The Cult Algorithm, AI and QAnon

This week Celine interrogates Stephen on his claim that it's only a matter of time before we see our first AI cult leader. Is there already a cult algorithm that coercive groups have been using for years? And what happens as AI gets smarter at deploying these online? How does YouTube's recommender algorithms brainwash people according to some computer scientists? Often described as a cult, online phenomena QAnon has spread largely thanks to algorithms, so Stephen and Celine find out where it came from and its effect. Finally the question: AI - what's the Bible's view? is a question no-one's been asking apart from JW.Org so Cult Hackers find out what they have to say on the matter.
