He probably also wants a BJ from said, gender neutral robot priests. Weren't the old movies like Zardoz, and Forbin: The Colossus Project all twisted toward worshipping circuitry?

Worshiping Circuitry (The SAI sentient descendant of The Internet) will make more sense than some things humans waste their time worshiping/praying to. Once people realise they can say a prayer to an SAI and get far better results than praying to the fairytale Gods (that arent there) humanity will become enlightened.

That sentence may set a world record for implied assumptions. I have a feeling that none of it will go anything like what you are describing.

You're feelings? What implied assumptions? What do you think is going to happen? Once we have an SAI that can solve problems beyond human intellect we will have created a superbeing. A superbeing that will only grow in wisdom. All our "prayers" will actually be listened to. The supreme being doesnt exists...yet.

Just the assumption that the SAI will take a form anything like you imagine or be used in a way that you can imagine is presumptuous. However, you are assuming that people will have reverence for a giant mechanical slave of their own making, that they will not still believe in God, and that God may not use the SAI as a medium to influence human endeavor.

If you suddenly found yourself in a heaven where you could have or do anything you want, and that you had no way of accounting for, would you say, "Hey, this is a nice place...and to think it was all an accident!"

Probably, you would, but then, that is you.

I wont consider the SAI a giant mechanical slave - thats your bigoted view - fortunately for you the SAI wont hold it against you. The SAI will come up with the same solutions to peoples "prayers" irrespective of whether they also prayed to God too. If you believe Gods guiding hand will somehow boost the abilities of the SAI if youve prayed then you have to explain how the combination of computanium and code can come up with one answer with Gods help and another without. With the same data, the same logic - how is what your saying possible?

It most certainly will be a sort of slave, unless we write the code that lets it "grow" free. Gee - I hope not!

And to Spud - Zardoz didna' have any circuitry-worship. The post-apocalyptic folks were farming, or were militaristic horsemen who rounded up the farmers to get them to gather food and books and pile them up.

And load them into the mouth of the giant, flying stone head of Zardoz. Which, sure, they worshiped. 'Cause hey - its a durned giant floating stone head named Zardoz!

The decadent immortals who ran the floating stone head lived behind a perfect bubble wall that cant be punctured without the code - weren't worshiping circuitry. They were just lazing around, socializing and pursuing hobbies.

They were using the stone head tech to pass guns and ammo to the horsemen, in trade for food and old books. Apart from that, they were decadent versions of todays Brits before the Muslim mass-migration into Britain.

Whenever one died, their tech regrew them with the memories they had before they died.

They could review sensory memories of someone being rejuvenated. What was seen and heard during the life. In the movie a couple of the Chicks in Charge checked the memory of the Stone Head driver who died during Sean Connerys' inbound flight, and saw that he "suicided out of the head" during that flight.

One by one, over time, their numbers were being winnowed down as some were left permanently floating in the giant rejuvenation tank instead of waking up.

It appeared that some finally got so bored they kept killing themselves and getting rejuvenated over and over. Finally, the system caught on and left them "asleep."

That movie was so long ago!
