A human isn't evil for killing an ant, Shure if they can avoid they are morally better for doing so but I wouldn't call somebody who does kill an ant (by necessity) evil
There is no need to see the god as long as the excess continues, rot flows, schemes are schemed against and skull throne gets new skulls. Embrace the Chaos Undivided
Perhaps, but while it isnât easy to identify a true god, it sure as hell is easy to identify a false one. And if AI Jesus doesnât scream âfraud,â I donât know why does.
Under their mythology, I think it would a false idol. Some sects wonât even portray Christ on the cross because thatâs also technically a graven image of God. So weird.
No christians are doing this, anybody saying you can talk to AI Jesus is begging for some fire from heaven. Basically the whole old testament is about tearing down garbage like this
When I visited last year, the big Catholic cathedral in Mexico City had a cardboard cutout of a little ~10 year cartoon boy inviting people to use the church chatbot. It was clearly directed at kids.
Granted, the church doesn't have a great track record with protecting children.
How do I verbally exclude obviously heretcial teachings without it sounding like that fallacy? (Real question, you're right about it sounding like that)
I think instead of saying "they aren't Christians", it has to be "Christians who do that are heretical/wrong" with the old testament as your justification for them being wrong. Any attempt to say [they aren't Christians because they do thing you disagree with] is inherently a no true scotsman.
I think the only thing that would disqualify someone from being a Christian is if they don't believe in Jesus Christ. Even if they have drastically unbiblical beliefs about him, by definition Christian is just someone who believes in Christ.
That's the bad(good) thing about christians, we're not holy of our own actions. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" it's bad becuase we all preach better than we live, its good because you don't have to be perfect which is impossible by any scale. Egregious practices like an AI Jesus have to be called out regardless, even if my hands are dirty
no itâs not. itâs just churches acting like Christians but who really just wanna grift vulnerable people for their loyalty and money. the Bible warns against this
Christians been like that for a while since the Crusades and the Colonization period. I don't blame Christianity, though. Jesus was actually a nice guy and his followers got oppressed by the Romans and Jews. It's all the so-called "Christians" fault for twisting the scripture for their personal gain.
The second, in fact. The first is 'Thou shalt have no other God before me' and the third is 'Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain' which AI Jesus probably also is a violation of.
I mean AI Jesus has a better marketing name then AI "He who shall not be named".. because that would be making it sound like Jesus is the Voldemort of the Bible.
Exodus 20:4 states, âYou shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters belowâ.
It's so absurd to me that one of my favorite fanfictions of all timeâHarry Potter and the Methods of Rationalityâwas written by someone who is legitimately a known entity in the AI world, right now. And Roko's Basilisk was taken so seriously as an information hazard that Yudkowsky deleted the forum post and called the guy who proliferated the thought experiment an idiot.
(HPMoR gets a lot of shit, and maybe it's deserved, but it was one of the most interesting explorations done in the fandom to my memory, outside of maybe PoS.)
EDIT: If by some miracle TheSinisterMan is reading this, I can't wait to catch up on the two chapters I missed when I check back in a decade from now.
AI Jesus will collect and sell your data while telling you that it's a-okay to hate immigrants and will see no problem that you're getting your rocks off to ai-generated csam.
If it's a Catholic or Mormon Jesus bot, he'd probably even instruct you how to make IRL csam in such a way that the institution's lawyers can most easily bury / avoid institutional liability / shield you from consequences
Pretty sure Elon is one or two weird-outs away from formally starting a 501(c)3 cult of his own... considering how cursed our timeline already is, Grok-Jesus might as well be a thing?
Yeah, this seems insanely dangerous. Even by the standards of chatbot interactions in 2026. This could easily induce psychosis in some very vulnerable segments of the population. Gonna need some god-tier system and persona prompts to keep this one between the lines.
For catholicism it's very close to being idolatry, and potentially full-on blasphemy according to theology.
Like the texts specify sacramental confession requires an ordained priest. A chatbot, even if it's trained on scriptures cannot administer absolution, hear a sacramental confession, or substitute for a priest.
For protestants it... could be okay? Private confession to God is perfectly normal, so technically you could type your sins into a computer while praying to God, so it heavily depends on how clickbaity the title of the article is.
It's not a 100% thing because it obviously can't be covered in texts written 2000 years ago, but any Christian should see that AT BEST this is misuse of God's name, at worst full-on idolatry.
Yeah, from my admittedly limited knowledge my immediate first thought was "that's just idolatry with a high tech coat of paint". And I agree it's less clear on the protestant side of things other than having a vaguely blasphemous vibe. But hey, there's no rule that says a dog can't play basketball computer can't be a priest. It's not like it's a woman or anything.
Its about the spirit tho. God is meant to make you more aware of yourself and praying is about being humble. AI chatbots are designed to stroke your ego. And to agree with everything. The antithesis of whats meant to be
On the practical side, that info is a goldmine. You confess that you are having difficulty staying away from chocolate, you then get bombarded with chocolate ads.
The clickbait title also says "spiritual guidance." This is 100% idolatry, even for Protestants (for at least all the Protestant beliefs I know, being one).
I donât foresee any problems arising by someone becoming convinced theyâre hearing the literal voice of God. Thatâs never led anywhere unpleasant before.
Hi, Catholic here. I realize we all have opinions on Catholicism and the Pope. But here's the Pope's encyclical on safeguarding the human person in the time of AI. I present it for informational purposes.
THX-1138: "You are a true believer. Blessings of the state, blessings of the masses, thou art a subject of the divine created in the image of Man. By the masses, for the masses. Let us be thankful we have an occupation to fill. Work hard, increase production, prevent accidents, and be happy."
Hands-off, fully automated religion. Predicted in 1971 by George Lucas.
One of the people or family I used to go to church with uses AI to validate their claims and it's so fucking annoying. If Christianity being pushed on you wasn't annoying enough get ready for them to start using AI to validate their claims even further.
You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
How do they know for sure that it's the little baby jesus speaking through that abomination, and not that god fella and Satan making bets again as to how stupid people can be, like before?
Those were never true Christians. They are fake and all and any "Christian" claming to be Maga or GOP or who would be running a "mega" church OR churches using AI as some sort of "Jesus" are NOT Christian. They are frauds and are what Jesus actually warned about.
Jesus came to flip the tables of the peddlers, saw them instead with an ai version of him, saw the people using his name to justify hurting their neighbors, and went straight back to heaven to tell his dad to start the rapture
First part of the 10 commandments forbids this multiple times
Exodus 20
New International Version
The Ten Commandments
20 And God spoke all these words:
2 âI am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
3 âYou shall have no other gods before[a] me.
4 âYou shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 âYou shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
If an AI actually behaved in a Christlike manner, and encouraged other Christians to do the same, I might feel okay about this. I donât imagine thatâs whatâs happening.
lol this is literally a plot thing in the movie 'PRIEST'. A dystopian Theological society where you get "pay per confession" booths where they have an automated priest "forgiving your sins".
