Church uses AI-generated audio clip using the voice of Charlie Kirk

Charlie Kirk
  • A church in Texas played an AI-generated audio clip using the voice of Charlie Kirk, who died on 10 September.
  • Pastor Jack Graham presented the minute-long clip during a service at Prestonwood Baptist Church on Sunday, 14 September.
  • The AI audio reassured the congregation that Kirk was 'fine' and urged them against division, stating, 'The enemy wants chaos, fear, and retaliation. Don't give it to them.'
  • The clip also encouraged churchgoers to believe that 'America and free speech are worth it' and to 'get back in the fight', receiving a standing ovation.
