Ruth Kadiri, a Nigerian actress and filmmaker, made the remark on Monday, April 15, 2026, stating that she received what she described as a spiritual message linking divine guidance to artificial intelligence.

In the video, she warned that many Christians are increasingly turning to AI tools for solutions rather than seeking guidance through spiritual means.

She expressed concern that such dependence on technology could lead to emotional emptiness over time, urging believers to remain grounded in their faith.

“A lot of Christians are starting to take their problems to AI… and they are starting to forget,” she said, cautioning against replacing spiritual connection with digital assistance.

Ruth Kadiri further advised Christians not to neglect the role of the Holy Spirit, which she described as a divine helper capable of meeting emotional and personal needs.

The comment has triggered mixed reactions online, with some supporting her perspective while others disagreed with the comparison between spirituality and technology.
