    Dear Pope: If you’re willing to fight alongside an agnostic; I’ll help. It’d also be super cool if you would bless my music, poems & art.

    Sideing with the church on this one

    Though the cynic in me believes (at this moment) the church might actually think “AI” is some omnipotent all powerful artificial intelligence, and not just some LLM “word spaghetti generator”.

    Probably afraid that people might start treating it as some kind of all knowing “higher power”. (Who needs God if you have AI kind of mentally?).

    Religion making vague allusions to things that don’t exist, as usual.

    Honestly, if I was the leader of a religion, AI would seem like a great tool. Create an agent with live voice chat that is prompted to give all of the religion’s fundamental ideas. A single religious leader could create the app, and millions could use it. The leader could assert that the app is designed exactly the way that ${deity} told the leader to design it, so that the followers are essentially talking with ${deity}. It would be just like THX 1138.

      You are a very bad villain, let me explain.

      Religion is about control. Your idea is giving away the only leverage you have at controlling people to the A.I.

      What happens when the LLM bullshit a section of your bible that contradicts the “real” foundations of your religion? That’s the God’s AI as it intended’s voice against yours…

      Good luck not ending on a stake ;)
