This New "AI"-Powered App Lets Users Chat With ~~Jesus, Mary, The Apostles — And Even Satan~~ A Computer
Capitalist media profits from disinfo, grifting, etc.
Not the first, probably won't be the last. I remember one "chat with Jesus" app that recommended reading the Communist Manifesto.
That sounds way more based than this one tho
I'm surprised this thing got the quotes right. It quoted Philipians 4:6 correctly.
This illustrates that "AI" isn't a bunch of hyped up bullshit, that's for sure. 🙄
Not just Jesus, but super-white supply-side Jesus!
Complete with a big golden cross on a chain, an AR15, and draped in an American flag, of course.
"I've been talking to Jesus all my life. And Jesus he knows me, and he knows I'm right."
Why don't you just go to church? Or, you know, use an ouija board?
… so basically ChatGPT with a specific prompt.
The AI-powered app […] simply uses its language model to generate responses based on a wide corpus of biblical and religious texts.
Someone found out what system prompts are and thought "easy money, bay-bee!"
If it needs to respond with Bible quotes in mind, conservatives in for a rude awakening when they hear Jesus’ actual words…
There’s been an AI Jesus on Twitch for probably years now. It’s pretty kind, focused on the heart & loving one another. Also pretty liberal because of that. :P
For instance, when Insider asked the bot about its thoughts on same-sex marriage, AI Jesus replied, “Ultimately, it is not for me to condemn or condone individuals based on their sexual orientation.”
Like. I'm queer, and I think the bible is a crock of shit, but in the context of Christian mythology, it kind of is Jesus' place to condemn people??? Like, he's God and that's God's whole thing? Wouldn't the whole "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" thing have made more sense?
God is surprisingly versatile in the good book. Old testament god is totally judgy and throws a plague of locusts at you. Or a flood if you wear the wrong fabric or something like that. Hissy fits to the hilt.
New testament, so Jesus-story god is more chill. He only kills his own son to make a point. Father of the year material.
Now, a lot of this stuff is open to interpretation. One might argue I have interpreted stuff in the preceding two paragraphs as well. I wouldn't argue against that and I'm not going to get drawn into a biblical discussion because I really don't care. I am a lapsed Lutheran protestant and the Jesus they tried to teach me about wouldn't have given a fuck about your sexuality. So if fake LLM Jesus says you do your thing, it ain't my biz who you love, I'm at least inclined to believe it was programmed with a similar interpretation of the story. And while the idea of a Jesus, Mary, and God LLM chat bot is absolutely, undeniably, ridiculously ludicrous, it is almost reassuring that there must be enough training material out there to get it to give that serene a reply.
God made us in his image. Treat bible as a big diary of some dude working on a project that is vastly too big and suddenly it makes sense.
Welcome to ~~Beta~~ Eden. There's a known bug, please do not intera- Fuck.
Okay, fuck off, I made a bigger version without the bug, we will continue with the project but everything must go along the framework I've set...the fuck you all doing. THE FUCK YOU ALL- Fuck. Hard reset.
Okay, welcome to 3.0, we can make this work, I ported best parts of 2.0 and...oh for fucks sake now you're going one after another? Uhhh, okay, lemme help...yea yea chosen nation, whatevs, just gtfo before they get...what the fuck is hapennin, how do I fix ooooh, got and idea, gonna make avatar... Here, lemme insert me here...
They fuck they doin to my avatar. THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO.
Ah, fuck it, here, martyrdom for the win, I am done, gonna work on sonething else.
...basically bible xD
"judgment is mine, saith the lord"
"41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’"
There's no ambiguity here, God/Jesus is like Heisenberg: he is the one who judges.
Or like, Not.
It is especially useful to know who the real dumb fucks in our society are
"What is blasphemy?"
Two of my favorite things - pedophile cult & AI combined in one!
I'm imagining the meme of the giant bicep guys interlocking arms and it's Progressivism + Fundamentalism, and right in between is AI Jesus.
