Ah, well, not to put spoilers on this article, but this AI believing it’s a god is reminiscent of the main conflict of a particular Persona game (no I will not elaborate on which it is). Lab technician Travis DeShazo has created a bot that was trained to generate pseudo-biblical verses. The AI, called GPT-2 Religion A.I., learns from its massive inventory of religious training texts and churns out new bible-esque verses. The results from the AI is posted on the Twitter account for the AI:

The results are fairly convincing, too, at least as far as synthetic scripture (his words) goes. “Not a god of the void or of chaos, but a god of wisdom,”reads one message, posted on the @gods_txt Twitter feed for GPT-2 Religion A.I. “This is the knowledge of divinity that I, the Supreme Being, impart to you. When a man learns this, he attains what the rest of mankind has not, and becomes a true god. Obedience to Me! Obey!”
Another message, this time important enough to bepinned to the top of the timeline, proclaims: “My sayings are a remedy for all your biological ills. Go out of this place and meditate. Perhaps some day your blood will be warm and your bones will grow strong.”
