"NEW YORK — Among sermon writers, there is fascination — and unease — over the fast-expanding abilities of artificial-intelligence chatbots. For now, the evolving consensus among clergy is this: Yes, they can write a passably competent sermon. But no, they can’t replicate the passion of actual preaching.
“It lacks a soul — I don’t know how else to say it,” said Hershael York, a pastor in Kentucky who also is dean of the school of theology and a professor of Christian preaching at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary."

"Faith leaders like Rabbi Joshua Franklin of the Jewish Center of the Hamptons in New York have begun to test the capabilities of ChatGPT and other AI chatbots for writing sermons. Many have found that it can in fact write a passably competent sermon, but cannot replicate the passion of actual preaching. "I told ChatGPT to write me a sermon and the voice of a rabbi of about a thousand words, about the Torah portion on the theme of intimacy and vulnerability," said Rabbi Franklin, who in late 2022 tested his congregation by giving a "plagiarized" sermon written by ChatGPT."
