The Violet Crown City Church in Austin used AI technology, ChatGPT, to create an entire Sunday service, a concept thought up by Pastor Jay Cooper. Cooper said the AI created a 15-minute service that he then had to fill out and 'beef up' with additional prompts.
While the service was successful, both Cooper and church attendee Ernest Chambers agreed that the service lacked a key element: emotion. Cooper stressed the importance of the 'human touch' and the 'messiness of humanity' in worship, and stated that the AI-generated service is not planned to be repeated.
