Not to be confused with Al pastor, a Mexican style of barbequed meat similar to Doner kebab.

Hands down the superior product.
I would trust Al pastor (the food) more than this thing with my spiritual needs.

Is there a reason why we need to make ai as dystopian as possible?

This is the first thing I thought of as well! (and am now hungry…)
Or A1 Pastor, who either preaches of battleship or who admonishes steak sauce or who counsels a flock at just one end of just one airport terminal.
So is this an LLM trained on the bible?
Gwion Gwion Dreamtime stories.
Is this a parody? I genuinely can't tell if this is an actual product (which, if this is indeed a parody, makes it a great one in my opinion)
> Is AI Pastor affiliated with any religion? AI Pastor is non-denominational and supports various religious beliefs and practices.

I look forward to my daily pastafarian devotional.

I’m not going to lie, this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Why should anyone take spiritual advice from something that literally has no soul? It’s like taking advice on how to shoot a basketball from someone with no hands.

Sounds demonic. 0/10, would not recommend.

I would argue that many pastors are just as soulless and only in it for making a living. And that some are just outright dangerous.
And?
And that such an AI might help an elderly in a difficult time while guaranteeing that it won't abuse children.
> that literally has no soul

why would you think so?

It just pops up "Coming Soon" if I attempt to use it.

Hoax?

Douglas Adams introduced us to the Electric Monk in one of his books. Like a VCR watches TV for us so we don’t have to, the Electric Monk believes things for us so we don’t have to.
My Electric Monk will believe things for me though - this seems positively primitive
Dedicated down to the username. We’re not worthy!
They are missing obvious killer features like exorcisms. I hope they add it to the next version.

Can you also select on which instance you run the prayer generation? Would love it if it ran in the basement of the vatican and the pope blessed the nvidia cluster with some holy water.

Imagining for a moment this isn’t satire, what a fantastic way to gather blackmail worthy intel. Convince people to confess their sins to the “pastor”, threaten to email their partners/parents with what they’ve said.
