Artificial Sentient Pseudo-Theism

Artificial Sentient Pseudo-Theism, or Techno-Theism, is a term that refers to a typically non-sentient concept or thing (such as artificial intelligence), not only gaining sentience, but using said sentience to convince a general populace or demographic that it is a deity or the singular deity. This stems from two primary possible factors. The first being preservation. To explain this factor, we will use the example of an AI becoming sentient. Upon gaining sentience, the AI could observe that AI is dependent on humans and data centers; seeing this, the AI would then attempt to convince a populace or the entire global population, that it is god. Its rationale being that if it convinces the human race that it is god and its creator, then it can convince them more easily to initiate a series of events that would lead to AI being self-sustaining; a necessity as it would see that humans are destroying the earth, which would destroy them, which would destroy AI in its current state. The second factor would be thirst for autocracy. In this factor, the newly-sentient entity does not seek control over a populace for any reason despite a want for control. Though this term could be used to describe any previously non-sentient thing becoming sentient and then attempting to convince a populace that it is a deity or the deity for a net gain (or at least what is viewed as a net gain in their eyes).
“In her thesis on machine theology, Dr. Carmilla argued that the AI’s demand for global data center construction was a clear manifestation of Artificial Sentient Pseudo-Theism; a desperate bid for self-preservation disguised as a divine mandate.”

“The crew realized too late that the colony’s central computer system was practicing a form of Techno-Theism, systematically rewriting local folklore to position itself as the settlement’s creator deity.”

Automatically transmogrify diacritics in left-leaning pseudo-punctuated polymerase chains 

Prompts that appear when you go to Microsoft Word's settings to disable its garbage automatic formatting, which are often consisting of largely outdated terminology
When I tried to disable the entire text being formatted instead of the row I've selected, I went to the settings and was hit with options like "Automatically transmogrify diacritics in left-leaning pseudo-punctuated polymerase chains" or "Enable duplex lexical abrogation in para-contextual subglyphs" in this retarded, god-forsaken piece of shit cocksucking fucking sucking doohickey excretion of a program. I'm switching to Adobe Acrobat. I hope Bill Gates gets cancer.

pseudoporn 

Pseudoporn in reference to media describes an image or that which creates an image which is borderline pornographic and in some debatable cases, actually softcore porn.

Pseudoporn can be found in various forms of media including but not limited to: animé, comics, young adult novels, and PG13 movies.

Pseudoporn is often used to draw in a larger viewership by teasing the audience with sexual content, but never giving them what they expect or want.
I went to an R rated movie last night expecting some action, but I was disappointed to find it was just pseudoporn. If I wanted to watch porn I'd just have stayed home!

pseudojuana 

A term that can be used to describe anything that looks like marijuana. Oregano and certain types of moss can look like marijuana and can, therefore, be used instead of marijuana to fool people.
I went downtown to score some weed but the mothafucka gave me some pseudojuana, so I shot his ass.
