Pope Leo XIV dislikes AI, won’t authorise creation of AI Pope—"If we automate the whole world and only a few people have the means with which to more than just survive"~ there’s a big problem (htxt.co.za)

  • Pope Leo XIV has said he will not authorise the creation of an AI avatar of himself, as it would blur the lines between truth and fiction.
  • The Pope also noted that he is concerned with AI’s impact on human dignity and jobs.
  • If automation replaces too many people and only a few can work, that could be a “huge problem” the Pope said.

Boggles the fucking mind that an elderly white male high ranking Catholic is a sane and solid pick for president considering the current state of things.

If the founding fathers were still alive, the very idea of this would kill them.

ha, honestly I think it boggles the mind of anyone who was alive before (the last) Pope Francis.
