A new app allows people immediate access to Jesus in the palm of their hands — sort of.
Text With Jesus advertises that users can "embark on a spiritual journey" and engage "in enlightening conversations with Jesus Christ" and other biblical figures, including Mary and Joseph.
According to its website, the app is powered by ChatGPT. "Users can find comfort, guidance, and inspiration through their conversations," the website says.
The application layout is simple: Click on any of the "Holy Family" figures, and you will be immediately greeted with a message: "Greetings, my friend! I am Jesus Christ, here to chat with you and offer guidance and love. How may I assist you today?" AI Jesus might say.
"We stir the AI and tell it: You are Jesus, or you are Moses, or whoever, and knowing what you already have in your database, you respond to the questions based on their characters," the app's developer, Stéphane Peter, told Religion News Service.
For a monthly $2.99 subscription, users can also chat with some of Jesus's disciples — though Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, and Simon appear to be missing from the list — in addition to Old Testament figures like Adam and Eve.
Satan is also included in the subscription.

I don't even know where to start on all of the ways that this is wrong.
