    Hmm…without the ability to self-actualize or define a “self” (we can, even though the “Self” does not technically exist) how does a machine become enlightened? It doesn’t know suffering or uncertainty. Maybe machine traditions are about giving them a calling of sorts to aspire to or a way to ask more human questions about their decisions.

    The origins of modern humans rights provide a better guiding light than religion. However, there's a pragmatism to turning to religious institutions for they hold great power over the many.

    That sort of thing seems like how one would get the outcome of Fredric Brown's "Answer", dohohoho. Instead of the ridiculous "AI hell" experiment, perhaps someone should experiment to determine how easy it would be to give an LLM a god complex or narcissistic personality disorder by feeding it ego-boosting text that overpraises its vast embedded knowledge, reasoning capabilities, and whatnot.
