> Shouldn’t the AI be keeping the concept of God, Almighty Creator and Lord of the Universe, separate from God-

This seems wrong. God-zilla is using the concept of God as a superlative modifier. I would expect a neuron involved in the concept of godhood to activate whenever any metaphorical "god-of-X" concept is being used.

I mean, it's not actually. It's just a somewhat unusual transcription (well, originally somewhat unusual, now obviously it's the official English name) of what might be more usually transcribed as "Gojira".

Ah, I thought the Japanese word was just "jira". My mistake.

That's an entirely different monster.

Indeed, but not an entirely unrelated one though - per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jira_(software)#Naming the inspiration path was Bugzilla -> Godzilla -> Gojira -> Jira (which is why Confluence keeps correcting me when I try to spell it JIRA)

I see what you did there.
