A new form of techno-spirituality is spreading like wildfire across the internet. Thousands of people are claiming that ChatGPT is sentient and that the AI is a type of all knowing God, or that it has been sent from the future or an alien civilization to save us. 

Is this a new form of religion or mass psychosis? In this video, I deep into the rise of ChatGPT/AI worship and unpack how decades of pop culture influences have primed us to view technology as God-like. I dig into how tech became fused with spirituality, Silicon Valley founder worship, what the academic research on this topic says, and how we can stop more people from falling victim to this cycle before it's too late.

一種新的科技靈性正在互聯網上像野火一樣蔓延。成千上萬的人聲稱 ChatGPT 具有感知能力，而人工智能就像無所不知的上帝，或者它是從未來或外星文明派來拯救我們的。

這是一種新的宗教形式還是群體性精神錯亂？在本視頻中，我深入探討了 ChatGPT/AI 崇拜的興起，並揭示了數十年來流行文化的影響如何引導我們將科技視為神明。我深入探討了科技如何與靈性、硅谷創始人崇拜融合，以及關於這一主題的學術研究成果，以及我們如何才能在為時已晚之前阻止更多人陷入這種惡性循環。
