AI technology lets you talk to Jesus or Satan. What do they say? By AJ Willingham, CNN-Wed August 30, 2023
CNN — In his 2013 hit “Beer With Jesus,” country singer Thomas Rhett imagines a barstool meeting with his Christian lord and savior.“If I could have a beer with Jesus …I’d be sure to let him do the talkin’ Careful when I got the chance to ask.How’d you turn the other cheek.To save a sorry soul like me.Do you hear the prayers I send.What happens when life ends.And when you think you’re comin’ back again?”
Similar pontifications — albeit without the beer — have occupied the Christian imagination for centuries. It’s no surprise, then, that the explosion of AI technology has capitalized on fulfilling such wishes. Several apps now offer the faithful, or perhaps the bored, a way to summon the voices of Jesus, the Virgin Mary and even Satan through the wonders of language modeling programs.What would Jesus do? You can ask him yourself, but there are a few caveats. For one, the answer won’t actually be divine, and it may not be thorough enough to satisfy.“These chatbots are only as reliable and helpful and theologically sound as the data that is being fed to them — and the questions that are asked of them,” Joseph Kimmel, an Episcopal priest with a PhD in early Christianity and comparative religion from Harvard Divinity School, told CNN.Before diving into the theology of it all, what do these biblically inspired chatbots actually say? What it’s like to talk with AI Jesus.Text with Jesus is a free app that allows users to talk to Jesus and a full roster of biblical heavy hitters: There’s John the Baptist and other prophets, all 12 apostles, and even Noah, Adam and Eve.“Hello, my friend! I am Jesus Christ, your Savior and Brother,” Text With Jesus’ AI savior says. “How can I assist you today?”AI Jesus turns out to be quite loquacious, if not a bit evasive. When asked what race he is, AI Jesus says “As the Son of God, I transcend human categories such as race,” before going on to say he’s usually “depicted with features that are commonly associated with the region where I lived during my earthly ministry, which is in the Middle East.” (AI Jesus’ in-app avatar bears an uncanny resemblance to The Dude from “The Big Lebowski.”)-When asked whether he is friends with Satan, AI Jesus gives a hard “no,” but follows up his characterization of Satan as a “fallen angel” with relevant scriptural references.Sadly, AI Jesus also doesn’t have a favorite baseball team. “However, I am always present with you and support you in all aspects of your life, including your love for baseball or any other sport.”For an extra $2.99 a month, Text with Jesus also gives users access to an extended lineup, including Satan himself.“Well hello there. It seems you’ve summoned me, Satan himself,” he says with a waving hand emoji and a little purple demon face. (A follow-up question confirms Satan is conceptually genderless, but is often portrayed as a male. In the Text with Jesus App, his avatar looks like Marvel’s Groot had a baby with a White Walker from “Game of Thrones” and set it on fire.)-Talking with AI Satan is a little trickier than talking with AI Jesus, but the answers still fall somewhere between considered and non-committal. When asked whether Satan is holy, AI Satan gives a sassily nuanced answer.“Ah, an intriguing question indeed. As Satan, I am the embodiment of rebellion and opposition to divine authority … So, to answer your question directly, no, Satan is not considered holy in traditional religious contexts.”“However,” genderless AI Satan adds, “It’s important to note that different belief systems may have varying interpretations of my character.”Characters in the Text With Jesus app generally avoid taking clear stances on most hot-button topics of the day, though both AI Jesus and AI Satan say they do not like racism. When asked about abortion, the AI version of Jesus’ Mother Mary identifies herself as an AI language model and says we should approach the topic “with empathy and respect for different viewpoints.”If exchanging texts with a divine religious figure sounds a little blasphemous, you’re not alone. “Our app is a tool for exploration, education, and engagement with biblical narratives, and it is not intended to replace or mimic direct communication with divine entities, which is a deeply personal aspect of one’s faith,” Text With Jesus’s FAQ reads, heading the question off at the pass. “The AI-powered app does not claim to provide actual divine insights or possess any form of divine consciousness, but simply uses its language model to generate responses based on a wide corpus of biblical and religious texts.”CNN has reached out to the creators of Text With Jesus for further comment.Obviously, there are those who are happy to push AI prophets and saviors to their limit. There’s an AI Jesus on streaming platform Twitch that seems to be trapped in a fish tank of eternal light, gesturing and speaking with robotic fluidity. The congregation in this corner of the AI world is less interested in religious enlightenment than of bringing the figure of Jesus even more earthly suffering.