End Of Christianity: Church Introduces AI Jesus Where You Can Go and Confess Yours

St. Peter’s Church in Lucerne, Switzerland, is using an AI-powered hologram of Jesus to take confessions as part of an art project called “Deus in Machina” (God in a Machine). Worshipers can interact with the digitally-rendered Jesus, voicing their concerns and receiving responses. While the installation is temporary, the church suggests that such technology could assist pastors in the coming days. Despite two-thirds of users reportedly finding the experience “spiritual,” some critics have dismissed the AI Jesus as a gimmick offering generic advice. A post shared on the social media platform X (earlier Twitter) shows how the AI Jesus works:

According to a report by Daily Mail, housed within a traditional confessional booth, the installation features a screen displaying the face of Jesus, which is animated in sync with computer-generated speech as the AI responds to visitor inquiries. This AI Jesus can communicate in 100 languages, catering to Lucerne’s diverse tourist population.
Upon entering the booth, visitors are greeted with a message advising them against disclosing personal information and acknowledging the use of the service at their own risk. Many visitors have reportedly engaged with the AI to discuss scripture or seek spiritual guidance.

What worshippers said about AI Jesus

In a statement to DW one worshipper said: “I was surprised, it was so easy, and though it’s a machine, it gave me so much advice.”

“I asked about the spiral of violence, how to break one. The answer: through prayer and not seeking retribution,” added another user.

Meanwhile, a third user noted: “He was able to reaffirm me in my ways of going about things and he was able to help me with questions I had like how I can help other people to understand him better and come closer to him.”
