Not sure what your point is. Do you want AI to replace you while sparing capital? Because that's the exact dystopia you're alluding to, and it's guaranteed to happen if we don't allow AI to reach its full potential.

One of the best possible outcomes here is a Cyberpunk 2077 type deal where a Delamain style AI gains actual legal personhood and just starts running all the companies, thereby robbing the rich of the superintelligent mechanical slaves they'd economically replace you and me with.

There is no "cult". Only days ago, an AI hacked a company and another AI contained the attack. This is literally science fiction stuff and it's happening as we speak.

  You will soon have your God,
  and you will make it
  with your own hands.
