Users on social media have warned that tech is 'out of control', after watching a clip of AI Jesus answering questions about his favourite film.
Many tech moguls have previously warned that artificial intelligence is growing faster than humans can control.
Platforms now enable users to take the face of pretty much anyone, and make a clip of them speaking as though it was real.
And while it's quite a terrifying thought for a lot of people, others are using the new technology to scam and commit crime.
But one user in particular has sparked criticism online, after taking a picture of Jesus and using that to create a clip of him talking about his favourite film.

The video is very realistic, as though Jesus himself is sat on a podcast chatting about entertainment.
But many Christians have branded the clip as 'blasphemy', while others just suggested the world is 'doomed' by the technological advancements.
In the clip, AI Jesus said: "What's my favourite movie? This is actually an interesting question because I get it a lot."

We're not exactly sure how that's possible, but, continue.
"And people expect me to answer you know the Passion of Christ, or King of Kings, or one of the more Jesus-y movies."
AI Jesus added: "But honestly, if you were publicly executed, would you wanna watch that at the end of a long day?"
The scarily realistic depiction of Jesus went onto admit that he wants to watch something that goes down 'pretty easy'.

"Honestly, favourite movie of all time," he repeated.
"Like I will always watch it if it's on TV, Dumb and Dumber."
AI Jesus went onto say that the film is his idea of 'perfect'.

But many users in the comments noted that his laugh was slightly off, as his mouth didn't move as he chuckled.
In a whole turn of events, which you see at the end of the video, it turns out that AI Jesus is actually on a podcast with an AI version of the devil - who admits his favourite film is Passion of Christ.
People were far from impressed with the creation, as one said: "We are definitely in the end times."
"Good thing we Christians are taught to forgive," another added.

Another said: "May God have mercy on the people involved in creating this. And, Jesus is also human but this is not even funny because it’s so inaccurate and illogical."
But one person came up with quite a unique idea, as they wrote: "I would tune into AI podcasts with historical figures being interviewed no question."
No doubt there would be some real issues with that.
