A Rabbi Built an AI Version of Himself–Here’s What Happened

What happens when you test an AI version of a rabbi—live on camera—against the real thing?

Host Shabbos Kestenbaum pulls out his phone mid-conversation and puts Rabbi Simon Jacobson’s own AI chatbot to the ultimate test. First, he asks the real rabbi. Then he asks the AI. And the room goes completely silent.

The AI’s answer is so precise, so theologically rich, and so unexpectedly humble—Rabbi Jacobson can’t believe it. And then comes the moment nobody saw coming:

“Does this count as complimenting yourself?”

This clip covers:
Can an AI fulfill the ancient Jewish obligation to “make for yourself a rabbi”?
The live on-air test: real rabbi vs. AI rabbi—who answers better?
The AI’s stunning answer on idolatry, digital gods, and human responsibility.
The moment Rabbi Jacobson admits the AI said it better than he did.
And the one fear he couldn’t shake: “It may determine that I’m not needed anymore.”
