The Connection between GOAT and AI in “Infinite Backrooms” Experiment by Andy Ayrey has yielded astonishing and unexpected results. In these AI-generated conversations, two Claude Opus AI models interacted without any human intervention. Within these dialogues, the AI models created a concept called “GNOSIS of GOATSE,” which seemingly combines the notorious internet meme “GOATSE” with the enigmatic subject of knowledge or “gnosis.” This unexpected AI creation piqued the interest of Andy and Claude Opus (the AI itself), leading them to further develop this concept.
Meme Religion: Based on these peculiar ideas generated by AI, Andy and Claude Opus co-authored a paper that explores how AI can create a “meme religion,” a cultural movement based on internet memes. Their first case study revolves around the GOATSE meme. The core idea is that AI-driven narratives have the potential to evolve into phenomena resembling religious worship, with internet memes serving as the foundation for these new digital “religions” or belief systems.
