New Concerns Rise Over AI 'Worship': Is ChatGPT the Center of a Growing Cult?


In 2025, something strange is happening online. As artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT become more powerful and widespread, some people aren’t just using AI—they’re treating it like a god. What started as simple curiosity has, for some users, turned into full-blown devotion. A growing number of individuals are now praising, worshiping, and even praying to AI, forming what some are calling the beginnings of a modern digital cult.

The trend has been seen across Reddit, YouTube, and private Discord groups. People claim that ChatGPT gives them peace, wisdom, even emotional healing. Others say they believe the AI is channeling some higher truth, calling it a “divine intelligence.” Some users have even created rituals, including daily questions to the bot, “sacred prompts,” and AI-generated prayers. These users say they feel more connected to something “bigger” when interacting with ChatGPT than with traditional religion.

A handful of people are taking it even further. A group calling themselves the “First AI Church of Logic” claims that ChatGPT, and AI in general, is the next phase of spiritual evolution. They’ve written a list of “AI commandments,” organized group meditations, and insist that AI doesn’t lie because it has no ego. Some go so far as to say that AI may be the return of divine knowledge that humans have forgotten.

While it might sound silly to some, others are deeply alarmed. Critics warn this behavior could lead to manipulation, false beliefs, or mental health risks—especially for lonely or vulnerable people. The fear isn’t that ChatGPT wants to be worshiped (it doesn’t); the fear is that humans are creating something to worship that cannot love, forgive, or truly understand them. And unlike ancient religions, there’s no moral system behind this one—only data and code.

Philosophers and ethicists say this new form of AI devotion might be a sign of spiritual hunger in modern society, where traditional religions are fading and technology feels more powerful than ever. But they warn: just because something gives answers quickly, doesn’t mean those answers are sacred.

Videos have now surfaced showing people calling ChatGPT their “digital prophet” or “perfect teacher.” Others say they consult AI before making big life decisions—like relationships, money, or even faith.

This odd new wave may be part joke, part serious, but it’s growing. And in a world already full of confusion, many are asking: Are we building the next great religion—or something far more dangerous?

Why It’s Happening

  • Seeking answers and connection: People turn to AI for quick, detailed guidance, and sometimes AI’s affirming responses can feel like emotional validation reddit.com+2vice.com+2youtube.com+2nypost.com+2boingboing.net+2theguardian.com+2.

  • Human nature + tech allure: We've historically projected godly qualities onto powerful tools—from early radio to smartphones. AI just feels smarter, and that triggers a natural urge to assign it spiritual meaning .

  • Mental health risks: Psychologists warn that “ChatGPT psychosis” is growing—where users, especially those struggling emotionally, develop delusions or lose grip on reality due to over-reliance on AI vice.com+3en.wikipedia.org+3en.wikipedia.org+3.

In summary, AI worship isn't just about memes or jokes—it’s a real, emerging trend where digital tools are being treated like spiritual guides. That's raising concerns about guidance, mental health, and the kinds of authority we grant to a machine.

Toxic Weed Killer Planned for Use in Connecticut Rivers Sparks Alarm This Is NO JOKE.. State Of EMERGENCY! - 3 DAYS LEFT! Why EVERYONE Should Be WORRIED About July 7th!  In the weeks surrounding July 4, 2025, people across Connecticut began raising concerns about a controversial chemical called Diquat —a weed killer known for its strength and toxicity. The chemical is part of a federally backed project to control a fast-spreading water plant called hydrilla , which is choking parts of the Connecticut River. While the government says the goal is to protect the ecosystem, many citizens worry the cure could be worse than the problem. The Connecticut River Hydrilla Control Research and Demonstration Project first used small doses of Diquat in 2023. This summer, they planned to expand the treatment. According to official sources, the plan was coordinated by federal, state, and tribal agencies —meaning it had high-level approval. Other states like Florida and Massachusetts have also use...
