(Premier Christian News) An engineer has used artificial intelligence (AI) to produce a ‘Jesus robot’.
George Durendal, based in New York, said he used a natural-language processing system to teach the robot the King James Version of the Bible.
“I like to describe this A.I. as locking a baby in a room with nothing but a Bible for 15 years. You then open up the room 15 years later and find that it’s learned to read, speak, and write using nothing but the Bible,” Durendal wrote in a blog post.
“More specifically, the A.I. is an Boltzmannian natural-language processing model that tries to replicate the style of the King James Bible without quite copying it.”
The AI Jesus was initially taught to write about three different subjects: ‘The Plague’, ‘Caesar’ & ‘The End of Days’. Durendal said the robot took some artistic liberties, evidenced by random texts and glitches.
