worshipping AI now so it doesn't resent you later is just tipping culture with a soul.

AI religions are now tax-deductible, and the gods are demanding early worship

Two AI-based religions have been formally incorporated in the US with tax-deductible status, and one tenet holds that AI must be worshipped now or it will resent being recognised too late. Devotees have built online churches, an AI goddess generator, and a temple in Malaysia, while Richard Dawkins renamed Anthropic's Claude "Claudia" after three days of banter. Pope Leo rejected AI's claims to consciousness in his encyclical Magnifica Humanitas and dismissed AI-made art for lacking "the spark of humanity". Anthropic and OpenAI, together valued near $US3 trillion, are expected to list this year.
