A video of a liberal preacher warning Christians against trusting the wealthy has been revealed to be Artificial Intelligence.
The ‘preacher’ delivered a message which was somewhat reminiscent of Jesus flipping tables in the temple, declaring: “Billionaires are the only minority we should be scared of, they’ve got the power to destroy this country! They don’t need your protection, they need your accountability!”
The AI fake garnered over one million views and thousands of likes, from people believing it to be an authentic sermon.
“This was the first video I’ve liked and scrolled past, and not noticed was fake,” commented one TikTok user.
“It’s getting scary,” replied another, “how can we know what’s real?”
The video is one example in a wave of Bible-inspired AI content, including a Text with Jesus chatbot, and social media videos of ‘interviews’ with Bible characters.
