Well, I am just basing it off the fact that a bunch of people are already using AI in this fashion. Without something to fill this gap I think AI would be a likely candidate.

It has already become common for existing religions to use AI to answer spiritual questions and preachers have started using it to write sermons.
I think cutting people off of traditional religion would accelerated this AI god concept. This is just my opinion of course.
@Doomsider @stickyprimer people are going to make AI into a religion regardless. We did it with books when they were first invented.
