It would against the concept of "Imago Dei".
AI cannot truly bear the image of God since they're still lacking a soul and true moral consciousness.

But "divine intervention" could be regarded a natural occurrence of anything tat is regarded too coincidental to unlikely to ever happen, especially if it just so happens after praying to god.

Say a valley is about to get flooded and it's happening too fast for a proper evacuation. You pray for a miracle and just-so-happens a rockslide occurs and blocks the river, effectively saving the town. Is it a miracle or a coincidence?

And if the answer is yes, then if AI works with a mix of logic and random factors, then can't the random factors and coincidences be influenced if it's the same chances or divine-conduction as a more natural miracle?

I thought miracle is a divine intervention where God or any spiritual energy like holy spirits bypasses natural laws.
If it's not bypassing natural laws then it's not really a miracle. It's just simply a highly improbable coincidence.
Of course human brains are wired to find patterns and then sometimes labeling unexplained phenomena as miracles, whereas they are actually unknown scientific processes.

I guess so. I just find it a bit hard to tell the difference between miracles and life-saving coincidences. Yes there is account of statues blinking or crying, but even the Vatican is cracking down on these by stating if they're genuine or not.

In the last 165 years, of the over 8,000+ miracle healings reported at the Vatican's "Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes", only 70 have been officially deemed miracles by ecclesiastical authorities. Others were rejected.
The investigations themselves took years to be concluded.
For the example, the Eucharistic miracle of Vilakkannur in Kerala, India, was officially approved as miracle in May 2025, approximately 12 years after the phenomenon occurred.

The investigation included both scientific and theological investigations.
The phenomenon was unique as it did not involve bleeding tissue, but a luminous image that appeared on the host.

Kinda pokes holes in the legitimacy of the religion if God's miracles need to be fact checked.
