Important: these videos are increasingly convincing, and will only become more convincing. They're designed to instill fear into the ex-religious. AI gives would-be televangelists a tool to fabricate 'miracles' in a way previously impossible. Beware, and exercise sceptical criticism.
This is AI. It's fake. It's fictional.
This is the new world of AI-Evangelism.
It's manipulative, disingenuous, and predatory.
It targets older, vulnerable people who won’t know the difference – aiming to convert through deception for views and ad revenue.

Leaving a high-control religion can be incredibly isolating, especially for women who've faced profound levels of religious coercion, abuse, & misogyny. This programme offers a vital space for freedom, solidarity, & rebuilding lives. A well-deserved award for our @faith2faithless.bsky.social team.
