Someone trained an AI neural network to generate Apocalyptic Bible prophecies

As if Reality2020 wasn't horrifying enough, George Davila fed the King James Bible into a Boltzmannian natural-language processing model. He then asked the AI to write in the King James style about three topics: the Plague, Caesar, and the End of Days.

Let's take a look at one of those results:

The End of Days.
And the ships that was before the temple and he said, Thou shalt not cause to be cleansed.

And the LORD said unto me, Take heed that the LORD am a refuge from the beginning.

And the angel of the Lord also was upon him.
And he shall come against him, and said, As the LORD liveth, that he might be fulfilled which was spoken, he said, Thou are the spirit of your good works that ye have not seen, nor any thing
of the service thereof, and a certain censer, and the sin offering, and the posts thereof were
displeased with the dead of her father's house.

And the LORD said unto me, I will take away the feast of the
LORD, and another shall walk in the way to the ground, and set it in the
streets, and destroyed them with the temple of the LORD, and will surely die, and will give to the sound of the glory of the LORD thy
God, and the wickedness of the fathers full of privily for the princes
thereof.

And when they were come out of the world to come, there came a voice from the dead, and from the city of Saul.

And the LORD said unto me, These are the days of the world unto the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring thee to the work of
the LORD your God, that the LORD shall be killed, and the commandment of God and our Saviour the LORD, who hath taken away the
inhabitants of the world, which is of the seven anointing oil; and the angel of the LORD said unto him, We have not forsaken me, and I will
deliver thee with strength, and not of the dead, but the word of the LORD and of the LORD be not as nothing, but
as a thief any more.

And he said unto them, Depart ye for him, and see the mouth of all the remission of death.

O LORD, thou hast commanded them that the LORD should come and take away
thy priests and the gospel of the LORD thy God, and the remnant of thy
fall not the voice of the LORD your God, and who is wiser, and have not obeyed the voice out of the same
exceeding commandments, in darkness, and the great host of the house of Israel; As soon as I am a
certain day, as he spake unto them, and stood before the people that were with him, and took the book, and went away the sound of the sea together, and found the people began to reign, and
remembered the word of the LORD by the prophets.

And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, prophesy against thee, and thou shalt
even deal with the saints, and the LORD shall bring the bond of
God to him from the beginning.

Seems legit. You can check out the whole 60,000 word "A.I. Jesus" corpus on GitHub, if you're not already feeling doom-y enough.
