The news has circulated on social networks that there is a application that uses artificial intelligence that allows you to “talk” to God. Faced with criticism from thousands of users, the creators of this tool tried to indicate that they developed it with the best intentions.
This is how “Text With Jesus” works
According to its developers, the ‘Text With Jesus’ application is aimed at the faithful and believers of the Christian and Catholic tradition who seek spiritual guidance and the consolation of the sacred scriptures that contain the word of God.
Thus, the responses issued by the technological resource are based on verses from the Bible, which makes the experience the closest to the faith of Christ and to all religions based on said holy book.
According to the creators, the app is not intended to replace any divine communication, nor to intervene with spiritual entities, they only seek to find more tangible comfort for the faithful through Artificial Intelligence.
“It is not intended to replace direct communication with divine entities, it does not seek to provide divine knowledge or possess any form of divine consciousness, it uses language to generate responses based on a vast corpus of biblical and religious texts.”

You will not only be able to talk to Jesus Christ
The application simulates a conversation with Jesus of Nazareth, but you can also come into contact with the holy family, that is, Joseph and Mary, with the 12 apostles and with some prophets. In addition, to make the experience more realistic, you also have the option to consult Satan, although to speak with him, you must access the paid option of the app.
This application has not caused the best reaction in networks despite the explanation provided by its developers. Many users have formally petitioned Google to remove the tool because the creators are trying to profit from a religion.
