3. Church in Texas utilises AI-generated service powered by ChatGPT

The Violet Crown City Church in Texas experimented with an AI-generated Sunday service using ChatGPT. As per a Wane.com report, Pastor Jay Cooper found AI capable of producing a 15-minute sermon but emphasised the necessity of human intervention. Churchgoer Ernest Chambers felt that AI lacked the ability to convey emotions like love and kindness. Cooper's experiment aimed to explore the concept of what is sacred and whether AI-generated content could communicate truth and spirituality, potentially prompting people to seek the sacred in other aspects of life.

Users can access AI-generated content via the "Ideas" tab, streamlining content creation. Pebble's CEO, Gabor Cselle, envisions a kinder and more engaging user experience. The service, formerly known as T2, is now open to all X users after raising $1.4 million in funding, with plans for further investment, advertising, and subscription sales in the future, Wired reported.
