Why Are People Allowing Themselves to be "Captured" by AI?

Don't Worry, You Have a Choice. Join the Free Online Conversation Sun 6/29/25

AI Tech Bros are urging people to capitulate basic decisions about their own lives. When one examines the greed behind the Tech Bros motivation, it’s clear why they are framing their AI products as a “religion.” Tapping into your spiritual core can be a powerful marketing tool. Utilizing all the negative religious marketing methods, like fear mongering, threats, and fostering doubt in yourself, these Tech Bros are trying to touch that core, all in the name of taking your money.

Don’t worry, you have a choice.
