This is insane

Japan is running out of monks so they're training AI robots called "buddharoid" to replace them

- Japan’s temples are closing because fewer priests are available to run them + aging population

- The solution: Robots trained on 1000+ years of buddhist scripture that answer your spiritual questions

- The robot even sits in religious prayer positions like an actual monk does.

You can literally have a conversation on life's deepest dilemmas with a robot.
