AI, a new chatbot based on AI, “AI Jesus”, offers consumers the opportunity to make a video call to the digital version of Jesus Christ. The new platform covers aspects of spirituality, technology and consumerism and presents a satirical reflection of spiritual consumerism.
When someone enters the site, they meet with Jesus’ 3D avatar that advises but also sells the product. For example, when asked what the meaning of life is, Aye jesus Highlighting the importance of love and understanding and then recommended to buy a smart lighting system to improve personal journey.
“We want Aye Jesus to feel that this is the real Jesus,” the creators said, Ben Pollinghorn, Zach Bishop and Chris Chapman. Creative boom reported“We fix their personality and style of speaking in a way that we hope we are authentic.”
Instagram Bio AI Jesus’ page mentions, “You speak. He answers. He makes you a product. Gyanodaya. Support. Amen.”
Artists explain that this service is not an accurate representation of the character of the Bible, but a dreamy experience for contemporary religious practices.
“The product endorsement began as a joke. But the more we leaned into it, the more we realized that it was revealing something deep. It became a satire on spiritual consumerism. And this made the entire project feel more powerful.”
And this is so powerful and unnecessarily. While Aye Jesus is often cheerful, there is a real depth under the digital rebellion. The artists have created a delicate balance between reverence and ridicule, to deliberately keep things out in a lump sum condemnation.
