I actually sort of love it. It's so so similar to "theurgy", a topic that greek philosophers expended millions of words on, completely uselessly. Just endless explanations of how exactly to use ritual and sacrifices to get gods to answer your prayers more effectively.
I actually sort of think that revisiting greek ideas about universal mind is actually sort of relevant when thinking about these gigantic models, because we actually have constructed a universal shared intelligence. Everyone's copy of chatgpt is exactly the same, but we only ever see our own facets of it.
