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?
Quelle surprise… It’s good business reinforcing the belief that he is, though. I recommend the book God’s Bankers by Gerald Posner. A lot of interesting insight into what works less as a religion and more as a nation state.
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.
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.
Firstly there’s no evidence what so ever that the current generation of AI is a pathway to a general intelligence or anything god like.
Secondly it seems to me that most decisions are about preserving money and traditions and positions of power - faith in “God” is a different thing entirely and maybe the church wouldn’t be so awful if they were focused on that.
Finally I don’t really think the emergence of a man made god-tier intelligence would really challenge believers in “God”. As in, I can see the connection logically but any Christian will tell you their belief is based on faith - it’s not logical.
I’m glad the pope is anti-AI and all, but it hardly makes up for everything else the church is responsible for, no?

He claims to be the literal voice of god but can’t change the church’s behavior? I guess that god isn’t so omnipotent after all…

He got the voice but not the balls.
People like you are so annoying, why can’t you just be happy about small wins?
Because being a victim of bigotry and abuse sucks.

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

Jesus… Wow, what a shit take
Im not referring to LLMs numbnuts.
Oh you’re referring to a mythical super intelligence which will surely emerge after the next round of funding?
Just one more data center bro, promise
Do you really, honestly believe that’s pope Leo XIV’s underlying reasoning here?
Why wouldn’t it be? All decisions are about the preservation of the church.
Because it’s really daft on a number of levels.
