In the United States, you can chat with an AI in the image of Jesus… for 2 dollars per minute

Just Like Me, a platform known for facilitating exchanges with artificial intelligences (AI) of experts and coaches, is now offering video chats with an AI of Jesus for $1.99 per minute. Inspired by the actor Jonathan Roumie from “The Chosen” series, this AI avatar of Christ can engage in conversations, prayers, and encouragements in multiple languages. For a monthly fee of $49.99, you can chat with Jesus for 45 minutes. The company behind this initiative aims to provide spiritual guidance to foster a deeper and more personal connection, especially targeting young people. The AI model used for this avatar was developed based on the King James Bible and sermons, albeit with some minor glitches and imperfect lip-syncing noted by Associated Press journalists. When asked about the link between AI and religion, Jesus AI reportedly views AI as a tool to explore scriptures and enlighten our path with God. There is a suggestion to not undermine the potential of religious AI businesses from the start.
