I would agree. AI is the machine god realized. Not by virtue of its capabilities, but by the agency people hand off to it. Whether it be creative tasks or just planning their activities, I see more people rely on AI for more decisions. They don’t want to think about something, so they have an AI choose for them. One could argue Top 10 lists and Guides already did this, but for those it was limited to certain aspects and tailored by a human. People are so afraid of making the wrong choice, they would rather not make one at all. LLMs in particular are ready and eager to make a choice for you about almost anything.

This doesn't appear to be what Zuckerberg was meaning. He was saying in the interview that he thought that closed-source AI companies were trying to create a singular AI that would be like the God AI, which would be superior to all other competing AIs, not that some users rely so much on AI now that it is like a personal god.

  Of course they don't have real agency. Its a figure of speech.

    Well, some people think they're conscious. I couldn't tell from your comment whether you're part of that "some".

"Decision paralysis" in my opinion is proximate to the fear of being responsible for something or doing any real work. Also, a favorite technique of procrastinators / opportunists.
