    And this is a bad thing?

    …in light of certain “incidents” involving organized religion, I’m not so sure this is 100% a bad thing, although it MIGHT be killing a fly with a sledgehammer.

    I am imagining an AI learning religion from religious websites….I kinda want to watch it happen LOL..

    So, it’ll be a fake person talking about another fake person?

    If your job is mostly about empathy and human understanding and you can manage to lose it to an AI then maybe you’re shit at your job.

    AI can’t molest children, so I’m all for it

    I, for one, welcome our new robotic clergy. I would definitely go to a church with Johnny V as pastor.

    This is literally incompatible with the faith. You can’t just replace the priest at the Mass. AI cannot act *In persona Christi*. There’s also no apostolic succession.

    I could see AI being a really good Spiritual director though. But I wouldn’t trust one as a confessor unless it was completely self contained and incapable of storing conversational history. This seems like a bad idea.

    *edit: yo, could you all quit it with the bad-faith ‘gotchas’? You’re literally contributing nothing to this conversation.
