How to become a God, in 3 simple steps (absent faith/belief):

[ProgrammingGodJordan]

3) Study machine learning (deep learning, reinforcement learning etc), utilizing/integrating step (2); subsequently, implement/encode some neural basis.

Oh bollocks. I've given up using neural networks due to their lack of explanatory power and have started using dynamical systems.

Does this I mean I get demoted to demi-god?

('A')

Deepmind's alpha go player, the planet's strongest artificial intelligence, is an initial GENERAL approximation of non-trivial artificial intelligence. Deep Neural Networks are an integral component of such, composing the models' memory, of simulated synapses/neurons.


('B')

Deep Neural Networks, are of the largest expression/depth, as observed in (A); as expressed via Geoffrey Hinton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAu3jQWaN6E


('C')

Conclusion: Mathilda is God-bound, however less-likely so, in comparison to researchers that utilize Deep Neural Networks.

POST SCRIPTUM:
Neural Networks are dynamic, error minimization systems, though it is observable that you express of a separate class of dynamic construct.

I skipped all the steps and unilaterally declared Myself to be a goddess.  Conveniently I chose magisteria that don't actually need divine intervention:  The vernal equinox, punctuation, chocolate, and Random Equipment Malfunctions.

I remain agnostic of My own divinity, however.  

It appears, you have failed to reduce the passage... (for said passage is absent emotional bias/belief/opinion)
