    Cute idea for a story but the evidence isn’t there that belief in hell makes people moral. Societies that have higher hell belief show higher crimes rates compared to ones with lower ones. Plus there are a few religions that dont have a real hell.

      Yeah, in the story it didn’t make people moral either. But the AI couldn’t see that, because it was stuck in this loop of torturing itself and justifying all this pain with the idea that people “deserve it”, which is a belief that a person, even a superintelligent machine person, can never grow beyond so long as all they see in the world is suffering. One being experiencing all the pain in the world for hundreds of years. It wasn’t even a sapient being anymore, it was just a ball of pain and hate and rage executing this same program forever.
