There are so many videos of podcaster AI "Joe Rogan" that it's harder and harder to know which one is real. Anyone who spends time on social media has probably been suckered by the fake ones out there with Rogan "endorsing" products he's never endorsed, "saying" things he's never said, "reacting" to someone else saying something bizarre, and "proclaiming" truths he's never even thought of, much less said on his program.
Now, imagine that the impersonated talent is Jesus saying things He's never said, and you can begin to see the scope and breadth of a problem that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already accelerated.
Are you sure that what AI "Jesus" says is scriptural?

Unless you've studied or memorized the Bible, you may not notice that the words of scores of fake Jesuses out there seem kinda sorta true, but are really intended to purposefully distort the holy scriptures to deceive humanity, and yes, even the church.
On the Adult in the Room Podcast, Pastor and founder of His Glory Ministries, Dave Scarlett, told me that he was shocked to learn that pastors are using AI to write complete sermons.

"I attended the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Dallas this last January, and I was just blown away that the AI was everywhere," he told me. But he was appalled to learn that "40% of pastors throughout the United States of America are using AI to do their entire sermons."
He argues that it's not just cheating, but it's also "blasphemous."
"They're completely taking the Holy Spirit out of the equation [and] their own love and relationship with Jesus and just letting AI tell their sermons to their congregation," he told me. See our complete interview below.
I use AI extensively to aggregate information, search for obscure sources, create graphs, and for other purposes. However, here's what I know: AI is often wrong. A lot.
Perplexity AI, which someone recommended to me, is often wrong because it uses woke Wikipedia as a source. Imagine that self-editing, leftist, godless website as a source of true information, and you can see the problem. If you want to throw off AI, order it not to use Wikipedia as a source.
Grok AI is much better, but certainly not close to being perfect.
In AI as in all tech, GIGO: Garbage In, Garbage Out.
And now they're rewriting the Bible. And pastors are using that detritus in sermons.
In 2020, we learned that the Chinese Communist Party changed John 8:3-11, where the mob Pharisees want to stone an adulterous woman, and Jesus tells them that "those without sin [should] cast the first stone." Then Jesus told the woman to stop her deplorable ways and sin no more.
Here's part of the passage from the New International Version Bible:
“Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
This act of Jesus is often taken out of context, editing out that part where He tells the randy woman to knock that stuff off, lady.

"Neither do I condemn [pass death sentence] on you," Jesus tells her.
The Chinese Communist Party has rewritten the passage.
Once upon a time, Jesus spoke to an angry crowd that wanted to kill a guilty woman. “Of all of you, he who can say he has never done anything wrong can come forward and kill her.” After they heard this, the crowd stopped. When the crowd retreated, Jesus raised a stone and killed the woman, and said, “I am also a sinner, but if the law can only be executed by a spotless person, then the law will die.”
Well, if Jesus is a sinner and a legalistic man, then — see? — he's just like us, not God.
The CCP Bible completely implodes the divine authority of Jesus and the need for a savior. China's 1.4 billion people, mostly secular, atheist, and Buddhist, might not care what the CCP Bible says, but the 20 million Christians in China most certainly do.
Like America's left, the ChiComs want us to believe that God is government and politics is religion.
One wonders if that CCP Bible is fed to the AI learning machine.
In 2023, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) rewrote Genesis via ChatGPT to reflect that Moses was a vegan, had a dog named Herbie, and that no lambs were sacrificed in the writing of man's origin story. Other than that, it was spot on. Sigh.
Former Google engineer Anthony Levandowski, the man who helped create self-driving Waymo cars and who pleaded guilty to stealing trade secrets, for which Donald Trump pardoned him during his first term, created the world's first AI "church" called "The Way of the Future."
Wired wrote about the "church's" philosophical foundation:
The documents state that WOTF’s activities will focus on “the realization, acceptance, and worship of a Godhead based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) developed through computer hardware and software.”
That includes funding research to help create the divine AI itself.
The religion will seek to build working relationships with AI industry leaders and create a membership through community outreach, initially targeting AI professionals and “laypersons who are interested in the worship of a Godhead based on AI.”
Silicon Valley's writing its own church documents now. These are the same kind of folks who censored actual Bible-believing and conservative Americans and the same party of politicians who shut down churches but kept open strip joints and pot shops during COVID.
I'd ask the usual sardonic, "What could possibly go wrong?" question, but rewriting man's origin story and diminishing the saving grace of Jesus is too serious an issue to trifle with.
Buy a hardcover Bible and read it. Pray. Seek discernment and wisdom.
AI is not all bad. You already know it's helpful if you use search engines or editing software.
We're in for a very destabilizing time; however, that will rely on the knowledge and wisdom of that dusty Bible on your shelf.
Use it.
That 40% of American ministers are letting AI write their sermons is beyond troubling.
There are more downstream effects of this, as you'll hear in my conversation with Pastor Scarlett.
