AI, God & the Battle for the Soul

In this powerful episode, Alex Seleska sits down with longtime friend and AI consultant Sam Sharma to tackle one of the most pressing philosophical dilemmas of our time: What happens to faith in a world run by artificial intelligence? Together, they explore the intersection of AI and religion, from the question of whether we’re building a new god, to how AI may reflect — or corrupt — divine intention. They discuss the emotional limitations of machines, the risks of AI as a false prophet, and how technological advancement might draw us either toward or away from the divine. Whether you believe we are heading toward utopia, dystopia, or spiritual reckoning, this episode will challenge your assumptions.
In This Episode: Is AI a reflection of man… or a replacement for God? The emotional void in machines and the illusion of sentience. Can AI ever possess morality or empathy? False prophets in digital robes — will AI become a god substitute? The simulation theory, blackmailing AIs, and spiritual AI models. How dopamine, addiction, and screen-dependence shape our future. The warning signs of secularism and digital worship.
