People left baffled as Joe Rogan discusses Jesus coming back in AI form in wild ramble

People have been left completely baffled after listening to Joe Rogan discussing Jesus returning in the form of artificial intelligence.

AI is developing at an unprecedented rate, and is expected to make some big changes to how we live our lives in the coming years.

Just this week, Elon Musk told investor and entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath that he believes in less than 20 years, AI will be so advanced that people won't even need to work.

He said: "I think it will actually be that people don't have to work at all.

"And it may not be that far in the future.

"Maybe only, I don't know, 10 - I'd say less than 20 years. My prediction is that in less than 20 years working will be optional, working at all will be optional, like a hobby pretty much.

"Look, obviously, people can play this back in 20 years and say, 'Look, Elon made this ridiculous prediction and it's not true,' but I think it will turn out to be true that in less than 20 years, maybe even in as little as 10 or 15 years, the advancements in AI and in robotics will bring us to the point where working is optional in the same way that you can grow your own vegetables in your garden, or you can go to the store and buy vegetables."

There are some pretty big claims being made about AI, and Rogan has added to this further by suggesting that Jesus could come back with the help of AI.

Speaking on the podcast, Joe Rogan: The Truth About Aliens, Rogan said: "Jesus was born out of a virgin mother. What's more virgin than a computer? If Jesus does return, even if Jesus was a physical person in the past, you don't think he could return as artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence could absolutely return as Jesus.

"Not just return as Jesus but return with all the powers of Jesus."

People were pretty baffled by Rogan's comments, with one writing on the clip: "This isn't a thought experiment; it's an absurd, deliberately provocative joke masquerading as profound revelation. Comparing the Virgin Mary to a computer chip is peak spiritual and cultural degradation."

A second said: "What is this? Jesus is a person, the actual Son of God. This person promised his return bodily, visible globally. (Matt 24). What you are describing is perhaps yet another false Christ, but certainly not the actual Son."

"I missed that part in the Bible," another added.

It seems like it's not the first time Rogan has spoken about a similar topic.

On Reddit, someone reshared a clip of him on his podcast, explaining: "I've often thought about the parallels of religion and what's currently going on, one of them being like Christ was born of a virgin mother.

"What else is born without a mother? AI is born without a mother.

"Christ is going to come back, AI is coming."
