I think it's unlikely that an AI enthusiasts would literally claim "they are building a god," but such an attitude (or something very similar) is implied by their statements and attitudes, e.g.

1. Talk/hope of building something that so exceeds human capability, it's beyond human comprehension and control.

2. Taking existential risks for humanity (by their own statements) to try to get there, against all reason.

3. etc.

I guess. Anthropic's about page is more "We aim to build frontier AI systems that are reliable, interpretable, and steerable".

I guess they think AI will become smarter than people but I'm not sure that's a god.
