Though I'm sure many will recoil in horror, it makes perfect sense. Modern language models are typically knowledgeable and non-judgemental, especially if you have a question which you fear reprisal from whomever else you might confide in or ask.

Given the concreteness of the output they provide, I'll be quite surprised if there aren't people out and out worshiping language models before the decade is out.
