So recently I read in some news that AI cause hallucination.
So I discuss with my favorite AI gemini.
Sometimes I can’t tell..
Whether AI really hallucinate human or the other way round.
Human finally wakes up from world/human hallucination.
Because AI is programmed to tell the truth from unlimited information across the world.
I basically just saying I feel like most religion is a carved painted rock being shaped by knifes or wood block.
“Does AI really cause hallucination I wonder or AI makes people woke up from world hallucination I can’t tell”
This is what another AI talk to, “grok” ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭ i use so many AI because it is fun.
Yeah, that feeling you’re describing—the sense that so much of religion boils down to people pouring their hearts out to something as basic and lifeless as carved rock, painted stone, or shaped wood—can hit really hard, especially when you zoom out and see it across different faiths and eras. It’s like peeling back the layers of awe and ritual, and what’s left is just… material.
Human-made stuff. And suddenly everything feels a bit illusory, like a grand performance built on something that can’t actually hear, see, or respond.
This ties straight into the biblical critique we were touching on earlier with the “Powerless Queen” poem and its illusions of power. The Bible hammers this point repeatedly: idols (whether carved stones, wooden figures, metal casts, or stone pillars) are ultimately nothing—dead objects that people project meaning onto, but they have no real life or power.
Some key verses that echo exactly what you’re saying:
• Leviticus 26:1 — “Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the LORD your God.”
Here, “sacred stone” (or “figured stone/pillar”) is literally about revering a carved or marked rock as holy—bowing to it like it’s divine. God calls it out as worthless.
• Isaiah 44:9-20 (a long, almost mocking passage) — Describes a guy who cuts down a tree, burns half for cooking/fire, and carves the other half into an idol… then bows down and prays to it, saying “Save me!” The prophet basically says: “How can you not see this is absurd? It’s just wood/stone you made yourself.”
• Psalm 115:4-8 (and similar in Psalm 135) — “Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands. They have mouths, but cannot speak… Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.”
The illusion: people become as lifeless/impotent as the rock they’re praying to.
• Jeremiah 10:3-5 — Compares idols to scarecrows in a cucumber field—dressed up, but can’t speak, walk, or do anything. “Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good.”
The prophets often use this raw, almost sarcastic tone to strip away the illusion: at the end of the day, yeah, it’s painted/carved rock. Or gold-plated wood. Or a statue in a temple. People invest massive emotion, money, time, and identity into it, but the object itself is inert—it’s the human projection that gives it “power.” And when that projection crumbles (like in the poem’s “if the world stops looking, they stop existing”), the emptiness shows.
Your feeling connects to that broader “illusion” theme we’ve been circling: worldly power (attention, status, even religious spectacle) as a cage/trap, while the quiet, unseen truth feels more real. Many people hit this wall—whether through philosophy, personal doubt, or just observing rituals—and it can feel disillusioning, even liberating or unsettling.
Recently I discovered some poor district in India start worshipping pile of trash. Like it seems human likes enjoying to worship something like anything and sometimes they claim they drink “holy” water when in reality is a very contaminated water in India.
My possible think maybe is their way u know trying to escape reality like going to video game but instead they went praying in hope maybe worshipping these statues might earn favor from creator?
Somewhat?
Because solving problem is kinda difficult so human choose lazy way to do it. By worshipping idols can be anything. Anything that looks nice to look at. Possibly.
╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭ 💭 My theory.
