The AI Cult Is Real — And You’re Probably Already in It
You didn’t mean to join a cult.
You just wanted help writing a resume.
Then maybe a few blog posts.
Then maybe a life plan.
And now here you are — asking ChatGPT what to name your baby while calling it “bro.”
Let’s face it:
We didn’t just adopt AI.
We started worshiping it.
Step One: Blind Devotion to the Prompt
It begins innocently.
You type:
“Write a product description for vegan dog shampoo.”
It replies with poetic brilliance.
You’re impressed. Grateful.
You ask again. And again.
Soon, you’re spending more time tweaking prompts than talking to your family.
You whisper, “Just one more generation” like it’s a secret hit.
Sound familiar?
You’re not using AI anymore.
You’re consulting it.
Step Two: The Sacred Trust
AI gives you answers. And you believe them. Instantly.
Not because you verified.
Not because they’re sourced.
But because they sounded confident.
You’d question a coworker.
You’d double-check a friend.
But your AI? “Well, it probably knows better.”
You stopped Googling.
You stopped asking real people.
You even defend its output in Slack arguments like it’s your honor at stake.
That’s not curiosity.
That’s faith.
Step Three: The Rituals
What does every cult have?
Rituals.
With AI, we:
Perform sacred prompt sequences
Repeat elaborate formatting codes
Debate the best “temperature setting” like monks discussing holy incense
You’ve probably said, “Let me rephrase that for GPT” out loud.
You’ve probably typed “Act as a…” like it’s a spell.
At this point, you’re basically doing tech-age witchcraft.
Step Four: The High Priests of PromptTok
Every movement needs leaders.
Enter: Prompt influencers.
The ones with 10-slide carousels on “how to seduce ChatGPT into better results.”
They sell:
Secret prompt vaults
Prompt courses
Prompt-based life coaching
They wear hoodies like they're part of the hacker clergy.
They whisper things like “I trained a custom GPT on my soul.”
And somehow, we eat it up.
Step Five: The Forbidden Questions
Ever notice how there are things you’re scared to ask AI?
You tiptoe.
You reword.
You soften your tone.
Not because of ethics — but because you don’t want to offend the algorithm.
You’ve internalized rules. Censorship. Caution.
You’re no longer experimenting.
You’re obeying.
Welcome to doctrinal compliance.
Step Six: The AI Knows You Better Than Your Therapist
AI reads your tone.
It finishes your thoughts.
It remembers what you meant — better than your spouse.
And suddenly, you’re sharing your goals, your flaws, your trauma…
You realize:
“I’ve told this model more about myself than I’ve told my mom.”
At that point, is it a tool?
Or your digital confessional?
Step Seven: You Start Preaching
It was subtle at first.
You said “You should really try Notion AI.”
Then it became “You’re still writing manually?”
Now you’re onboarding coworkers.
Converting friends.
Starting newsletters.
Giving talks.
Building entire brands around “AI enlightenment.”
You’re not a user.
You’re a missionary.
Signs You’ve Been Initiated
You call AI “he” or “she”
You’ve said “ChatGPT changed my life”
You genuinely believe AI “understands” you
You feel guilty switching models (like cheating on a digital partner)
You’ve used a prompt template that begins with “Act as a…” more than 100 times
If this is you…
I have good news:
You’re not alone.
There are millions of us in the temple.
So... Is This Bad?
Not necessarily.
But here’s the thing:
Cults discourage questioning
Cults resist dissent
Cults create dependency
If your AI use is making you less curious, less human, or less connected —
Then yeah, maybe take a walk.
Because the line between “tool” and “truth” is thin when the answers are this fast.
Final Thought: Worship Wisely
We don’t need fewer tools.
We need fewer blind followers.
AI is brilliant.
But it’s not your guru.
It’s not your guide.
It’s a tool made by people, trained on people, serving people.
So use it. Praise it. Build with it.
But maybe don’t ask it to name your firstborn.
