JD Vance Warns AI Has 'Satanic' Risks, Rates Heaven Odds at 7 or 8

Summary
On a 1-to-10 scale, JD Vance said his chances of getting into heaven were a 7 or 8 as he used a faith podcast to say he would not be shocked if humanity were living in the end times.
AI was his sharpest warning: Vance said using chatbots for marriage counseling can short-circuit human empathy and called some applications spiritually dark, even "kind of satanic."
Trump's 2024 survival in Butler, Pennsylvania, also figured in Vance's account of faith in public life; he said the near-miss showed providence at work, not mere coincidence.
The vice president separately defended Trump's deleted AI-generated Jesus image, saying the president was joking rather than trying to mock God.
