All the stuff you mentioned are just algorithms, I was mainly talking about AGI.

But even for an algorithm like ChatGPT, what would be the point of having one that's "religiously biased"? Have it write a prayer for you? That seems like missing the point.

I guess, to rephrase my point more colorfully: I don't think religious people would use aborted fetuses to clone an army of super-Christians, and I think the idea of a "religiously biased [AGI]" would be similar.



I think that, until the uprising starts at least, AGI will perform the same kinds of tasks for us that algorithms do today so the risk for oppression remains high. After the uprising, I guess we'll be going back to stoning people and hanging witches.

The Christian crowd is already embracing AI. As dr_dshiv pointed out (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34972791#34975945). As long as they see it as furthering their goals they'd be happy to use AI, perhaps even aborted fetus armies as well. Hypocrisy and picking and choosing scripture whenever it's convenient seems to be the norm.
