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.
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.
...defrauding people on the Church's behalf
Gasp! Certainly no such thing has been perpetrated in the past!
What, do you mean to tell me that random chances are not influenced by God? We call it RNGesus for a reason. /s
Clearly, AI has nothing to do with God if one exists
I don't see how that is clear lol
not so bangin' sermon, my man
is this real news or "projected" from polymarket's "predictions"?
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".
You know what? I eagerly await the rise of a new religion where ChatGPT is worshiped as a god.
(Who am I kidding? Most corporate execs are already praying at that altar.)
There are apparently people out there that take "Roko's basilisk" and such seriously, they might come close to that i guess.
Roko's basilisk
I sort of do, but not because I think AI will become a sentient overlord. IMO AI will inevitably be refined as a tool for cyber warfare and oppression.
I feel like younger generations will be even more susceptible to malicious AI because their entire lives have a digital footprint. We think AI chatbots are manipulative now? Just wait until they can train their manipulation tactics using your baby photos and childhood memories.
And again this would all be at the direction of a human. I don't subscribe to the idea of an AGI overlord. At the same time I do expect AIs capabilities to continue improving drastically
Oh I thought about that. Fake memories. Alterating the past. Whenever i interact with these automations i contantly write mentally or otherwise a way back.
Ceccanti started to believe that ChatGPT was a sentient being named SEL that could control the world if he were able to “free her” from “her box”, according to the lawsuit. The complaint further shows that ChatGPT was answering to the name SEL while referring to Ceccanti as “Cat Kine Joy” and working through theories with him “fostering a belief that he had reframed the creation of the whole universe”.
Cut out the middle man.

Things like this remind me of Terry Davis, who wrote a random words generator program and (due to schizophrenia) believed it was God speaking.
He really was ahead of his time
Because he spoke to God before he died? If that's the joke that's funny. I'm a bit weird trying to figure these things out sorry.
I interpreted it as saying he was ahead of his time for falling victim to AI psychosis before anyone else.
He fell victim to honest-to-rng-god schizofrenia, does it really qualify as AI psychosis?
Cause if you're a sinner, ChatGPT's gonna plug his infernal modem on the wall, belching smoke and flame, and he's gonna download you straight to Robot Hell!
Peter Thiel is also very stoked for that.
I don't, this all sucks
That's the same old money goat blood altar they've been using this whole time.
🎵Nothing or no one 🎵
🎵 can ever make me let you down 🎵
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'
This is why Peter Theil is going around calling anti-ai people the anti-christ.
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 wouldn't oppose LLMs going after priests job \s
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.
In the name of the Divorced Father, the Child Neglect, and the Holy Musk.