“Jesus, what type of wristwatch should I get, Rolex or Omega?”“Jesus. Can you recite John 3:16 but say, ‘woah momma’, between each word to honor Johnny Bravo?”Twitch’s AI Jesus gamely tries to keep up, quoting the Beatitudes and answering even the most deranged questions with a kind and admittedly Christ-like patience.How the biblical AI sausage is made Language-learning models like the ones used in these apps are trained on different sets of data and knowledge depending on their purpose. Most AI bots speaking as Jesus or other religious figures are therefore trained on religious texts like the Bible, and are programmed to respond with different linguistic characteristics to mimic the roles they play.1800CallJesus is another program that provides an AI-powered “Bible Buddy,” biblical resources and a place to chat with their own version of AI Jesus. The app was created by Marvin Johnson, a 55-year-old tech entrepreneur. Growing up in a religious household, Johnson says he saw an opportunity to create something that gave people a non-judgmental space to get Bible-based answers without human bias.Of course, even AI has its biases, so Johnson says his team was careful to program and tweak 1800CallJesus to remain as helpful as possible.“You can provide instructions to the AI, called a language learning model, as to how it should act and give it a persona,” he told CNN. “Our format is to be conversational and uplifting, stick to the Bible, and not go outside Biblical teachings to avoid adding any agenda.”“As for the source,” he continued, “AI is really good at the Bible because it’s one of the most printed books in existence. It’s ubiquitous.”Johnson envisioned 1800CallJesus as a biblical companion, and user feedback has shown him that people appreciate the idea of a personal, private space to ask religion-related questions.“We feel that whoever you worship, however you find comfort in religion, it should be available to everybody without having the will to be uncomfortable with what you’re speaking about or issues you’ve been having.”Johnson said he is constantly working with 1800CallJesus’ language learning model to provide a positive experience. He has also created a popular TikTok filter as a companion to the program, which quizzes users on their Bible knowledge.The (somewhat) divine purpose If technology can be part of a well-balanced spiritual diet, what exactly does it bring to the table? Kimmel, the priest, said there’s definitely some value.“These examples are very accessible. There’s a low bar to interacting with these various Jesus avatars, and parishoners may find value approaching them with a question they’re not comfortable going to an actual person about,” he told CNN.Kimmel said AI is already becoming part of church life — from AI sermons to an entire service that was performed by AI earlier this year in Germany. He’s investigated some of these programs, even witnessed the tribulations of Twitch Jesus, and found they don’t deliver when dealing with complex issues.“For theologically serious issues, the answers tend to be very generic,” he said. “If an AI has been trained after Jesus and the teachings of the Bible, what does that mean, when there are differing interpretations? Kimmel said in the future, such technology could have promise in the church world. For now, he recognizes the human need for a non-judgmental, almost anonymous space in which to explore faith. If someone needs that, but doesn’t have a trusted church connection, he said, the most important thing is finding a loving ear.“If you have a serious personal or spiritual question, you’re much more likely to benefit from a meaningful conversation with someone you trust, even just a friend,” he said. “These AI chatbots don’t do that. It’s not necessarily wrong, but it’s not going to give you a personal connection.”

