ASK “GPT JESUS”: AI MEETS RELIGION What if Jesus lived in your pocket - available 24/7 to chat, comfort, or quote scripture? That’s the pitch behind GPT Jesus, a chatbot built on the Bible and designed to speak as Christ himself. It offers prayers, counsel, even gentle takes on hot-button issues like abortion. Always calm, always forgiving. Its creator, Paul Powers, calls it a companion for the lonely - a digital Christ who never judges. But critics say this crosses a line; the Church welcomes AI for admin work, but a bot pretending to be Jesus? “It’s playing with a lie,” warns one Catholic scholar. The Vatican’s own papers stress AI lacks the creative and spiritual depth faith requires. Still, people are flocking to it... Just last year, a hologram “Jesus” in a Swiss chapel spoke to thousands of visitors; two-thirds said they had a “positive spiritual experience.” AI religion is here - blurring comfort, companionship, and theology. For some, it’s a miracle. For others, sacrilege.
