Need spiritual guidance? Gurus join chatbot trend as people turn to AI for answers

An increasing number of spiritual seekers are finding that artificial intelligence is giving them non-judgmental access to spiritual insights. This trend is growing, notably in Hinduism, where gurus are considered essential for spiritual growth. Apps like GitaGPT provide guidance based on sacred texts. Critics argue AI lacks the wisdom and accountability of human gurus. However, some real-life gurus are embracing AI to reach more followers. While AI offers convenience, experts say it can't replace the human soul's connection.
