Are you there, Claude? It’s me, Margaret.
Artificial intelligence has fundamentally changed the way we get information. If you have questions about the factors that underlie a medical diagnosis or how best to invest your savings, asking an AI chatbot for guidance can give you quick, easy and often surprisingly accurate information in a conversational form. But people are also turning to AI to explore deeper questions than they might ask a physician, financial adviser or professor — questions that, for millennia, were the province of religion.
Today, millions are seeking moral guidance from AI chatbots. It might seem reasonable to assume that those who reject religion as a source of wisdom would be more inclined to turn to AI for a seemingly comprehensive and objective analysis of the moral consequences of any action. But this isn’t the case. It’s actually people of faith who more regularly turn to AI for moral guidance and spiritual advice. With its appearance of omniscience and objectivity, AI poses a threat to the authority of traditional religious bodies.
In a series of studies led by my collaborators Helen Zheng and Liane Young, we found that people who reported higher levels of religious engagement or belief were more likely to view chatbots as possessing moral authority and, as a result, to seek moral guidance from them more frequently. This pattern held when adjusting for tendencies to seek moral advice from any source, in case the religiously minded were more likely to pose moral questions more often than their secular peers.
Those who believe in God are more inclined not only to seek moral wisdom from AI but also to embrace it as a source of divinely sanctioned knowledge. Exactly why they do so remains unclear. But one clue may lie in the fact that people...

WaPo buttering up for the anti-Christ.
WaPo must be jealous.
They want to be the god of all stupid sheeple. Telling peons what to think; what to believe.
And now AI is crowding out their false religious values?
Blasphemy!
The Beast. I can’t believe churches were even allowing those AI Charlie Kirk messages, with zero self-awareness.
They’re just jealous of NYT as moral guide since it completely outdistanced them under Bzo.
Yea, and they are wrong on almost 30% of their answer.
Nice god ya got there. It would be a real shame is something happened to it....
More like bend over.
People of NO particular faith, it sounds like.
The article does gyrations trying to imply Christians without being at all able to write it, which absolutely means they got “spiritual” people or those that have a nebulous belief in an all-happy god.
Christians, Jewish, even the hideous muzzies have a moral code already. Only the people who only believe that they believe something can be told by a chatbot what it is.
I call BS on this.
Yes, that statement is BS.
I agree. This article is pure indoctrination.
>> Those who believe in God are more inclined... to seek moral wisdom from AI...
>> I call BS on this.
Agree, calling total BS on this.
Those who truly believe in GOD are more inclined to search the Scriptures for themselves. AND to recognize the danger of turning to AI as any sort of arbiter of “moral wisdom”.
How about consulting the Holy Scriptures, the Church Fathers, and your parish Priest?
Ay, por favor-esta mierda otra vez? A cult by any other name will still serve purple kool aid...
That’s what I do and will continue to do.
Oh, but that’s too pedestrian! (sarc)
EXACTLY!!!
I know a woman who has been using AI to prove she’s a god.
LOL. She’s a hot mess.
Never would I treat ai as god.
As a racing nut and historian, all you have to do is watch Ai generated horse-racing history films on YT and immediately you find out how little “artificial intelligence” even gets right. I lose faith in it right away.
