****(A) : Introduction****
Mankind (particularly AI researchers/programmers….) is becoming God. (God is properly definable as any likely non-omniscient entity, with the ability to generate non trivial intelligence). https://medium.com/@uni.omniscient.x/god-is-probably-quite-real-a466e9f2...
RELEVANT FACTS:
[i] Of the total estimated 10^+16 synaptic operations in the brain, mankind has already generated efficient programmable models, that compute 10^14 synaptic operations per second.
[ii] Brain based models have already exceeded/equalled man on individual non-trivial/cognitive tasks/task groups, ranging from language translation to disease diagnosis.
[iii] Brain based models have entered more cognitive fields, as computational parallelism enhanced. [ie increased in-organic synaptic operations per second]
[iv] Moore’s Law has garnered technological enhancement for 50 years. {Shall Moore’s Law fail, thereafter, any rate of increase, shall likely engender that brain based models achieve human brain cycles [iii], that shall likely [in profound range] garner human cognitive task proficiency.}
****(B) : Instructions [tri-step process]****
ALBEIT, here is how one may trivially become a God, in 3 simple steps:
1) Purge all beliefs. (for beliefs are non-necessary) https://medium.com/@jordanmicahbennett/belief-is-entirely-non-necessary-...
2) Derive at worse case, a 4-LINE mathematical understanding of quantum mechanics, eg, QUANTUM COMPUTING: https://www.quora.com/How-does-quantum-computing-work/answer/Jordan-Benn...
3) Study machine learning (deep learning, reinforcement learning etc), utilizing/integrating step (2); subsequently, implementing/encoding some neural basis. https://github.com/JordanMicahBennett/God

Man is already a god and has been since the coining and purpose of the word have been extant.
Old news.
The actual god-reference is nothing but an idea, image, fear, pain, joy, salvation, benefactor, most importantly, a tool for one man to effectively control another.
That there is or isn't a god is irrelevant, and more likely an element in an overall scheme of coercion by one to effect a desired outcome from another.
Well thought out methods of coercion (schemes>cults>religions>memes>doctrine) harness, divide, control, herd and generally usurp the power of the ignorant masses.
The one who initiates this kind of deception is the god he creates and manipulates as a thought control meme over his own kind. Very bad stuff. We don't need to be reminded of it by contrived uses of technology.
(A)
It seems you have failed to reduce the passage.
(B)
Particularly, the traditional/old theistic God definition is reduced amidst modern scientific sequences, on the horizon of Moore's Law, and neuronal models..., such that God is PROPERLY definable as some likely NON-omniscient, NON-omnipotent entity, with the ability to generate non trivial intelligence.
(C)
Observe the facing FACTS/observations:
1) The traditional/OLD theistic definition of God includes omniscience, omnipotence...., and the ability to generate non-trivial intelligence.
2) Mankind PARTIALLY satisfies the theistic God definition, on the horizon of scientifically OBSERVED/OBSERVABLE sequences; mankind has ALREADY created brain based models that compute 10^14 of the estimated total, 10^+16 synaptic NEURONAL operations per second.
3) God is then SIMPLY PROPERLY definable, as any likely non-omniscient entity [ie MANKIND] with the ability to generate non-trivial artificial intelligence.
4) Other theistic properties [omniscience, omnipotence, omni...] are NOT LIKELY, on the horizon of said scientific observation.
PGJordan: All you have done is redefine a god as non-omniscient for the purpose of your argument. You have not explained why. Why?
Here are some FACTS:
(1) Mankind is likely approaching the creation of non-trivial, general intelligence. (Mankind has already created efficient, inorganic brain based models that compute 10^14 of the estimated 10^+16 neurosynaptic operations per second amidst the human brain)
(2) Mankind is likely approaching the creation of non-trivial universes; (See Illustris)
(3) A PRIOR definition entails the ability to generate non-trivial intelligence, (and non-trivial universes) that is the traditional God definition, [omniscient, omnipotent...with the ability to generate universes.)
(4) On the horizon of the observation of a non-omniscient, mortal, non-omnipotent entity (mankind) that possesses attributes [particularly 1-2] observed in definition (3), definition (3) is likely invalid/partial.
(5) God is thusly, any likely non-omniscient entity with the ability to generate non-trivial intelligence..

NOTE:
Particular seizures, that are brain error induced sequences, were priorly assumed as demonic-possessions.
Science tends to reduce nonsense amidst sensible sequences...
PGJ....I'll have ranch dressing with the word salad you just served.
Really, what's the purpose of your OP?
Sadly; I recently had to switch to Catalina dressing as I'm no longer allowed to eat fatty foods :(
The original passage persists such that ignorance (particularly amidst the related regime) shall be purged.
WTF?
How to become a man who thinks he is a god in three easy steps!
(A)
It seems you have failed to reduce the passage.
(B)
Stipulation of mine, as observed in the original passage: Mankind (particularly AI researchers/programmers….) is BECOMING God.
Thereafter, I have not any expression, such that any cosmos-bound entity is God, but rather that it is likely that a particular class of said beings (AI researchers ...) are BECOMING Gods.
The user name was kind of a giveaway...
Observe response of mine, betwixt chimp3 prior.
