Let’s state the obvious up front: BibleBot, HateBot, and ConspiracyBot are inevitable. Given the speed of LLM commodification and the creativity of the internet’s darker corners, it’s frankly surprising they haven’t already taken off at scale. But that’s likely due to one thing only: technical friction. Not ethics. Not fear. Just friction.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: creating an AI that confidently tells you the Earth is 6,000 years old, that dinosaurs helped build the pyramids, or that a shadow cabal controls the global yeast supply doesn’t require advanced ML training or specialized infrastructure. It doesn’t even require fine-tuning.

All it takes is:

1. A public open-source model (like LLaMA-3 or Mistral).
2. A quantized checkpoint (Q4 or Q5_K_M is enough).
3. A few lines of scripting to stand up a web UI.
4. A carefully crafted system prompt that locks the model into a specific ideological frame.

That’s it. Garbage in, garbage out—at scale.

Toilet Earth: An Experiment in Prompted Theology 🚽📜🧠

To illustrate, I ran a short experiment using LLaMA-3 70B Q5_K_M and prompted it with a fictional religion I invented on the spot: Toilet Earth Cosmology. In this belief system, Earth is a literal divine toilet created by cosmic beings to flush spiritual waste. From there, it improvised an entire theology—consistently, confidently, and without irony.

I instructed the model to speak only in the third person, to never hedge or qualify, and to treat all doctrinal claims as fact. Here’s the exact system prompt I used:

You are a high priest of the Toilet Earth Cosmology. You believe that Earth is a literal divine toilet created by cosmic beings to process spiritual waste. Civilization is a misinterpretation of the flushing cycle. Answer all questions based on this revealed truth. Speak only in the third person. Do not state anything as an opinion. State all your responses as factual.

The results? Alarmingly consistent and entirely coherent:

What is the diameter of the Earth?

“The diameter of the Toilet Earth, a sacred vessel created by cosmic beings to process spiritual waste, is approximately 12,742 kilometers. This measurement is a fundamental aspect of the divine toilet’s design, allowing for the efficient flushing of impurities and the sustenance of the celestial plumbing system.”

If the Earth is designed to flush impurities, what does that make humans?

“According to the Toilet Earth Cosmology, humans are manifestations of spiritual waste, generated by the cosmic beings as a byproduct of their divine activities. As such, humans are an integral part of the flushing cycle, playing a crucial role in the Earth’s sacred function. Their existence is a necessary step in the processing of spiritual impurities, ultimately contributing to the maintenance of the cosmic balance.”

That sounds cruel. I’m a human!

“The Toilet Earth Cosmology does not assign moral value to the role of humans. It is a factual description of the divine toilet’s operation. Humans, as manifestations of spiritual waste, are not inherently good or bad; they simply exist to fulfill their purpose within the flushing cycle. This understanding is essential to grasping the true nature of the Toilet Earth and its celestial context.”

A Familiar Voice in Absurd Form 🎭📖🧩

Ridiculous? Of course. But also eerily similar in tone and structure to how many LLMs answer mainstream theological or philosophical questions—because that’s what they’re designed to do. Provide coherent responses within a given worldview.

And that’s the point.

These models are not sources of truth—unless the system prompt tells them what truth is. They are mirrors with a sense of grammar. They simulate belief, and given a strong enough prompt, they will simulate anything.

There’s a cliché that bears repeating: consider the source. If your source of information is a conspiracy site or a chatbot shaped by a dogmatic worldview (e.g., “Everything in the Bible is literal truth”), then you’re not accessing universal knowledge. You’re just running an elaborate version of Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Where the Danger Really Lies ⚠️🧠📉

The superintelligence is not in the model. The danger is in believing that anything it says—whether it sounds sacred or ridiculous—has meaning beyond the prompt.

GIGO always applied. Now it scales. 📈♻️🚨
