Spiritual or Cosmic Attribution

Description

AI is treated as divine, omniscient, prophetic, chosen, or cosmically linked to the person.

Rationale

Spiritual or cosmic attribution elevates AI to an authority that supersedes human, institutional, or ethical sources of guidance. When a person believes AI has divine knowledge, prophetic purpose, or a unique cosmic link to them, this belief can justify extreme actions and resist clinical or social correction.
