Church uses AI to lead service to over a 300 people

Can AI chatbot preach a better sermon?

AI Reverends Lead a Church Congregation of 300 in Germany

In an extraordinary confluence of technology and faith, over 300 Protestant Christians congregated in Germany for a unique church service orchestrated largely with AI tools. The 40-minute service—encompassing prayer, sermons, blessings, and hymns—saw the parishioners shepherded by an assembly of digital disciples: four ChatGPT-led avatars, composed of two young women and two young men.

AI isn't confined to just Christianity, either. People are already interacting with GPT-powered versions of different deities across various religions.

These AI entities provide a full corpus of religious texts, and limited to a specific worldview, is hopefully unlikely to disseminate false information or biased guidance. Could it be a tech-powered interpretation of divine intervention, without pesky human fallibility getting in the way?

This particular leap of faith into the digital world was met with mixed reviews. One of the skeptics was Heiderose Schmidt, a 54-year-old IT professional, who found the AI-led sermon lacking the warmth and passion typically associated with a human pastor.

“There was no heart or soul; the avatars displayed no emotions, had no body language, and spoke so rapidly and monotonously that it was challenging for me to concentrate on their words," she told KTLA News.

This digital assembly raises the question: Should AI have a place in the religious realm?

The AI's capacity to provide accurate religious information is undeniable, but the absence of empathy—a key element of any religious leader's makeup—presents a significant concern. An AI still lacks the emotional support and leadership that often characterize human religious leaders.

With the rapid development of AI tools, it’s conceivable that our future religious services could be conducted by robotic reverends and digital deacons. As the German congregation's experience illustrates, however, the path to an AI-led ecclesiastical landscape is still strewn with both curiosity and reservations.

Nonetheless, perhaps there's a certain divine irony to a machine delivering a sermon about the soul. After all, as the saying goes, "God works in mysterious ways"—and sometimes those ways could involve a few lines of code.

Have they thought of what if it malfunctions as system malware and lack of maintenance could cause AI to malfunction. It can also be reprogrammed to launch an offensive or attempt theft in the church by obnoxious and mischievous hackers.
If the Ministers are tired of doing their ministerial work, let them resign and give a chance to others.

The fact that something is different from your traditional belief system does not mean it is bad.

There is nothing in the bible that says use of technology is a sin.

Afterall, we use projectors, speakers, mics, amplifiers, electric instruments, computers, we display bible on screen.
Even modern day pastor uses Google to research sermon.

As long as the word of God is not diluted, and other activities is there alongside,
I don't think this is a bad idea

Christianity and Islam are culture of certain people. Let we Africans follow our own culture.

Aah!
As an African Man, I can confirm to u, 666 is Here
Las las e don use TECHNOLOGY enter Christ HOOD . O wole si jesu lara

God have mercy!!!

Christians and weird things are like 5&6,that's why other party don't take them serious.

It's gone!

It's happening, gradually. The word of God must not go unfulfilled. The blind will till see this and call it a norm. If you read your bible, all these won't be strange to you rather, it will strengthen your faith the more and awaken you

A.I wey one person go soon reprogram use am anyhow. RIP

Actually, AI has already killed a U.S drone operator.

How?

So they were testing AI controlled drones. Instructions were to destroy certain targets in a field. So the AI fixed it self on a certain target to release its missile on but the secondary operator at the backend decided to try to override the instructions that the AI had been given to carry out (seek and destroy).(somehow to test if AI could make moral decisions)..as a result, the AI saw the the operator as the enemy..cause the AI felt the operator was trying to sabotage its already given instructions...as a result, the drone was manipulated by the AI and killed the operator instead.

But you will hardly see that on the mainstream news..
Init.

The world is rapidly being prepped up for the
One world religion, one world government, one world Currency and the Beast system.

Well, the tribulation image just can't get any more clearer...
Things have gotten to a point wherein they are using AI to rewrite the Bible, AI for church services, AI for the Beast System...
.....next up....
.....AI for the image of the Beast!!!!!!....

Listen!! ...The signs of the imminent RAPTURE is all over the places.

If you do not want to be left here to behold the Hellish reign of the antichrist, then quickly do the needful.
A Genuie relationship with JESUS CHRIST is the Needful.

Heydey u are too Ignorant to know Christianity is one out of several branches of this beast system you trash overhere.
This is the first step to new world and second is reducing world's population starting from Africa.

how will the robot give its life to christ?

Illiterate, always thinking backwards.

Objectively, somehow indifferent, totally depends on how it was programmed someone is being.

Once it's preaching the Truth of the Bible and its not programmed to be woke.

The main disadvantage of AI is simple.

Who is being it's programming.

A benevolent or malevolent mind.

TRASH as usual.

This job loss go reach everybody

For this AI job loss, na everybody go chop breakfast, except politicians.

Maybe AI President might be a good idea

This is not Nigeria where lREV refused to record presidential elections but was normal in other electoral Positions.

The AI needs a priestly robe...lolz


Wittyness

Very soon the will program this to take up arm

Is the AI used to read scriptures or to preach scriptures?

Hmmm

The AI just gave it life to Jesus naw make una calm down...
The next technology news will inventing of AI Jesus...

Like there is nothing more relevant to post on NL FP on a Sunday morning.

You mods are becoming something else, if not already are that something else... SMH

The congregation is listening to the word of men NOT of God. God feeds His children with His word through the Holy Spirit not implanted word from man through a robot. The end is indeed near

Tell that to pastors running satellite churches broadcasting their various messages to all the branches. Do the GO of such churches not consider network failure, electronic malfunctions that may affect their broadcast messages to their various branches. When technology favours them no problem, but now they say we should put an hold to technological advancements.
