  • 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.

In many states priests are mandatory reporters.

But they can’t be forced to abandon their religious beliefs by the government by breaking the seal of confession.

Then they should be prosecuted for it. Their beliefs are a direct detriment to public health and safety.

Great idea, let’s just disregard the first amendment entirely. And then once we’ve done that, the government would also be free to establish a state religion and force all of us to follow it.

I think we better put that monkeys paw back where we found it.
