“The pope said AI could fuel the “growing crisis of truth in the public forum”, as its output was almost indistinguishable from those of humans.
“This technology is designed to learn and make certain choices autonomously, adapting to new situations and providing answers not foreseen by its programmers, thus raising fundamental questions about ethical responsibility, human safety, and the broader implications of these developments for society.”
Why don’t you clean up your own house first, father? We need some critical oversight to keep children safe around your minions.
He isn’t really worried about truth. He is just worried that AI will accelerate the decline of the grift that religion is running on humanity.
The lies the papacy tells its flock. I’m not so sure they even know what the truth looks like.
Does he really think they’re going to let religion get in the way of unfettered capitalism?
“Quick stop this, they are telling better lies than we do”
“Man who lives in made up fantasy world complains about false information”
Sure bud.
Organization that has relied on fairy tales for political and social control for millennia is now concerned about being outdone.
Whatever your opinion on religion or his religion is, he is completely correct
Bold of a religious ruler to be speaking about “truth”.
If he was worried about the truth, he could release documents they have stored away in the Vatican that goes against their official narrative…
Says the man training AI Jesus. Who also climbed Mt Sinai to give us his version of the ten commandments. Who also recently fashioned us a idol. A little girl named Luca, I think. He also belongs to an office the Tortured and murdered millions in the name of his false Christ. Literally, the father of blashemies.
I’m surprised there’s a sensible statement coming from this dipshit.
People, many prominent, have been warning about various impending calamities for decade but it seems like the machine just keeps steamrolling towards oblivion.
Anyone else see this? It’s like no matter what, the decision to go on the wrong direction is always made.
Cuz if someone asks about the Catholic Church ai will say it’s all bullshit
Ahhh… the future – where religious leaders hold sway over the flow and quality of truth claims.
I don’t want religion to control tech advancements and limitations based on their beliefs
All we need is a new Crusade. Because the Saracens are already walking the streets of Christian Europe.
They’re just worried they will be replaced by AI and the millions of fool$ who believe in their form of mind control will diminish.
I still await the Vatican’s approval to allow their entire vault to be cataloged in detail. Not some of it, all of it. Including stuff that will hurt your own brand.
Said the man who’s oppressive organization has been lying to the world for over a thousand years
we were in a post truth society before AI. All this did was make it easier to fill the void with garbage
Im sure the irony of the Church commenting on “truth” is not lost on anyone.
Chief pedler of the world’s greatest lie is concerned about the truth.
Astonishing!
The pope starts to sound more and more like yesterweek’s facebook wall…
Afraid of an AI God coming around and replacing the old one. Then we also get the Robot Pope from Futurama …
Awww yes. The pope has spoken. The king of all religious dopes.
