On this episode of The Spectacle Podcast, hosts Scott McKay and Melissa Mackenzie discuss the debacle of Trump’s AI photo and the pushback by religious conservatives — some who have even deemed the president as the Antichrist. They also discuss Trump’s unconventional strategy using AI throughout his term, and how that plays a role in the Iran war. Scott and Melissa also discuss the implications of new developments within AI to be more religious, such as the creation of an AI Jesus that can interact with users for a fee.
