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.

一种新的科技灵性正在互联网上像野火一样蔓延。成千上万的人声称 ChatGPT 具有感知能力，而人工智能就像无所不知的上帝，或者它是从未来或外星文明派来拯救我们的。

这是一种新的宗教形式还是群体性精神错乱？在本视频中，我深入探讨了 ChatGPT/AI 崇拜的兴起，并揭示了数十年来流行文化的影响如何引导我们将科技视为神明。我深入探讨了科技如何与灵性、硅谷创始人崇拜融合，以及关于这一主题的学术研究成果，以及我们如何才能在为时已晚之前阻止更多人陷入这种恶性循环。