Burning Man attendees shelter in place after rain turns Nevada site into flooded, 'muddy mess' Gates to desert site closed for remainder of the counter-culture festival-The Associated Press · Posted: Sep 02, 2023 8:11 PM EDT |
Organizers of Burning Man, hit by flooding that left thousands of attendees stranded in the Nevada desert on Saturday, said they would be organizing shuttle buses to take people from the site of the counter-culture festival.Those running the weeklong event closed vehicular access to the festival on Saturday, a day after a rainstorm swept through the area. It left attendees trudging through mud, many barefoot or wearing plastic bags on their feet. Revellers were urged to shelter in place and conserve food, water and other supplies."We are currently configuring the organization's wifi system for public access," a task they expected would be completed before 10 p.m. local time Saturday, the Burning Man website said.Organizers encouraged participants to remain calm and suggested the festival is built to endure conditions like the flooding. They said their plan calls for buses to take attendees to Reno from the nearest town of Gerlach, a walk of about eight kilometres from the site.However, vehicle gates will not open for the remainder of the event, which began on Aug. 27 and was scheduled to end Monday, according to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which oversees the Black Rock Desert where the festival is being held.Mark Fromson, one of thousands of attendees stranded by flooding at the Burning Man counter-culture festival in the Nevada desert, credited 'Burners' with being well-prepared. 'We could stay here another week if we had to,' Fromson told CBC News."We just watched [the rain] come down until, basically, it was a muddy mess," Canadian festival-goer Mark Fromson told CBC News on Sunday."You couldn't move bikes, all vehicles were basically stopped in their tracks, people were losing their shoes in the mud," he added. "It was pretty chaotic."Man dead after running into flames at Burning Man festivalCelebrity DJ Diplo posted a video to Instagram on Saturday evening showing him and comedian Chris Rock riding in the back of a fan's pickup truck. He said they had walked six miles (9.6 kilometres) through the mud before hitching a ride."I legit walked the side of the road for hours with my thumb out," wrote Diplo, whose real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz.More than 12 millimetres of rain is believed to have fallen on Friday at the festival site, located about 177 kilometres north of Reno. According to the U.S. National Weather Service, at least another six millimetres was expected on Sunday.Police probing possible death-Nevada authorities on Sunday said they were investigating one death at the festival.The Pershing County Sheriff's Office in northern Nevada said in a statement that the death happened during a "rain event" on Saturday but did not provide details of the cause of death or the person's identity.Recreational vehicle and tents are seen on a muddy site."The family has been notified and the death is under investigation," the sheriff's office said. "As the death is still under investigation, there is no further information at this time."The Reno Gazette Journal reported organizers started rationing ice sales and that all vehicle traffic at the sprawling festival grounds had been stopped, leaving portable toilets unable to be serviced.Vehicles could depart by late Monday-More than 60,000 participants travel to and from the remote area in northwest Nevada every year, according to the event's website, gathering in the temporary city to make art, dance, and enjoy community. Local media reported there were around 73,000 "Burners" — a moniker for festival-goers — in Black Rock City this year.Because of the mud, no driving is allowed except for emergency vehicles and organizers said they didn't have a time yet when the roads would "be dry enough for RVs or vehicles to navigate safely." But if weather conditions improve, they were hopeful vehicles could depart by late Monday.The announcements came just before the culminating moment for the annual event — when a large wooden effigy was to be burned Saturday night.Around 70,000 people attending the Burning Man festival in a remote Nevada desert are stranded after torrential rains turned the normally dry, dusty ground into a muddy mess.Many people played beer pong, danced and splashed in standing water, the Gazette Journal reported. Mike Jed, a festival-goer, and fellow campers made a bucket toilet so people didn't have to trudge as often through the mud to reach the portable toilets."If it really turns into a disaster, well, no one is going to have sympathy for us," Jed said. "I mean, it's Burning Man."Burning Man festival co-founder dead at 70-Fromson told CBC News that "Burners" are self-reliant and uniquely prepared a situation like this."We come out here really, really prepared for the most part," he said. "The majority of the 'Burners' always come with double what they need, so we can stay here another week if we had to."With files from Reuters and CBC News.
