More consequences than if it had raped some kids.

[–] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 58 points 4 days 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 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days 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!".

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.

[–] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (5 children)

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

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Uh, skeet skeet "enjoy salvation"

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

They've got holy water and holy wine. Why not holy beer.

"This is my piss, drink of it and be holy"

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... "

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”.

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 97 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Goddamnit. Take my effing upvote.

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?

I legit thought it was going to say it found some way to molest a kid

[–] Xanvial@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

That usually results in promotion

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Somehow, I imagine it similar to this

“It’s what plants crave.”

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 76 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Well obviously that's wrong, everyone who took catholic theology studies in college knows it should either be monster or white claw /j

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.

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

It's got what babies crave.

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

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

The church will make an AI priest before making a woman a "priest"

Sippin on the haterade as usual.

You can literally do it with spit.... And that's not a hypothetical. You can do it with any fluid if necessary... How is this controversial?

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Because not all dogma can be easily explained or defended so it is easier to hunt the messenger. Compare to evangelicals and how much they roar against some things in the old covenant as sins while still using cloth made of mixed materials, eat bacon or refuse to kill their kids if they are not respectful enough.

[–] Dvixen@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Sam and Dean using Holy Church flavoured Gatorade to defeat evil, then drinking the rest to recover their lost electrolytes...

[–] dumbluck@midwest.social 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

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.
