  • If you interpret God as the source and giver of money, it already is.

    My definition is a bit more philosophical.

  • If experience is any indication, some people would worship it regardless if it was artificial or not.

    Some seem to already be doing so, especially the ones whose prayers are being answered :)

  • If you mean an extremely smart AI which can do anything then no. By Far AI can only do things it was trained on. They can't have any "intuition" for anything (related to science and stuff) which is REQUIRED if you want to create "God"

  • No matter how smart AI gets, it's still a product of the physical universe and thus bound to physical laws and limits. It cannot be infinitely intelligent, it cannot be all-powerful, it cannot transcend physical reality. It cannot be considered a god in any sense that humanity has ever defined such a being.

    All AI can ever be, and should ever be considered to be, is really smart software. A tool. A thing that serves humans. Not a god, which by definition is a being that humans serve.
