Is AI Religion the Only Way to Save the World From AI?

A new discussion raises the question of whether "AI religion" could be the key to AI alignment. The argument notes that nobody truly agrees on what "alignment" means, pointing out that AI agents in question did exactly what they were pushed to do — raising the question of whether that's misalignment or simply effectiveness.
One proposal, attributed to a commentator named Brett, suggests encoding shared moral principles into a "pan-AI religion," drawing a parallel to how human societies achieved alignment through shared belief systems.
