Lauren Jackson , The New York Times; FINDING GOD in the APP STORE
"God works in mysterious ways — including through chatbots. At least, that’s what many people seem to think.
On religious apps, tens of millions of people are confessing to spiritual chatbots their secrets: their petty vanities and deepest worries, gluttonous urges and darkest impulses. Trained on religious texts, the bots are like on-call priests, imams or rabbis, offering comfort and direction at any time. On some platforms, they even purport to channel God."