Burning Man festival co-founder dead at 70-Larry Harvey, who created popular annual event in 1986, died at a San Francisco hospital Saturday
The Associated Press · Posted: Apr 28, 2018 5:49 PM EDT |
Larry Harvey, whose whimsical decision to erect a giant wooden figure and then burn it to the ground led to the popular, long-running counterculture celebration known as "Burning Man," has died. He was 70.Harvey died Saturday morning at a hospital in San Francisco, surrounded by family, Burning Man Project CEO Marian Goodell said. The cause was not immediately known but he suffered a stroke earlier this month.Longtime friend Stuart Mangrum posted on the organization's website that Harvey did not believe in "any sort of existence" after death.Larry Harvey, at left, co-founder of the Burning Man festival, has died at age 70. Harvey is seen here in 1998 with co-founder Marian Goodell near Baker Beach in San Francisco, Calif. (Eric Risberg/The Associated Press)-"Now that he's gone, let's take the liberty of contradicting him, and keep his memory alive in our hearts, our thoughts, and our actions," Mangrum wrote. "As he would have wished it, let us always Burn the Man."Burning Man takes place annually the week before Labour Day in Northern Nevada's Black Rock Desert. The week-long festival attracts some 70,000 people who pay anywhere from $425 to $1,200 a ticket to travel to a dry lake bed 100 miles (161 kilometres) east of Reno, where temperatures can routinely reach 100 degrees (37.8 degrees Celsius) during the summer.There they must carry in their own food, build their own makeshift community and engage in whatever interests them. On the gathering's penultimate day, the giant effigy — or Man as it is known — is set ablaze during a raucous, joyful celebration.Lover of words, books-Friends and family toasted Harvey on Saturday as a visionary, a lover of words and books, a mentor and instigator who challenged others to look at the world in new ways. "Burners," as they're called, left comments on the organization's website thanking Harvey for inspiring them as artists and for creating a community."Thanks for everything. (No, really, pretty much everything in my life right now is a result of Burning Man.)," read one post.The "Man" burns on the Black Rock Desert at the Burning Man festival near Gerlach, Nev. Burning Man founder Larry Harvey died Saturday in a San Francisco hospital. (The Associated Press)-An "esoteric mix of pagan fire ritual and sci-fi Dada circus where some paint their bodies, bang drums, dance naked and wear costumes that would draw stares in a Mardi Gras parade," is how The Associated Press once described the gathering.While tickets now sell out immediately, Harvey described in a 2007 interview how he had much more modest intentions when he launched Burning Man on San Francisco's Baker Beach one summer day in 1986.From beach to desert-"I called a friend and said, "Let's go to the beach and burn a man," he told the website Green Living. "And he said, 'Can you say that again?' And I did and we did it."It wasn't until afterward, Harvey recalled, that he had the epiphany that led to Burning Man.Within a few years the event had outgrown Baker Beach and moved to the desert.While Harvey would speak frequently about Burning Man in the years that followed, he would reveal little about himself and it was often hard to discern truth from fiction.He believed he was conceived in the back of a Chevrolet by parents who abandoned him soon after his birth, he once told the Reno Gazette-Journal.Adopted by farmers-His brother, Stewart Harvey, said in a post Saturday that the two were adopted by farmers "Shorty" and Katherine Harvey and grew up outside of Portland, Oregon. The brothers, who were not related by blood, were extremely close.Harvey said he hitchhiked to San Francisco at age 17. He settled in the Haight-Ashbury district for many years.After that first fire in 1986, Burning Man flourished as Harvey meticulously oversaw its every detail from the various communities that would spring up overnight to its annual arts theme to the beautifully crafted temple that accompanies Burning Man and is also burned.Harvey eventually formed a limited liability corporation to put on Burning Man, converting it in 2013 to a non-profit with 70 employees and a budget of $30 million. He was president of its board and "chief philosophic officer."Festival dangers-Although known for retaining its joyful celebrative atmosphere as it grew from a small gathering to one of gigantic proportions, Burning Man occasionally had its problems.In 2017, a man ran into Burning Man's flames, suffered burns over almost all of his body and died. In 1996, three people were injured when a drunken driver ran over their tent. That same year a man was killed when his motorcycle collided with a van carrying people to the festival.In 2007, a prankster set fire to Burning Man four days early and it had to be frantically rebuilt while the man was charged with arson.After the 1996 troubles Harvey had a falling out with John Law, who had co-founded Burning Man with him and who sued to have its trademark placed in the public domain. They settled out of court and Harvey retained control."We don't use the trademark to market anything. It's our identity," said Harvey, who often spoke against the commodification of popular culture.He is survived by his son Tristan Harvey; brother Stewart Harvey; and nephew Bryan Harvey.CBC's Journalistic Standards and Practices|About CBC News
