A tech company has set up a new platform that allows users to have conversations with an AI avatar of Jesus Christ.
Just Like Me is a tech company that creates AI versions of certain celebrities, experts and personalities. According to the company, these “digital twins” are intended to “provide guidance, mentorship, support and friendship” to users of the site.
Users can pay to have “video calls” with AI versions of personalities such as MySpace co-founder Chris DeWolfe, deceased political commentator Charlie Kirk, or fictional characters such as Santa Claus.
How the model was trained
The latest personality to be added to the website is an avatar of Jesus Christ. The AI version of Jesus is said to offer words of prayer and encouragement, speak a variety of languages, and recall prior conversations with Just Like Me users.
Just Like Me CEO Chris Breed said their model was trained on both the King James Bible and its understanding of scripture comes from sermons given by various preachers. Visually, the avatar was based on actor Jonathon Roumie’s portrayal of Jesus in the TV show The Chosen.
Just Like Me charges $1.99 per minute to speak to the avatar. Alternatively, a package deal priced at $49.99 gives users 45 minutes with the AI Jesus each month.
