I'm old fashioned and low tech, I see God in paraeidolia and coincidence like my forebears did.

I see two possible endings to this.

These "modern religious leaders" wouldn't also happen to run mega churches and pay themselves millions and millions of dollars, would they?

Can AI solve the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? This is the next big question the UN must answer.

And it's not even new or innovative. This was literally a feature of TempleOS (aka LoseThos), the operating system written over a decade in Assembly by one person. IIRC it produced random text and he claimed God spoke through it to him. That was like 10 years ago

Can God speak through flatulence?

This is so dumb

TelAIevangelists are a real possibility.

There was a long-ago story of an unprecedentedly powerful AI to which experimenters' 1st question was 'is there a God?'. 'Yes', it replied: 'Now there is'.
