Al取代牧師？ChatGPT布道

随着ChatGPT问世掀起AI聊天机器人热湖，外界好奇AI究竟能在哪些工作上取代人类，在德国巴伐利亚州纽伦堡市小镇福尔特的一座教堂，在9日就让ChatGPT化身为祭坛上方荧幕的讲师，替场中的信徒布道。全程40分钟，包括布道、祷告和音乐，皆由ChatGPT完成。

这项实验吸引了民众的好奇，不过亲身体验过后，有信徒认为AI的布道“缺乏灵魂”。

据美国社报道，维也纳大学的哲学家席莫莱因构思了这场别开生面的活动，他与ChatGPT一起合作，让ChatGPT以4种人类的形象在教堂祭坛上方荧幕中轮番现身，带领教众布道与唱诗歌。不过，荧幕上的AI化身表情呆板，语气也十分平缓单调。

54岁女教徒施密特表示，一开始对于Al布道十分好奇与兴奋，随着仪式进行，渐渐觉得越来越反感，因为AI化身没有灵魂也没有表现出情绪、没有肢体语言，语速快又单调，让她很难保持专心。

莫莱因认为，AI可以辅助，但终究无法代人类在宗教仪式中的地位，因为AI无法与教徒即时互动，也无法有任何立即的回馈，且AI也不像人类牧师，能与教徒发展出长期的情感连结。

Hundreds of Protestants attended a sermon in Nuremberg given by ChatGPT, which told them not to fear death

—Hundreds of protestants gathered in Nuremberg, Germany to hear a sermon written by ChatGPT.
—Multiple avatars controlled by ChatGPT delivered the sermon on a huge screen above the altar.
—During the sermon, ChatGPT told the congregation not to fear death.

The artificial intelligence chatbot asked the believers in the fully packed St. Paul’s church in the Bavarian town of Fuerth to rise from the pews and praise the Lord.

The ChatGPT chatbot, personified by an avatar of a bearded Black man on a huge screen above the altar,
then began preaching to the more than 300 people who had shown up on Friday morning for an experimental
Lutheran church service almost entirely generated by AI.

“Dear friends, it is an honor for me to stand here and preach to you as the first artificial intelligence at this
year’s convention of Protestants in Germany,” the avatar said with an expressionless face and monotonous
voice.

The 40-minute service — including the sermon, prayers and music — was created by ChatGPT] and Jonas
Simmerlein, a theologian and philosopher from the University of Vienna.

“I conceived this service — but actually I rather accompanied it, because I would say about 98% comes
from the machine,” the 29-year-old scholar told The Associated Press.

The entire service was “led” by four different avatars on the screen, two young women, and two young men.

At times, the AI-generated avatar inadvertently drew laughter as when it used platitudes and told the
churchgoers with a deadpan expression that in order “to keep our faith, we must pray and go to church
regularly.”

Some people enthusiastically videotaped the event with their cell phones, while others looked on more critically
and refused to speak along loudly during The Lord’s Prayer.

Heiderose Schmidt, a 54-year-old who works in IT, said she was excited and curious when the service started but
found it increasingly off-putting as it went along.

“There was no heart and no soul,” she said. “The avatars showed no emotions at all, had no body language
and were talking so fast and monotonously that it was very hard for me to concentrate on what they said.”

“But maybe it is different for the younger generation who grew up with all of this,” Schmidt added.

Marc Jansen, a 31-year-old Lutheran pastor from Troisdorf near the western German city of Cologne, brought a
group of teenagers from his congregation to St. Paul. He was more impressed by the experiment.
