Who created AI
Renowned preacher Reverend Tony Kiamah laughed off the idea that a church can have an AI Jesus in an exclusive interview with TUKO.co. ke.
“The church of Jesus Christ has always had enemies, and there will always be people who will purport to be Jesus himself like Wanyonyi. There will always be people trying to get away from the truth. We have not seen anything yet, and they will still come up with new ones. God cannot be put in a box. Be careful that you are not deceived. Some of these nations don’t even believe in God himself. AI is not even mentioned in scripture, so it’s not even there; man created AI, not God,” he said.
