Episode Details

When Daniel couldn't find his good clothes or his iron on Yom Kippur, he stayed home for the first time in his life — then opened ChatGPT and asked for a prayer in the Orthodox tradition. What came back was brief, clear, and woven with details from his own year. This episode traces the real, funded world of AI prayer apps like Kavanah and Hallow, the AI church services staged in Fürth, Helsinki, and Lucerne, and the halachic split between the cheftza view (correctness is all that matters) and the gavra view (a prayer must issue from a person). Along the way: why Catholic canon law 767 makes the objection jurisdictional rather than theological, what the CCAR's responsum on AI authorship actually prohibits, and whether an audience of one changes the ethics entirely.
