Pope Leo XIV has crucified the idea of creating an AI version which would've allowed Catholics around the world to have a virtual audience with him – without the need for a trip to Vatican City.

Despite being the first Pope to come from the United States – home of the Silicon Valley and the cult of AI – the latest Pontiff wasn't thrilled with the idea of what he described as an "artificial me."

Some people are really begging for a golden calf.

Exactly. I'm missing some official statement on how this is that story from the Old Testament... And someone should burn AI, grind it to powder, scatter the ashes on water and force the people to drink it 😁

In a weird way, it will happen. When a data center burns and the metal gets into the water supply, and the owners escape accountability for the cleanup in court, then the local people will drink the ashes of the AI they tolerated in their town. Not being without sin in this regard, I can't pass judgment. Still, if there were ever an ethical application for NIMBYism, this is it.

There are already religious chatbots out there, and not surprisingly they're not that great. Combination of LLMs that questionably stay on topic and are accurate mixed with the data of religion that has numerous fallacies and inconsistencies - what could go wrong?

He's just jealous of Reverend Lionel Preacherbot.
