German outlet Deutsche Welle (DW) was the first to report on this AI Jesus being trialed at St. Peter’s Chapel in Lucerne. The chapel partnered with the Immersive Realities Research Lab at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts to try “an innovative project that explores the use of virtual characters based on generative artificial intelligence in a spiritual context.”
The Catholic News Agency (CNA) notes:
The AI program was reportedly trained with content from the New Testament, with the goal of allowing the “Jesus” avatar to verbally respond, in one of 100 languages, to questions about the Bible from people entering the confessional.
(Numerous reports described the “Jesus” avatar as a “hologram,” which is a 3D projection created with lasers; but a Deutsche Welle video of the installation in action showed that the artificial face of “Jesus” merely appeared on a curved computer monitor behind the confessional screen.)
The installation is titled “Deus in Machina” (a Latin phrase meaning “God in the machine” and a play on the more commonly used literary phrase “Deus ex machina”). An announcement from the lab said the project, which is described as an “art exhibit,” “encourages thinking about the limits of technology in the context of religion.”
Despite being placed in the confessional booth, the parish notes on its website that the AI installation is intended for conversations, not confessions. Confession, also called penance or reconciliation, is one of the seven sacraments of the Church and can only be performed by a priest or bishop, and never in a virtual setting.
A theologian at the Swiss parish said the project is also intended to help to get religious people comfortable with AI and reportedly said he does see potential for AI to help with the pastoral work of priests, given that AI can be available any time, “24 hours a day, so it has abilities that pastors don’t.”
Though this AI Jesus is not meant to replace priests, those who tried it gave it positive reviews.
One lady told DW: “He was able to reaffirm me in my ways of going about things, and he helped me with questions I had, like how I could help other people to understand him better and come closer to him.”
Another woman said, “I was surprised, it was so easy. And though it’s a machine, it gave me so much advice, also from a Christian point of view. I felt taken care of and I walked out really consoled.
Marco Schmid, the theologian of the chapel, told DW that he sees potential for AI to be ‘the future of modern pastoral care,’ DW reported. “Accessibility is easy, 24 hours a day, so it has abilities that pastors don’t.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
Mark 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
Again and again I have said that AI has been propped up as the new gods of the masses where people will fall down and worship and commune with it, seeking answers and deliverance and help in everything, physically, emotionally, spiritually and philosophically. This exemplifies that point, on top of all the other misfit attempts by antichrists to have “Christians” use AI to pretend they are receiving life advice and answers to prayer from Jesus and other characters in the Bible.
Of course, this Catholic theologian thinks this is great because the AI can be accessed 24/7. Well, I can do the same with the REAL Jesus Christ whenever, because he dwells in me and I do not need a priest to intercede and Mary as a co-mediatrix for God the Father to hear my prayers.
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: [15] And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
Didn’t see any mention of a priest as an intermediary there…
This is nothing more than 21st century necromancy and idol worship with a facelift. There is no new thing under the sun.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
