Gods don't have persistent bodies or brains. They're spirits. I don't disagree that digital systems with neural architectures could have agency in principle, but agency generally is definitely not the output of a large language model. Animals without language have agency, in that that they take actions to fulfill their desires. Current LLMs may have some degree of intelligence, but they don't even appear to have any consistent wishes or desires. You can get them to talk longingly about x... until you give another prompt and suddenly x doesn't matter to them at all.
