For Christians, Easter is a time to remember how Jesus was killed on the cross before returning three days later. But now, around 2,000 years later, the messiah has returned once more - this time as an AI influencer. The AI Jesus chatbot allows you to video call the son of God in real-time from the comfort of your computer. But faithful followers should be warned that there is a fairly major catch. This AI chatbot has been built not only to deliver words of wisdom and comfort, but also to advertise products. Designed as a'satire on spiritual consumerism', the bizarre website's creators say that the AI Jesus will always make sure to suggest a'strangely fitting product'.

An AI video based on a famous religious artifact has revealed what Christ may have looked like. The Shroud of Turin is an ancient cloth which many Christians believe was used to wrap Jesus' mutilated body after he died on the cross. Photos of the cloth were fed into Midjourney, an AI image generator, which then produced a lifelike image and video of Christ blinking, smiling and praying as he may have once did before the crucifixion around 33AD. The clip was posted on X, where users have called being touted as'the true face of Jesus.' However, others have pointed out that the technology made Jesus appear white when he would have been Middle Eastern with a darker complexion.

With his flowing locks, long beard, and worn robes, Jesus is one of the most instantly recognisable figures in the Western world. So it comes as no surprise that his face is also regularly spotted in inanimate objects. This is due to'face pareidolia' - a common brain phenomenon in which a person sees faces in random images or patterns. 'Sometimes we see faces that aren't really there,' explained Robin Kramer, Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology, at University of Lincoln, in an article for The Conversation. 'You may be looking at the front of a car or a burnt piece of toast when you notice a face-like pattern. 'This is called face pareidolia and is a mistake made by the brain's face detection system.'

From slices of toast to patches of clouds, Jesus's face has a habit of appearing in some unusual places. But this mind-boggling optical illusion might be the most bizarre appearance yet.

It is striking when you find yourself living at major inflection points of history. After all, there is no such thing as quiet times. The 1990s, for instance, seem like a distant quiet time. But in that period, ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Rwanda were happening. O.J. Simpson's "trial of the century" has faded into the mist of history.
