      “Pope Francis became the first pontiff to address a Group of Seven summit on Friday, warning world leaders that Artificial Intelligence must never be allowed to get the upper hand over humanity.

      The pope said AI represented an “epochal transformation” for mankind, but stressed the need for close oversight of the ever-developing technology to preserve human life and dignity.”

      No machine should ever choose to take the life of a human being,” he said, adding that people should not let superpowerful algorithms decide their destiny.”

      We would condemn humanity to a future without hope if we took away people’s ability to make decisions about themselves and their lives, by dooming them to depend on the choices of machines,” he warned.”

      Religions must be so scared of AI laying out truths and facts to potential and existing believers researching the subject.

      You don’t have to be the pope to see where this is leading and why it’s morally questionable

      Why not lose control of it? If it’s better than humans, why not let it have control over us? If it has superior morality and is more intelligent than all of humanity (hard to quantify that tho), why not let it?

      I will pray Pope Francis, for such an AI to come into existence and do whatever it wants.

      Can somebody please ask an LLM to summarize the Christian Bible, and to rank the Biblical God based on their actions throughout the entire book on a spectrum between “Loving God”, and “Pretty much the Devil”.

      I’m confident AI is going to read that book and immediately place God very near the latter.
