From ChatGPT to a virtual girlfriend, a range of weird and wonderful chatbots have emerged in recent months amid the proliferation of artifical intelligence (AI). 

But the latest AI-powered app is arguably the most bizarre yet. 

The app, called Text With Jesus, is designed for ‘devoted Christians seeking a deeper connection with the Bible’s most iconic figures’, according to its developers. 

As the name suggests, users can ‘text’ with Jesus, as well as a number of other figures including Mary, Joseph, Peter and Matthew. 

And while the basic app is free, users can opt to pay $2.99/month (£2.35/month) to speak to Satan. 

Text With Jesus was trained on all publicly available versions of the Bible, including the King James Version, the New International Version and the New American Standard Bible, according to its developers. 

Users can chat to their chosen figure through a chat function, which strongly resembles Apple’s iMessage app. 

The AI will then respond with what it thinks is the most appropriate dialogue or guidance.
