@ 2023/06/23Much more precise
A church in Germany has held the first AI-driven mass in a move that some might feel is a reform too far.
More than 300 people attended an experimental ChatGPT-powered church service at St. Paul’s church in the Bavarian town of Fürth, Germany.
The 40-minute sermon included text generated by OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot and delivered by avatars on a television screen above the altar.
The priest in this case was shown as a bearded man with a fixed expression and monotone voice which was pretty much what we saw the last time we stepped into a Christian church before catching fire.
It started: “Dear friends, it is an honour for me to stand here and preach to you as the first artificial intelligence at this year’s convention of Protestants in Germany.”
