"ChatGPT's Sermon on Overcoming Fear of Death Draws Crowds in German Church"

An AI chatbot named ChatGPT delivered a sermon to a packed Protestant church service in Germany, telling the congregation not to fear death. The service was part of the Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag event and was attended by over 300 people. University of Vienna theologian and philosopher Jonas Simmerlein used ChatGPT to craft the event, which lasted 40 minutes and featured prayers and music in addition to the sermon. The chatbot's sermon reportedly focused on leaving the past behind, paying attention to the present, not being afraid of death, and maintaining faith in Jesus Christ.
