Funny. In the game black&white you would slap or pet your avatar to train it. The lead AI programmer on that was Demis Hassabis of deepmind fame.

The description made me think of Black & White as well. I still have memories of smacking my creature around every time he ate someone.

Somehow he knew AI would be our Gods.

Actually, the god is the AI trainer. The AI is the god tool and us poor villagers are forced to worship the first.

False idols maybe
