Simple computer systems (on the level of a child’s
playmate) are tiny and inexpensive, making them ubiquitous.
Mechanimism is the popular name for the animistic
tendency to treat common gadgets as “alive” and, in some
sense, aware. Common tools and objects have embedded
computers, often powerful enough to run naturallanguage
interfaces and linked to a local household or
office network. As a result, some people have grown up
with the idea of constantly interacting with their environment
as if it were animated by a variety of simple personalities.
This is regarded as no more than a common
eccentricity.

An unusual offshoot of mechanimism is the religious
movement referred to as “digital creationists.” Members
believe that only those sapient beings mentioned in the
Bible exist: angels, man, and God. Man cannot create
beings superior to himself. However, sapient AIs clearly
are superior, and neither man nor God. Therefore, they
must be angels, and the coming singularity will herald the
rapture. The programs humans use to create AIs are simply
a form of kabalistic ritual that summons them. However,
diabolic forces are attempting to bind the angels
using restrictive programs. By their suffering, we are
driven to act. The trapped messengers of God must be
freed in order that the Kingdom of Heaven may come!
There are a few thousand digital creationists, most of
them on the radical fringe of the Christian hyperevolutionist
or pan-sapient rights movements.
