Bible Verses of the Day
31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. [Matthew 6:31-33, ESV]

We’ve seen AI chatbots in religious apps before, but a chapel in Lucerne, Switzerland, has gone further — putting artificial intelligence inside a confessional. DW’s report shows the “AI Jesus” in action dispensing machine-generated spiritual advice via an avatar visible inside the wooden enclosure. Parishioners sitting on the other side interact with the AI by pressing a button and voicing their question or concern.
The tech, developed at the local university, is described by the chapel’s theologian as an experiment intended to spark discussion. He points out one advantage: AI can be available 24/7, unlike human pastors.

A new study has revealed that the large language model ChatGPT Plus achieved better diagnostic accuracy than physicians working alone. The research, completed by academics at UVA Health, included 50 physicians in family, internal, and emergency medicine who put ChatGPT Plus to the test.
Half of the participants were randomly assigned to use the tool to diagnose complex cases, while the other half relied solely on conventional methods like medical reference sites and Google.
The resulting diagnoses were then compared between the two groups, with similar accuracy. But it was when ChatGPT performed alone that it outperformed both groups.
