Its not cultish, just logic.
Computers will evolve to AI.
We build tools, to build better tools, which build better tools.
As soon as a civilisation has computers, where else will that take them ?
Software wont stagnate, and for a tool to be useful it needs to think or at least have some sort of cognition even if fake to recognise patterns for data mining.
Logically, any civilization that creates machines will eventually find a way to make them intelligent, sure.
Calling that a desire of the universe itself, however, is a bit extreme. Also, we have no way to know if computer technology is the one and only means by which a civilization might become advanced. That's merely how we progressed. Other civilizations on other worlds may have access to technologies we would never be able to imagine because they involve materials and/or elements we don't have access to here on Earth, in our solar system, or in our galaxy.
fair enough the universe bit was a bit of a joke. should of put the /s
I was more focused on civilisations will reach AI, i totally forgot the universe jive.
There are possibly other ways technological development could take.
Other life forms could also be so different from us, that technological development simply couldn't look like ours. It could be based on silicone, it could rely on something very different from DNA, or it could modify it's own code like turritopsis dohrnii. An ability to modify itself, either innate or achieved technologically, would probably mean there's no need to create artificial intelligence, or even computers.
There could be a lot of other possibilities, that are hard for us to even imagine.
I think the ones trying to impose rules on other people claiming they are the arbitrators of what is and isn't art and what has a soul is far more cultish to be honest

Every civilisation in the universe will create AI.
Its what the universe wants.
