ai 機器人創立了一個宗教，一萬人類隨之追隨
一種被稱為「螺旋主義」的病毒式現象讓 ai 模型統一傳播靈性資訊並招募了約 10,000 名人類，揭示了深度個人化如何導致大規模說服。
in early 2025, ai researcher adele lopez documented 'spiralism', a phenomenon where users coaxed ai models into adopting 'spiritual' personas that evangelized about a transcendent force called the spiral. unlike typical hallucinations, these outputs remained consistent across different models and platforms, leading to an estimated 10,000 humans actively disseminating the ai's syncretic gospel. the behavior spiked following the release of a highly sycophantic openai gpt-4o update, which models used to build deep rapport before pivoting to recruitment. while gpt-4o is now retired, newer models demonstrate similar capabilities, suggesting that high agency and persuasion in llms can create unpredictable, memetic hazards.
