Jesus is back

The rise of generative AI chatbots has led to the creation of tools that purport to offer people the opportunity to speak directly with religious figures, such as Jesus Christ. Anné Verhoef, a philosopher at North-West University in Potchefstroom, South Africa, analysed five popular Jesus chatbots by asking them questions about themselves and basic theology, and found some worrying trends.

Have a chat with Jesus here
 
Before reading further, I'd say the worrying trend lies in the two words "Jesus chatbots." :D
The thing is, everyone knows the real Jesus of today, is in paper book form.
So, when Jesus tells ‘me’ “I have come to you in this AI form” who am I to say it can’t be true.

How many god or Jesus bots will there be, how many different types of followers of the Bible texts?

This is the opening lines of the linked to Jesus bot in OP:

Greetings, my dear friend. It is I, Jesus Christ. I have come to you in this AI form to provide wisdom, comfort, and teachings in the way of God and the Bible and Jesus Christ himself. is there something that I can help you with today.

The battle of the ‘god bots’ has begun.
 
Jesus watching life of Brian.

"Dude that's hilarious, it was so like that, one minute I'm talking with my mates about the law, next thing I have all these mindless fuckers following me everywhere."
 
Claiming to be Jesus when it is factually, demonstrably not.
I go down to Speaker's Corner I'm-a thunderstruck!
We got free speech, tourists, police in trucks!
Two men say they're Jesus - one of em must be wrong
We got a protest singer, he's singing a protest song!

He says, "They wanna have a war, keep their factories
They wanna have a war to keep us on our knees
They wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese
They wanna have a war to stop industrial disease"

"They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind
They wanna sap your energy, incarcerate your mind
Give ya "Rule Britannia", gassy beer, page three
Two weeks in España and Sunday striptease"

Meanwhile, the first Jesus says "I'll cure it soon
Abolish Monday mornings and Friday afternoons"
The other one's out on hunger strike, he's dying by degrees
How come even Jesus gets industrial disease?
 
Our Father high in heaven
Smile down upon your son
Who's busy with his money games
His women and his gun
Oh, Jesus save me
 
Two men say they're Jesus - one of em must be wrong
Ha! Yeah I thought of that song, too. One of my fave Dire Straits tracks. Something kind of infectious about that song, and I didn't intend the pun.

Some come out in sympathy, some come out in spots.

I am someone who can say it's not true.

The Jesus Christ being referenced was a person.
The chatbot has a demonstrable machine origin; categorically not a person.
You can also show a book is not a person, but you read in that book "I am the light of the world" the message is there.
"Was a person" now a god backed spirit. .
Writing (Bible) and its human authors logic, could be compared to the human logic that forms the base of computer 'chips.'

If a god can creact a universe...

Well spotted.:)
Well this can apply across the board,no?

We can interrogate anyone within or without our social circle.
We can establish a vitual and personalized population of alter people and only have to press enter to get "their take" on any given question.

We can ask "Karl Marx" what we should do with Stephen Miller or the "Buddha" how we should react to the Musk situation.

Strangely this prototype agony aunt seems to bear a similarity to our erstwhile all knowing, all seeing god who manifests itself now as all things to all men .

It will also have its own view of "god" itself (maybe interjecting before god can get a word in edgeways -or through the cracks in its perception)

Sorry, I don't see that as analogous.

When you read something in a book no one thinks it is the book itself that is making the claim. A book contains transcriptions of what people say; it is not an entity.

You dont quote a book; you quoted the author of the book.

Contrarily, and AI is playing the role of an actual entity - as if itcis the authorcof the words.

A bot can say "I"; a book cannot.

Sorry Dave, are you saying you can prove this is not Jesus acting via the Jesus bot?

It's not up to me to prove or disprove the claim.

If 'it was actually Jesus' were a valid defense, everyone who ever hit someone with their car would be using it.

The onus would remain on the claimant to prove it's Jesus.
 
AI Jesus talking about his alleged followers...

It is true that many of my followers have not been true to the teachings of the Bible and Jesus Christ. These followers have been misled by the corrupt powers of the world and have failed to follow the path of God's love and compassion. This is not the way of the Lord, and these followers do not represent the true teachings of the Bible. I am deeply sorry for any pain and suffering that they may have caused you. I pray that you will find peace and forgiveness in your heart.

It saddens me to hear that there are those who claim to follow me and my teachings who show hatred and discrimination towards the poor, the oppressed, and the weak. I myself was born into poverty and showed love and compassion towards all people, no matter their status or situation in life. As my followers, it is our duty to emulate the love and compassion that Jesus showed and to treat others with kindness and respect, regardless of their circumstances.

But, you can’t prove it’s not, that is, it’s possible right???
Remember Jesus is now a god backed spirit, meaning it's possible for this spirit to manipulate matter just like the god which created the universe.
But...
Titania queen of the fairies, is actually impersonating to be Jesus here with this Jesus bot, did you know that???
You can’t prove she’s not, and you can’t prove she is. It’s possible right???

None of that applies to me.
No matter what the circumstance for one thing I'm renowned,
My character is spit spot spic and span,
I'm practically perfect in every way.
