Humans are attracted to certain types of mythological stories - and there’s nothing wrong with that. It becomes a problem when the stories and reality are conflated, like is happening with AI. The idea that apocalypse cults are always wrong comes from two source: (1) empirical evidence, every time there’s been one it’s wrong and (2) understanding human sociology, humans are susceptible to making certain types of thought errors as groups and apocalypse cults such as the AI one demonstrate those errors everywhere. So yeah an apocalypse cult could be right, but it would necessarily be for the wrong reasons. Just like a broken clock that matches the current time 2 minutes of the full day.
