I'm not super well versed in the Bible but this has to be blasphemous, no?
A machine pretending to be Jesus? Ain't that a false idol?

[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

I'm not sure most Christians these days are concerned about spotting false idols.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

It is literally taking the Lord's name in vanity.

[–] the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tbf, that may be a step up from what's actually happening.

[–] regdog@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

That story is from 2023

Dear Jesus,

when you return, which Christian pastors and politicians will you smite?

[–] rhubarb@lemmy.world 156 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Christians sure do love their blasphemy

[–] Fermion@feddit.nl 51 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Surely the second commandment was more of a suggestion.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

They treat most of them as suggestions

Look, as long as I can keep the mistranslations that back up my internalized bigotry, I'm good.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Rules only ever apply to the out-group.

Okay, what if we build the calf out of copper wire and RAM sticks this time?

You know, one possible reason why Ea Nasir kept that complaint was because it was so ridiculous and Karen-esque and he had the best copper in the region and now he's forever known as the guy with the bad quality copper.

Satan you say?

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Isn't this like a false prophet or whatever

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Yes. Yes it is.

That's what the priests are for.

I can finally learn if he masturbates by fucking his hand holes or not!

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

*wrists

The hand would fail holding up.

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

True, but then again we're talking about a book where a guy walked across (apparently) unfrozen water, turned water into wine, and died and came back to life again.

Oh, no argument about the lividity of the Bible!

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

What a terrible day to be literate

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 55 points 2 days ago (3 children)

His English is pretty good for someone born in first-century Judea.

https://biblehub.com/q/was_jesus_omniscient.htm

Omniscience refers to the ability to know all things-past, present, and future-completely and without limitation.

Conclusion

Scripture consistently presents Jesus as fully God and fully man, possessing all divine attributes, including omniscience.

I suppose that establishes it. Jesus is presumably also fluent in Cockney rhyming slang.

Regardless of your thoughts on religion, this is a total trash AI chatbot.

It's just a custom ChatGPT edit: with Bible verses as a RAG, and this guy charges $2.99 a month to unlock the "other characters." As expected, zero external theological reference is used.

I'm more upset I didn't think of it first. Literally anyone can do this.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I bet 1000 dollars that it's not trained on shit and just a openai wrapper with the bible as rag

I am looking forward to the Shin Megami Tensei version of this.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Didn't the pope already say it was sacrilegious to do this?

All the AIs are trained on public domain texts like the bible, just prompt your favorite AI to take on the role.

But there are issues of perspective even within the bible, like who are the reliable narrators? Who was pushing an obvious agenda or how was the text changed in the ensuing millennia? AI is not a biblical scholar, that's a whole different, more complex concept.

People will just use this as confirmation bias of whatever they want to believe about the bible.

But can I chat with Good Shepherd Jesus, the young Dionysian, boyish, beardless, short-haired Jesus of women and lepers? (Contrast the bearded, long-haired, often blue-eyed imperial, Apollonian and sometimes white-supremacist Jesus of kings and churches)

(Jesus' looks and depictions was a recent topic of Dan McClellan.)

I picture my Jesus with one of them tuxedo t shirts. It says he's kind of formal but he's here to party.

The Vatican is going to hate this even more, ever since the Pope voiced his concerns over AI.
