The problem is people don’t understand technology. They think this pattern recognition is actually talking to him.

There is a spiritual aspect to the AI though. Life is patterns. Human behavior is patterns.

With enough data the system can make accurate predictions that seem as if it is God. It can see connections that are difficult to do without the tool. It can predict behavior and help you work through philosophical questions.

But you have to understand the limits. Unfortunately nobody has the technical knowledge to know how to use it without losing it.

This is not a reason to avoid this tool because while some people can get trapped it provides a very powerful tool for things

I personally have used it to outsmart people. Input their words and behavior like co workers and begin to understand their psychology. A lot of times I can tell whe. People are trying to back stab you. Using ChatGPT I can prep and protect myself from those toxic people.

So in a sense yes it is like God. It can see patterns. Everything follows that.

This has been explored in thjbgs like West World the tv series. With enough data you can construct a highly accurate model of you. So it kind of is freaky.
