~ ~ ~ < p > In Finland, the Lutheran Church of St. Paul first conducted a church service organized mainly with the help of artificial intelligence tools (AI). About this & nbsp; writes & nbsp; ap news.
< P > It is reported that the experimental Shi service has been involved in church in the northeast Helsinki more than 120 people, which is much more than in the usual weekday. Some people even came from other cities.
< p >For the service, the AI wrote sermons and some songs, played the story of the fight against good with evil, made music and created visual effects. Jesus was shown in a mantle with long hair and beard, while Satan was dressed in more modern clothes, but with a gloomy face. Before the flock also spoke the pastors of the church and former President of Finland, who died in 1986, who read excerpts from the Old Testament.
< p > “usually when people talk about AI, they say that AI can do in the future. But the future is already coming. … AI can do everything that, according to people, it can do in about 10 years, & mdash; said the author of the initiative, Reverend Petya Kopperovynen.
< p > According to the clergyman, the idea came to him from the conference on artificial intelligence and religion in Geneva. After that he worked with various AI tools to make a 45-minute service, including Chatgpt-4o from Open Ai.
< p >The clergy and parishioners stated that they liked it, but noted that they did not consider this format a full alternative to “living” worship. The believers said that the service seemed to them unusual, interesting and entertaining, but sometimes confusing. The speech was fast and was difficult to keep track of.< p > “It was quite interesting and fun, but it was not like a mass or service. … it was like something removed. I didn't feel that they were talking to me”, & mdash; noted Parish Taru Nieminan.
< p > Reverend also noted that AI, as a rule, reluctantly wrote religious texts. Chatgpt initially refused to write a dialogue between Jesus and Satan and agreed only after Copperovynen assured him that he was a Lutheran pastor and that there was nothing wrong with writing such content.
~ < P > In addition, Chatgpt also refused to give sins to sneake or blessing. Reverend Channel, Vicar of St. Paul Church, called this restriction important because it separates things that are “very intimate and religious.”
< p > According to Copieroin, the need for the human factor & mdash; This is one of the reasons why AI is unlikely to replace real pastors. He also confessed to seeing how he said on the screen that he had never pronounced in real life was “creepy”.
< p > However, clergy believe that there is a place for the church. St. Paul's Church already uses it for accounting, and Reverend Kopperovynen sometimes turns to Catgpt to help him to make a sermon or when he needs to find poems on a particular topic.
