AI chatbots increasingly used for spiritual guidance
An increasing number of people are turning to artificial intelligence chatbots for spiritual guidance and existential answers. Users report that AI offers a non-judgmental and highly accessible alternative to traditional human gurus, who may be difficult to contact or may provide perceived insensitive advice during times of grief.
These spiritual chatbots utilize large language models trained on vast datasets, including sacred Hindu texts such as the Bhagavad Gita. This trend is particularly notable in Hinduism, where the role of the guru is culturally significant for attaining moksha, or liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
In response to this technological shift, some prominent spiritual leaders are integrating AI into their practices. For example, Jaggi Vasudev, also known as Sadhguru, has released the Miracle of the Mind app, which includes an interactive AI feature that provides answers based on his specific teachings.
