Only the followers believe the propaganda. The leaders don't actually believe it, they use it to control their flock of stupids. And they only listen to their leaders.

probably, but you're reinforcing their stupid wrong notions that either of those things are bad. even if it were possible to "make someone gay"

people don't "become gay" any more than they "become straight"

Don’t spread homophobic bullshit. That’s not a win.

As a Satanist, I detest the comparison to AI.

Reminds me of my first day of intro to programming my first semester of freshman year at a small Christian Reformed college.

It opened with prayer and then a lecture on how technology is inherently evil. Then we started writing a java applet.

I applied to a state school within 2 weeks of starting.

We joke but the right wing fascists literally use strategies like this to gain christian support.

Evangelicals are wild. There was one who walked dogs in my neighborhood.

Well someone had left a Monster can sitting on their front steps. The dog walker saw this and holy hell.

She left a single spaced margin to margin three page letter outlining how the Monster logo was the pichfork of satan upside down, it’s escalated to the dog walker finding facebook pages and finally threatening people with a gun in a grocery store parking lot.

Needless to say, she isn’t walking dogs in the neighborhood anymore.

Tell them that asking AI a question is just like consulting a ouija board. The answers are coming from the same plane.

I mean, it will literally steal your soul. Using LLMs changes you. It degrades your skills. Its sycophancy harms your ability to interact with actual human beings with opinions of their own. It makes you feel like you are never wrong. And use it enough, and it can literally drive you mad.

LLMs are the closest real thing to a malevolent demon that will steal your soul.

Someone needs to make a BIBLE AI. Say that it's totally based on the Bible and then program it to slowly change their beliefs.

Using eldritch runes etched in silicon to invoke a pale imitation of a living being is basically already summoning demons

My ultra-religious mother "heard from someone" that AI "is the devil" so she wouldn't use it. That's great. Unfortunately, it made her really scared of everything. She was super anxious because AI was in the news all the time.

I really don't want her to use AI, because she already has such a hard time distinguishing fantasy from reality. But, I still had to try to explain to her that LLMs are just fancy auto-complete, and how often they get things wrong to reduce her stress level. I hope she continues not to use them, but now I hope she just shakes her head and sighs when someone else uses one, instead of thinking they're letting evil into their bodies.

Nah, it'll just make sure they lobby the government so AI has to have a pro-religion and anti-lgbtq bias. Do we really need more Groks?

Using the word "convince" means you might not fully realise what you're facing.

You can't convince the brainwashed, it's not about what is said, but rather who said it. Unless you're one of the authority figures they take their instructions from, there's nothing you can say to convince them because as far as they're concerned, you're just a lyin' lib'rul Satanist or some other bullshit.

Read revelation 13... Something about a beast making an image and "breathing life" into it...

But Peter Thiel said we need the technology to restrain the antichrist.

Just tell them it's stopping people from reading scripture and interpreting Jesus without the holyspirt. People are turning to AI assuming it's Gods word and AI companies won't stop it.

Unlikely. They like all the new “features”.

But the people telling them how to think or feel want it and have a way better budget than you.

Tell them it makes the tower of babel look like a sandcastle
