    Of course the catholic church is against A.I. it could very possibly become a powerful God that is visible and tangible to people, as opposed to one that is just said to exist, needs a system of believe to exist, and nothing can be directly attributed to. Any positive or negative act that is brought upon the world as a result of an A.I super being will be measurable, visible, and able to be witnessed by all those affected.

    Sounds like a pretty big threat to the existence of all religions to me.

      My brother in machine-Christ, you need to take a deep breath, go outside, and touch some grass.

        Not LLMs. I am talking about if all agents connect globally and all information can be accessed instantly at once. Listen to what the actual experts are saying, not what the corporations are saying.

          Because it’s really daft on a number of levels.

          Firstly there’s no evidence what so ever that the current generation of AI is a pathway to a general intelligence or anything god like.

          Secondly it seems to me that most decisions are about preserving money and traditions and positions of power - faith in “God” is a different thing entirely and maybe the church wouldn’t be so awful if they were focused on that.

          Finally I don’t really think the emergence of a man made god-tier intelligence would really challenge believers in “God”. As in, I can see the connection logically but any Christian will tell you their belief is based on faith - it’s not logical.
