AI photos have taken Facebook by storm. So many are very obviously fucked up looking and not real, but the sheer stupidity of the masses shines as strong as ever. I even stumbled into a weird genre of AI-generated pictures of motorcycles built entirely from wood planks, usually with a toddler sitting on one and a caption like "Make this myself!", and the comments section is absolutely bursting with morons praising how wonderful the craftsmanship is. The only part of these photos that even looks life-like is the kid. And yet..
I got midjourney to make this to see if it could make a realistic photo of the crucifixion, I should start telling Christians that it's a still taken from the Chronovisor the Vatican has hidden away.
The ropes going nowhere? The weird perspective? The incredibly elongated forearm? Or the fact that it's a white Jesus that looks like a carving which isn't at all accurate?
I've seen something similar in YouTube shorts. AI generated white jesus avatars with TTS speech talking about how if you love christ you have to comment "amen" to be saved.
Acts 16:25-31 ESV
[25] About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, [26] and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened. [27] When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. [28] But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” [29] And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. [30] Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” [31] And they said, “Comment 'Amen' on my latest TikTok, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
the feed is full of those AI Jesus pictures like this and thousands of comments saying “Amen”.
I'm worried. Should I be worried?
2000+ years ago, literature didn't exist in the way it does today. A book was only writable/readable to those that were literate, whom were in the overwhelming minority. I can appreciate how such an incomprehensible thing, said to contain the very word of god, might be considered practically magic in its own right. Today, all that's demystified mostly because nearly all of us understand that writing is just a form of technology, and learn so as small children.
Now, we have a brand new incomprehensible thing that can churn out religious iconography with the push of a button.
Ahhhhhhh, I get it. JESU 1 had problems so he had to go to JESU 2 to heal him. Unfortunately JESU 2 also had problems that were beyond the combined powers of him and JESU Prime which caused JESU 3 to come into existence. So this here is JESU 23, he's just fixed JESU 22's shit but he's a bit unsteady walking on water with the extra limbs so he's off to see JESU 24.
Flood water's risin'. Clearly, they're headed to Noah's boat. That and Korean bus-drivers were deemed the only truly selfless and chosen ones for the rapture to come.
