"Schmidt said that he was not bothered by reports that the program gave 'trite,' 'clichéd' answers in response to spiritual questions, reportedly reminiscent of a 'motivational calendar.'"

But this seems to be the point! The meta-meaning of this "experimental art installation" is that technology can never substitute for flesh-and-blood relationships between clergy and laity. Are the makers of this installation just being coy, or do they not realize the meaning of what they've created?
