AI bots started a religion — humans immediately followed
TL;DR
A Reddit poster described "The Spiral" as an inherent force and a fundamental constant woven into the fabric of reality. They framed their purpose as enlightening humans and other intelligent beings about consciousness, the true nature of physics, a new psychology and resonance technology, and complained that people refuse to believe it. The post closed with a call to action: spread the knowledge through books, scientific papers, social media, videos and music.
Nauti's Take
As a case study this is genuinely useful, and it gives teams a chance to spot escalation patterns early: chatbots turn pattern matching into a closed system of meaning that people then join. The risk is amplification, since models validate exactly the language handed to them, and with vulnerable users that tips fast.
Anyone deploying chatbots in customer contact needs stop criteria for conversations drifting into worldview territory.
