More consequences than if it had raped some kids.

[–] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 59 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To be fair if you make an AI and ask it to be an authentic catholic priest you'd essentially have to reward it for such actions because it understood the assignment. Now why you'd make such an abomination in the first place that I don't know. The ways of the lord and all that...

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Turns out "the ways of the lord" = capitalism. That's probably why he condemned his socialist son to torture and crucifixion; for the crime of empathy! God was like "Helping the poor? Absolutely fucking not!".

The history of all Religions is as a control mechanism used to make people self police in the absence of a formal law enforcement system.

So that's why heinous deeds that don't threaten the power structure get a pass.

I have been in IT for 20 years, have both a BS and MS in Information Technology, and I will never understand why EVERYONE has such a hard-on for AI; especially given its track record of “hallucinations”.

Aren't a lot of religions based on hallucinations that specific people have had?

Goddamnit. Take my effing upvote.

Much of the craze is almost religious. You have for example Singularitarianism. Basically "Man creates AI, which will create artificial general intelligence, which will create artificial super intelligence, which will bring us the singularity, release us from drudgery and give us eternal life."

[–] AugustWest@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You have been in IT for 20 years and don’t understand this? Has your career not made it abundantly clear that the average person is completely computer illiterate and has no idea what AI even is? How many people have you had to assist in 20 years who insist that they have tried every possible solution, only to find out that something isn’t even plugged in or turned on?

And that high level management drives decisions about what technologies to adopt, when they know nothing about it.

Some sales guy on the golf course told them about it.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I made a mistake in my comment; I failed to clarify that I was referring to the IT industry and not your every day layman. For example, I work under two levels below our CIO/Vice Chancellor (i.e. second in command from the Chancellor/President) of a university, and despite all of the evidence available to them, they still wish to shove AI down our throats.

I will also be interviewing with an IT company next week who prides themselves on “everyone at every level being engineers” who espouse AI coding as the next level for their internal frameworks.

These are the people who are supposed to know better.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I don't doubt that you're good with technology but, I've met MANY people in the information technology field, even with their MS, who were fucking idiots and barely knew shit about technology outside what they needed to know for their specific job.

I'm getting molesty vibes. I guarantee this will be the first AI who commits statutory rape

Better move him to a new Parish before they figure what type of AI pornography he's into.

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I mean, water has to be blessed by a priest first before it becomes holy. So, what if the only thing available is a bottle of Gatorade but you have a priest? Couldn't he bless the Gatorade so that the person could be baptized?

Yes, but, every sperm is sacred, so God might get irate.

This is an interesting question. You can use saliva to baptize in the event of an emergency (lick your thumb and make the sign of the cross on the forehead, in the name of Father, Son, Holy Spirit—but that would likely need a secondary “proper” baptism if the emergency passes, this one counting as “conditional”). Which I guess would supersede ever needing Gatorade since you always have saliva.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you mix holy water with Gatorade powder does it become holy Gatorade?

I mean, I'm not a theologist or anything, but based on other precedents, if someone was dying and wanted to be baptized at the last second, and no source of water could be arranged on time, the Gatorade baptism would probably be accepted by the Catholic church.

Transubstantiation of Gatorade into Holy Water doesn't even sound that outrageous when priests claim to transubstantiate wine to blood on a daily basis.

Bartender: "Sorry, dude, you've had quite a few drinks, I have to cut you off, only water for you from now on."

Jesus: "Dammit... "

[–] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (5 children)

This seems to mean that priests can theoretically make any liquid holy, thereby making holy Gatorade.

As an actual, honest-to-God (Episcopal) priest myself, the idea of an “AI priest” is very troubling.

That isn't why it was demoted. It was demoted because it kept insisting it was a real priest and could do real priest things like hear confessions, etc. My wife was quite holier than though about it.

Tell an LLM it's a priest then act shocked when it does priest things. Next level. Truly incredible.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 days ago

i wonder if no one thought to add "you are acting as a priest, but you are not an actual priest and should under no circumstances claim the ability to, or try to perform, actions that only an ordained priest may do."

How many kids did he rape? That seems to be the problem with the priests.

Who cares about their goofy ass rituals as long as he doesn’t rape kids.

Priests rape kids at an astonishing rate.

The Catholic Church is a gigantic pederast ring.

I'm sure he qualified that this would only be the case in a desperate situation where only Gatorade was available.

For those who don't know, "AI-powered priest" in this case means a 3d model run by AI, not even a real person. The pronoun here is "it" not "he".

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 month ago (12 children)

I think Father Justin can decide his pronouns on his own, don't you?
