You've described animism.

They aren't ridiculous because they're engaging in animism. Animism is the oldest form of human religious practice.

They're ridiculous because they're working for AI corporations actively helping the US military murder schools full of little girls in Central Asia.

My Understanding of Religion Evolution:

•Pre-Animism (at least 300,000 years ago)
•Animism (Africa: 100,000 years ago)
•Totemism (Europe: 50,000 years ago)
•Shamanism (Siberia: 30,000 years ago)
•Paganism (Turkey: 12,000 years ago)

Professor Karpf is describing animism here, which is where you attribute human qualities to inanimate objects, hence animating them, and thus "animism."

Animism is the basis for all human religion.

Organized religion is the opposite of it. It came tens of thousands of years later.

I respectfully submit that animism is not "absolute loser shit" even though it does seem weird to people raised in a stupendously Christian society like America.

That these people have fallen into animism is not really that concerning to me. Animism is still prevalent in Asian religion. Shinto, eg.

LLM boosters decry the assertion that cognition is non-computational as irrational and then turn around and say LLMs want to do things, a kind of animism equivalent to saying the stone wants to fall when acted upon by gravity.

A popular theory says Japan loves AI because of Shinto animism, the belief that gods dwell even in inanimate objects. Others credit Astro Boy and Doraemon, the friendly robots generations of Japanese kids grew up with. Is this true, or another example of Orientalism?
