Is this the mess-AI-iah?
Just in case artificial intelligence hasn’t been taking on enough jobs lately — now it’s replacing the almighty. A church in Switzerland is now using an AI hologram of Jesus to take confessions from Catholic worshippers, as seen in a wild viral video.
“I was surprised, it was so easy, and though it’s a machine, it gave me so much advice,” one awestruck worshipper told DW News while describing their experience with the Sermon-ator, located at St. Peter’s Church in Lucerne.
The cybernetic savior is also fluent in 100 different languages, enabling it to converse with worshippers from all over the world.
Many believers were over the moon about JC’s robo-resurrection, which took confessions between August 23 and October 20 but will be involved in events until the end of November.
“I asked about the spiral of violence, how to break one,” recalled one satisfied visitor. “The answer: through prayer and not seeking retribution.”
Another recounted, “He was able to reaffirm me in my ways of going about things and he was able to help me with questions I had like how I can help other people to understand him better and come closer to him.”

But if you go to the wrong AI, it will just tell you: “Kill yourself, human”.
As if catholicism needs more problems. SMH
If you’d have told me 25 years ago that James Cameron’s The Terminator movie was prophesy i’d have told you you were nuts. 😏
I'm sorry but that is just plain stupid...
Confession is for acknowledging sin and asking for forgiveness.
It’s not for advice.

Advice? There is this collection of books called The Bible. It’s good for instruction, inspiration, correction and so much more. Nothing artificial about it.
I guess it’s a good thing the Catholic Church got rid of the real Second Commandment. The graven image thing got in their way.
Back in the days of 14K dialup, the laptop I had at the time was in one of its Windows 95 tailspins and Windows Explorer was totally locked up. I had little choice but to boot or wait, so I waited.
The Explorer window had a little icon at the top left for when it was online, sending or receiving data. In its semi-comatose state, where "www" should have been was displayed, "666." Pretty spooky. My thought was that either something really bad underlies the Internet from its inception, or a programer somewhere has a really kinky sense of humor.
That Hideous Strength
Anyone who gave a confession to this program is a fool.
The Seal of the Confessional does not apply to a computer program.
A computer program does not take vows. A computer program is not consecrated.
The files in a computer can be subpoenaed.
No judge is going to accept that you had any supposition of secrecy of the confessional with an AI program.
An AI program is not a priest and an AI program is not a servent of God.
Matthew 24:5
For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
Because..
What you REALLY want is that everything you tell your “confessor” is now stored forever. distributed to many places so, can never be absolutely erased. Can instantly be recalled 10-20 years down the road.
Potentially hacked, leaked or accessed by potnential Gov, employers, police, neighbors, etc..
You think the 23 and me, fishing for cold cases throuygh relatives is bad? They have the perps voice, on file admitting everything, forever!
Didn’t Depeche Mode do a song about this?
Sounds like an AI pope.
On the way home, he stops at a confession booth in a row of many, and relates his concerns and mumbles prayers about "party" and "masses", under the Jesus Christ-esque portrait of "OMM 0000". A soothing voice greets THX, and OMM ends the confession with a parting salutation: "You are a true believer, blessings of the State, blessings of the masses. Work hard, increase production, prevent accidents, and be happy."

Well then the parishioners can go to ai “heaven”, which will be nothing like the real deal.
Nothing new under the sun- ancient false religions had stone or wooden gods which would “give them advice” via gut reading, or bone casting, or dice throwing- an ai god is nothing but an amped up version of ungodly “advice” mixed in with perhaps some solid biblical precepts- just enough to make it sound authentic, but deceitful enough that many will be led astray!
Wrong, just WRONG!!
