We are on the cusp of new religions forming around AI. As primitive and nonsensical as GPT-3 is, even in this thread on a site full of technologically literate people we already see some suggesting that GPT-3 is a superintelligence. Imagine how the technologically illiterate and credulous, of which there are many, might react to GPT-4. Also consider what would happen if a similar model was trained not indiscriminately on a hodgepodge of every text its creators could get their hands on, but specifically on oracular and sacred texts. A new religion might spontaneously ignite from that alone, but of course the likelihood increases if the tool gets in to the hands of someone with that intent.
