Prothero argues that a primarily peaceful Jesus was perceived to conflict with these gender norms, and so Jesus\u2019 physical prowess was emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, according to scholar\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.birmingham.ac.uk\/staff\/profiles\/tr\/sugirtharajah-rs.aspx\">R.S. Sugirtharajah<\/a>, around the same time in India,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hup.harvard.edu\/catalog.php?isbn=9780674051133\">Jesus was represented as a Hindu mystic or guru<\/a>\u00a0by Indian theologians like Ponnambalam Ramanathan in order to make Jesus more relatable for Indian Christians and to show how his spiritual teachings could be usefully adopted by faithful Hindus.<\/p>\n<p>A third presentation of Jesus is reflected in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/utsnyc.edu\/james-cone\/\">theologian James Cone<\/a>\u2019s work. Cone depicts Jesus as Black\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/orbisbooks.com\/products\/a-black-theology-of-liberation-50th-anniversary-edition\">to highlight the oppression he endured as a victim of political violence<\/a>. He also shows how the \u201cBlack Christ\u201d offers hope for liberation, equality and justice to oppressed people today.<\/p>\n<p>The point is not that one of these representations is necessarily more accurate than the others, but instead that Jesus has been consistently reinterpreted to fit the norms and needs of each new context.<\/p>\n<p>The AI Jesus who engages individuals online in the form of a chatbot is the latest in this ongoing pattern of reinterpretation, geared to making Jesus suited to the current times. On AI Jesus\u2019 Twitch channel, users consistently treat this chatbot Jesus as an authority in both personal and spiritual matters. For example, one recent user asked AI Jesus for advice about how best to stay motivated while exercising, while another person wanted to know why God allows war.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>AI Jesus at work<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>AI Jesus represents one of the newest examples in the growing field of AI spirituality. Researchers in AI spirituality study how human spirituality is being shaped by the rising influence of artificial intelligence, as well as how AI can help people understand how humans form beliefs in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.9781\/ijimai.2021.08.003\">2021 article on AI and religious belief<\/a>, scholars\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-bamberg.de\/en\/aise\/team\/vestrucci\/\">Andrea Vestrucci<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iit.comillas.edu\/personas\/slumbreras\">Sara Lumbreras<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=KJj_I3EAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">Lluis Oviedo<\/a>\u00a0explain how AI systems can be designed to generate statements of religious belief, such as \u2013 hypothetically \u2013 \u201cit is highly likely that the Catholic God does not support the death penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over time, such systems can revise and recalibrate these statements based on new information. For example, if the AI system is exposed to new data challenging its beliefs, it will automatically nuance future statements in light of that fresh information.<\/p>\n<p>AI Jesus functions very similarly to this kind of artificial intelligence system and answers religious questions, among others.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in addition to fielding questions referring to war and suffering, AI Jesus has responded to questions about why sensing God\u2019s presence can be difficult, whether an action that causes harm yet was done with good intentions is considered a sin, and how to interpret difficult verses from the Bible.<\/p>\n<p>This AI Jesus also adjusts his responses as the chatbot learns from user input over time. For instance, as part of the running stream of questions from some weeks ago, AI Jesus referenced past interactions with users and nuanced his responses accordingly, saying: \u201cI have received this question about the Bible\u2019s meaning before. \u2026 But in light of the question you have just posed, I want to add that \u2026 .\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>AI spirituality beyond AI Jesus<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This chatbot guru is facing increasing competition from other sources of AI spirituality.<\/p>\n<p>For example,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/germany-church-protestants-chatgpt-ai-sermon-651f21c24cfb47e3122e987a7263d348\">a recent ChatGPT church service in Germany<\/a>\u00a0included a sermon preached by a chatbot represented as a bearded Black man, while other avatars led prayers and worship songs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69201\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69201\" class=\"size-full wp-image-69201\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/AIChurchService.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/AIChurchService.jpg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/AIChurchService-250x166.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-69201\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Visitors and attendees during the AI-created worship service in St. Paul Church, Bavaria, Germany. Daniel Vogl\/picture alliance via Getty Images<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Other faith traditions are also providing spiritual lessons through AI. For example, in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/voicebot.ai\/2022\/01\/21\/meet-the-ai-monk-virtual-human-sharing-buddhist-teachings-in-thailand\/\">Thailand<\/a>\u00a0a Buddhist chatbot named Phra Maha AI has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/people\/%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%B2%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%AD%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%AD-AI-MONK\/100076595477143\/\">his own Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0on which he shares spiritual lessons, such as about the impermanence of life. Like AI Jesus, he is represented as a human being who freely shares his spiritual wisdom and can be messaged on Facebook anytime, anywhere \u2013 provided one has an internet connection.<\/p>\n<p>In Japan, another Buddhist chatbot,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asahi.com\/ajw\/articles\/14314273\">known as \u201cBuddhabot<\/a>,\u201d is in the end stages of development. Created by researchers at Kyoto University, Buddhabot has learned Buddhist sutras from which it will be able to quote when asked religious questions, once it is made publicly available.<\/p>\n<p>In this increasing array of easily accessible online options for seeking spiritual guidance or general advice, it is hard to tell which religious chatbot will prove to be most spiritually satisfying.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the millennia-old trend of refashioning spiritual leaders to meet contemporary needs is likely to continue well after AI Jesus has become a religious presence of the distant past.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Joseph L.
