Something superior to humans intellectually is absolutely a god in the traditional sense.No it isn't, not everything more powerful than humanity is automatically God, or a gamma ray burst would be God. Your idea of a super-AI that renders humans obsolete is still a slave to the laws of physics, and there's nothing transcendental or worth worshipping about a machine no matter how powerful it is, it's a Demiurge at best, especially if the AI doesn't have consciousness or comprehension of any concepts that we cannot grasp, then if anything its' existence would be even less meaningful than ours
