    We just need someone to declare every day that the rapture will happen. Then it won’t happen during their lifetime. After the person dies, appoint someone else as rapture declarer. Voila, no more rapture.

      A good application for AI. No need to worry about missed days or unexpected ends to lifetime.

          Any that’s capable of responding to the prompt “predict that the rapture will happen on <tomorrow’s date>.”

            You could just reuse the same canned response and put tomorrow’s date in there. It’s not like these rapture predictions are new / interesting anyway

              god requires the entity proclaiming the prediction to be capable of fucking up and saying something else, we need to task some theological researchers with figuring out precisely how capable of mistakes it must be

          The same thing it always does. In the best case, exactly what a program written by a human developer could do but with a high chance of hallucinations and an insane power draw nowhere near worth applying to the trivial problem at hand.

            Yeah that’s what I was thinking. I always see people using AI in place of much more simple solutions and it makes me wince every time
