Jack Graham and Sen. Ted Cruz are among the masses eulogizing the activist with AI.

On Sunday, Sept. 14, a miraculous thing happened at a North Texas church: Charlie Kirk gave a speech despite being assassinated just days before.

It didn’t matter that, as Pastor Jack Graham told the congregation at Prestonwood Baptist Church before the speech, it had been completely AI-generated. The fabricated speech got a standing ovation from the congregation. It’s unclear who first generated the video, but it was played by three other churches across the country over the weekend, according to Religion News Service. The video appears to have been generated by a prompt asking an AI to create a speech in which the late activist reacts to his own death.

    He should learn that two bads does not make one good. This is not multiplying negative numbers.

    I actually used to attend Prestonwood back when I was in middle and high school before I became an atheist.

    It was clearly in the business of making money, and business was good. Back then they were more careful and subtle about mixing politics and religion, but it was definitely there.

    Instead of outright endorsing GWB for President they would say things like: we need to make sure we are electing godly men to make sure we bring faith back to the White House and Congress to get this country back on track.

    I haven’t been there in over 20 years but have to drive by it often. Still feel disgusted that I was ever a part of that place. I could see the seeds of Christian nationalism being planted in the youth programs and hear it in the sermons.

      I can think of nothing that would offend me more than for someone else to put words in mouth or even to use my likeness to read something I wrote. If I’m dead let me stay fucking dead!

    So, a Nazi church. I remember when xtians pretended they were in opposition to Nazis because something something “they were pagans” or “they were atheists”.

    Still laugh that they picked this guy as their leader. With looks like that, you would think he hated god.
