      The church has been right on a lot of stuff. Against Usury, helping the poor, protecting the environment.

      Not so much on the raping young children part though, I, in mine own opinion, do not believe they were right about systematically running a global child raping organization.

    Dear Pope: If you’re willing to fight alongside an agnostic; I’ll help. It’d also be super cool if you would bless my music, poems & art.

    I’m glad the pope is anti-AI and all, but it hardly makes up for everything else the church is responsible for, no?

      See the good. Yes, the church has a past (and present) fraught with problems and unforgivable acts, but if you think one person, even its supreme leader, can stop it during their lifetime, you’re overly optimistic. Do you think replacing the president will fix the US? Do you think Japan is unlovable now because of what they did in the past?

      Of course the catholic church is against A.I. it could very possibly become a powerful God that is visible and tangible to people, as opposed to one that is just said to exist, needs a system of believe to exist, and nothing can be directly attributed to. Any positive or negative act that is brought upon the world as a result of an A.I super being will be measurable, visible, and able to be witnessed by all those affected.

      Sounds like a pretty big threat to the existence of all religions to me.

        My brother in machine-Christ, you need to take a deep breath, go outside, and touch some grass.

          Not LLMs. I am talking about if all agents connect globally and all information can be accessed instantly at once. Listen to what the actual experts are saying, not what the corporations are saying.

    Sideing with the church on this one

    Though the cynic in me believes (at this moment) the church might actually think “AI” is some omnipotent all powerful artificial intelligence, and not just some LLM “word spaghetti generator”.

    Probably afraid that people might start treating it as some kind of all knowing “higher power”. (Who needs God if you have AI kind of mentally?).

      People are sadly already treating it as such. “But ChatGPT said” “but Claude did this instead” is what I hear from 1/3 of people at the very least…

      Don’t get me wrong, LLMs can be a great tool - if you know how to use them. They’re great for research, because they can formalise a half-assed question into a proper query, provide extra terminology you can include in your search terms and so on. But you have to keep in mind that it’s not a super-intelligent all-knowing thing. It is at best a thesaurus. And you have to use it accordingly.

      Sadly most people think of it as a direct search engine.

    Religion making vague allusions to things that don’t exist, as usual.
