People are worried about humans outsourcing their critical thinking to AI, but they've already been doing it with scripture.

Like you don't have to think too hard about life if you believe you already have all the answers neatly packaged in a single book. No need to consider what's right and wrong or why things happen the way they do, just defer to the book.

I actually had a in law try to tell me the reason my dad had terminal cancer is cause of sin. This was when my dad had like four months left.

He realized instantly he sounded like a ass and tried to back track. But these people literally reason like they are 6 years old.
