Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
Well, LLMs are usually not thought to be conscious or moral agents in the usual sense. I assume that the religious would be more likely to have trouble with other creatures, depending on the variety of religion in question (but see C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy). If you think, for example, that it was essential that God become human, hence Jesus Christ, well, aliens might be out of luck. But if you just require obedience or something, there seems to be no problem.
Of course, many of the religious do believe in non-human intelligences in the form of angels/demons.
