Much to the surprise of some, it appears that Christians are occasionally capable of deriving religious feeling from mechanical ritual. A Catholic church in Lucerne installed an AI theologian which answered questions from behind a graven image, and about two-thirds of those who interacted with it reported a "spiritual experience." Others were less impressed, and a local journalist found some of the god-bot's prounouncements "trite, repetitive and exuding a wisdom reminiscent of calendar clichés," which suggests that AI theology may yet find its place in the Church of England.
