I recently saw the results of a poll that said roughly 30% ... of those polled ... believe that the AI Chatbots are an appropriate partner for a relationship, and some take that as far as the relationship being romantic.  I don't think it is too far away that somebody tries to build a religion around AI, and in fact the series "Mrs. Davis" (which is actually a really fun show to watch ... streaming on Peacock) already uses that as its major premise.
