[So there’s an app called Text With Jesus that will let you ask questions to a chatbot claiming to the Son of God.](https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/30/us/ai-technology-jesus-satan-religion-cec/index.html) (you can also talk to John the Baptist and other prophets, all 12 apostles, and even Noah, Adam and Eve. For an extra $2.99 a month you can also text with the OG Bad Boy himself, Satan. Getting guidance from a chatbot sounds bad, but I guess some people might feel more comfortable with that than a human at times. Though according to the article, JesusGPT doesn’t support any particular sports teams, and doesn’t come down on one side or another of other important current issues.

"“The AI-powered app does not claim to provide actual divine insights or possess any form of divine consciousness, but simply uses its language model to generate responses based on a wide corpus of biblical and religious texts.”

So I can now have my own personal Jesus-- an AI to hear my prayers; an AI that cares (or at least, an AI that’s there).

In certain fonts, a Capital I looks like a lower case L; I was wondering who Al Jesus was.  
.  
.  
Decades ago, when I was just a Spiderboy, I used to play [Eliza](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA) on my babysitter (a mainframe) by giving BS answers & trying to talk about HER problems; sounds similar.

How were they programed? Was it limited to direct quotes from the two, or was there massive imput from others about them? Was a Bible the only source?
