AI filmmaker PJ Accetturo has set the internet ablaze with a series of short, AI-generated vlogs reimagining Bible characters as modern-day influencers. Think Daniel going live from the lion’s den, Joseph showing off his technicolor OOTD, or David hyping up a virtual crowd before “yeeting this stone” at Goliath.

Predictably, reactions are split. Some viewers love the concept, seeing it as a way to make the Bible more engaging for a digital-native generation. Others say it’s cringey at best, sacrilegious at worst.
Creative takes on Scripture aren’t new—just ask the Christian entertainment industry or whoever greenlit that Gen Z Bible translation. But Accetturo’s clips are striking a nerve at a time when artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly embedded in daily life, raising questions about what happens when tech meets theology.
Either way, this likely won’t be the last time AI offers its own spin on the Gospel.
