Does thinking about God increase acceptance of artificial intelligence in decision-making?

Abstract

We report our attempts to replicate results by Karataş and Cutright (2023), in which thoughts of God increased people's receptivity to advice from artificially intelligent advisors.We attempt faithful replications of the five online studies from the paper all with larger sample sizes than the originals.We fail to find evidence consistent with the claims of Karataş and Cutright.Our results suggest that if the original effect exists, it is too small to have been detected by the original studies.
