This thought process is something I think is a common misconception with how cults work. A machine to autogenerate cult-ish nonsense isn't needed. Humans are already incredibly good at doing this on their own. Not only this, but another thing about this is that cults generally fine-tune themselves to fit their members. A machine generating convincing lies still wouldn't meaningfully do as much as a human-operated, human-targeted attempt at a cult. Creating one is something basically any human can do; the required skillset is something most people possess.
