Is there anything ChatGPT can’t do? The latest use for the most popular generative AI was in an actual church, where the AI performed a sermon in front of more than 300 people.
From an Associated Press report:
“The artificial intelligence chatbot asked the believers in the fully packed St. Paul’s church in the Bavarian town of Fuerth to rise from the pews and praise the Lord.
The ChatGPT chatbot, personified by an avatar of a bearded Black man on a huge screen above the altar, then began preaching to the more than 300 people who had shown up on Friday morning for an experimental Lutheran church service almost entirely generated by AI.
“Dear friends, it is an honor for me to stand here and preach to you as the first artificial intelligence at this year’s convention of Protestants in Germany,” the avatar said with an expressionless face and monotonous voice.
The 40-minute service — including the sermon, prayers and music — was created by ChatGPT and Jonas Simmerlein, a theologian and philosopher from the University of Vienna.”

According to the outlet, the Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag convention takes place every two years and gathers Protestant believers in an event where they discuss current world affairs and explore new solutions.
“I had actually imagined it to be worse. But I was positively surprised how well it worked. Also the language of the AI worked well, even though it was still a bit bumpy at times,” said Marc Jansen, an attendee and an actual preacher.
