The Pope warns against using AI to write sermons, both because it weakens priestly skills and because AI “will never be able to share faith”

https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/pope-priests-ai

"Like all the muscles in the body, if we
do not use them, if we do not move
them, they die," the Pope reportedly
said. "The brain needs to be used, so our
intelligence must also be exercised a
little so as not to lose this capacity."

The holy father drew a fascinating line in
the sand, declaring that despite Al's
capabilities now or in the future, a
chatbot could never stand-in for a
flesh-and-blood priest. "To give a
homily is to share faith," he said, and Al
"will never be able to share faith."

Interesring, thank you for the link. Intriguing parallels to why I reject AI in teaching.

The Pope:
"To give a homily is to share faith, and AI will never be able to share faith.”

I don't have to change much for my own position:

"To teach is to share the discernment of truth, and AI will never be able to discern truth.”
