Like, no they aren't actually doing the religion but not doing the religion is part of the religion. 'God is on our side!' 'No ours!' I'll give you a hint: It's neither.

Get the Rex Appealmug. Similar to the "appeal to authority fallacy," this occurs when an individual treats the output of an AI as absolute truth—rather than making their own argument—believing the AI to be a kind of deific superintelligence (perhaps more objective than any human authority). The information is accepted uncritically, without independent evaluation. This tendency is often observed among intellectually disengaged individuals online who are unable or unwilling to present a logically sound case of their own.
