Is It A Good Idea to Have an AI Pastor??

May 2, 2024

This week the Catholic church released a new 3D AI "priest" who could answer basic theological questions for people researching Catholic beliefs. After some backlash, they made some changes to "Father Justin," but you can still talk with him today on their website.

What should we take from this? Is this taking AI too far? Is it ok to use AI as a "theological search engine"? But then where do we draw the line?

This technology is evolving so rapidly, so it's wise for us to have these conversations. Pastor Joe and Matt chime in with their thoughts on this week's episode of Trending!
