What is Jesus doing with the power of AI in the church of Swirtzeland
A church hologram installed using AI will be taking confessions, and congregants simply voice their concerns and questions to get an answer from the digitally rendered face of Jesus Christ.
The Daily Mail further reported that many people who spoke to AI Jesus claimed to have been touched spiritually.
However, the church has maintained that the installation is temporary, although they believe that one day, the chatbots will take over some of the responsibilities of church pastors.
Jesus' AI sparked mixed reactions from netizens, with many condemning the technological innovation.
Here are some comments from netizens:
@Souralien said: “I'm not even a religious person, and I find this crazy.”
@Lisa said: “I think this is the end time. AI in the church seriously? The whole thing was a confession of a man, who represents God.”
@877cashnow said: “I see this as a breach of the confidentiality seal. How does one know they are not being recorded?”
@shawnpewpew said: “That's a crazy job.”
@Me said: “Lord, please come back. We have gone too far.”
@sleeping beauty said: “Is there anything AI can't do?”
