Wow, this is pretty astounding. 48% of practicing Christians say they would “trust AI with their spiritual growth.” 44% of Millennials say that AI’s spiritual guidance is “as trustworthy as a pastor’s”.
It shouldn’t have surprised me that a group of religious people who are desperately seeking simple, clear, unambiguous answers to difficult questions are falling for the machine that gaslights people.
This study (n=1514) was done by Barna Group, an Evangelical Christian polling group.
