this is insane lol japan is running out of monks... so they're training AI robots called "buddharoid" to replace them 😂 (im not joking): - japan's temples are closing because fewer priests are available to run them + aging population - the solution: chatgpt robots trained ont scripture that answer your spiritual questions - the robot even sits in religious prayer positions like an actual monk does. you can literally have a conversation on life's deepest dilemmas with a robot as smart as the dalai llama i cannot believe they're scaling these robots to run actual temples.
