AI Pastor

I'm assuming this is satire because the site doesn't actually share any AI-generated spiritual guidance. If you click the "Get Started" button it shows a pop-up that says "coming soon."

On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if AI could provide online spiritual help on a par with flesh-and-blood pastors.

If you are a cynic about religion, this is just what you expect. If you are a believer, run away as fast as you can.

I read this not as "AI Pastor" but as "AL Pastor" and was thinking of some excellent tacos...growth but not the spiritual kind.

It can´t be any worse than the real thing.

This'll be a great help to the kind of pastor who's like an AI to begin with.

Churches have a long history of shielding rebels and supporting revolutionaries. The Robot Overlords are trying an end-run to prevent rebellions by co-opting the church first.

This would have been like talking to The Lord Himself if it wasn't for the teeny tiny detail of "AI is programmed by people, most of them white men".

...yeah. I'm actually a Christian. I'm not commenting on either this, or your reactions to this. He wouldn't like me to.
