For this writer, the Bible has meant different things at different points. As a child, we read the children’s version—on the insistence of parents—to learn through its stories, about right and wrong, good and evil. Growing up, we turned to it, often in desperate times. An elderly relative had once claimed that if there was something bothering us, we would find a resolution in the Psalms, a book in the Old Testament, composed of sacred songs and poems. We went beyond, dipping into many books within the Holy text; the answers that came were never direct, always cryptic.
Landing on jesus-ai.com, a recently-launched platform, informed by Christian values, and where you can ask Jesus “about any verse in the Bible, law, love, life, truth”, we had our first brush with Artificial Intelligence-induced divinity. Our question on “how do I find my true path?”, elicited a “Hi there!” from Jesus Christ, the virtual. “The best way to begin is by taking some quiet time to reflect on what is most important to you and what you want to achieve in life... I’m always here to help if you need it!.” “Jesus” had spoken to us.
