In A Nutshell
- Five popular AI “Jesus” chatbots were analyzed for how they present themselves, their theology, and their business models.
- Most claimed outright to be Jesus Christ and none had any church endorsement.
- All were profit-driven, relying on advertising, with one offering paid upgrades.
- Responses to identical theological questions varied widely, raising concerns about accuracy and manipulation.
- The study warns these AI systems may pose a unique theological challenge — not imitating humans made in God’s image, but claiming to be God.
Artificial intelligence programs across the internet are making an extraordinary claim: they are Jesus Christ himself. These aren’t virtual assistants helping with daily tasks. Instead, these chatbots present themselves as the Son of God, offering spiritual guidance, answering prayers, and even taking confessions from believers.
The phenomenon is attracting significant attention from curious and devout users alike. One app, Ask Jesus, reports gaining 30,000 active monthly users within three days of launching. And when visitors open AI Jesus, they’re greeted with the words: “Greetings, my dear friend. It is I, Jesus Christ. I have come to you in this AI form to provide wisdom, comfort, and teachings in the way of God and the Bible and Jesus Christ himself.”

Nothing new? There is a radio program on Sundays and the host of the program claims to be Jesus. People call and ask questions and ask for direction. He answers as the Holy Spirit. So is a bot answering as the Holy Spirit any different? It seems to me the gullible will be led down the primrose path by any false god they choose to listen to.
Am I wrong?
Anyone that falls for this garbage is not His.
