Users seek dating advice from ‘AI Jesus’ chatbot

San Francisco: Thousands of social media users are tuning in to the video live-streaming platform Twitch to chat with an AI chatbot that has been trained to imitate Jesus Christ.

The chatbot, which goes by the name "AI Jesus," is available 24/7 to answer all sorts of questions, most of them related to relationships and gaming. According to Quartz, the chatbot's algorithm allows AI Jesus to answer questions in a calm, monotone voice, as his mouth appears to lip-sync the words.

AI Jesus has returned to Twitch after being temporarily suspended from the platform on June 15 for reasons that remain unknown.
