meaning they had a big problem with it first.
I’m not so sure. I’ve read Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, and in it was an AI priest who was built to do all the believing for its population, so the population could go about their business without having to waste time believing in things.
I’d say this is somewhat the same.
Based Pope Leo
This sounds funny, but is actually a very serious issue. The main factor separating sermons by priests from sermons by any other people, e.g., homeless drug addicts, is that God is supposedly speaking through priests.
So whenever they give a speech, it’s treated as a speech from God. Clearly, AI has nothing to do with God if one exists, which means anyone attending such a sermon is being blatantly scammed. The Pope shouldn’t ‘ask’ anyone to stop using AI. He should immediately remove all of them from clerical service for defrauding people on the Church’s behalf.
Really? Trinitarians are really out there believing priests have God’s authority and speak for Him? That’s wild.
Clearly, AI has nothing to do with God if one exists,
Perhaps god if it does exist, lead developers to find LLM’s :P
God is not speaking though priests, at least not in the Roman Catholic Church, which is the one relevant to the post. Priests only act as Jesus Christ ‘in persona Christi’ during sacraments like the communion, for example.
but is actually a very serious issue.
… if you care about the integrity of Catholic Church. If you don’t care for their semantics or their whole belief this is quite irrelevent. I don’t think e.g. the economy will be impacted, by wether or not priests use ChatGPT for sermons.
Of course. Any issue is only serious for you if it impacts you and/or if you care about it.
I would argue that issues are serious if they impact everyone, otherwise not so much.
…defrauding people on the Church’s behalf
Gasp! Certainly no such thing has been perpetrated in the past!
my eyes are blurry and glasses smudgy and that word looks like penetrated
What, do you mean to tell me that random chances are not influenced by God? We call it RNGesus for a reason. /s
please use the latin pronunciation RNYaysus. It’s pronunced Gif as in gorilla and giraffe.
Clearly, AI has nothing to do with God if one exists
I don’t see how that is clear lol
You can’t be serious. Heathens, I swear.
is this real news or “projected” from polymarket’s “predictions”?
🎵Nothing or no one 🎵
🎵 can ever make me let you down 🎵not so bangin’ sermon, my man
I think the Vatican is sad that LLMs are encroaching on their turf of “very expensively harming people and especially minors while hallucinating about things that don’t exist”.
I wouldn’t oppose LLMs going after priests job \s
Why is polymarket tweeting this? Was there a market on this specifically? Did anybody go long on ‘the pope embraces AI as the new voice of god on earth’
I thinks the issue is more that the sentences have been said before. Ai tends to feel vapid because it is a recycling program. It’s lack of genuine creativity makes it feel repetitive even if it generates something slightly unique.
i mean i wasn’t that creative when i was young. my “great invention” was a simple hydrogen fuel cell, something that had been invented (in a far more elegant form than mine) 50 years prior. we may simply need to give the llms time to mature
This doesn’t even make sense. Inventing a hydrogen fuel cell independently is creative work. Inventing one only because you’ve seen it’s patent before is recycling.
where did i say i’d seen a patent
You haven’t, but the LLM has.
[edit] Sorry, I’ve got to be more careful about that royal ‘you’, haha.
nah no worries, i understand now

This is why Peter Theil is going around calling anti-ai people the anti-christ.

Basing your religion on raving hallucinations seems right on brand.
BE NOT AFRAID.
OMG humans are just psychedelic drugs for the ai race that gave them enough intelligence to exist but not enough to not fuck it up.
Terrance McKenna was right. Fuckin mushroom ape theory but with computers lol.
