  • An avatar of "Jesus" on a computer screen
  • tucked into a confessional
  • took questions by visitors on faith, morality and modern-day woes, and offered responses based on Scripture.

The article from WLWT discusses an AI-generated avatar of Jesus, created by a company called The Singularity Group, which has sparked a mix of fascination and skepticism among viewers. This AI Jesus, designed to provide spiritual guidance and answer questions about faith, has led to a unique intersection of technology and religion. The avatar, which uses advanced AI to mimic human conversation, has prompted individuals like Anthony, a devout Christian, to question the authenticity and implications of such technology in spiritual contexts. While some see it as an innovative tool for spreading religious teachings, others, including Anthony, grapple with the idea of machines interpreting and disseminating divine messages, challenging their faith in both machines and the divine. The AI Jesus has thus become a focal point for discussions on the role of AI in personal faith and the potential for technology to either enhance or disrupt traditional religious practices.
