Well, who is going to reply to the Pope? I say let the AI’s speak for themselves…

" Most of us would prefer ..." What we "prefer" doesn't matter. The robots will control us and we will not be able to make those kinds of decisions at all.

" he boasted that such unnatural abilities, conferred through wires and software, are β€œJesus-level miracles.” " Clearly, Elon is an unhappy man.

If he is not, why would he crave a miracle? -or need one so badly? The guy is desperate.

I am happy for every day of my life which is already a miracle and has been for a long time, thanks anyways Elon for the offer though!

Certainly this is a very interesting article. When Pope Leo says:

β€œThese systems merely imitate certain functions of human intelligence,” Leo states confidently. β€œSo-called artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship, or responsibility mean.”

there is enormous ambiguity. It is a very much "human," not machine statement, full of ambiguities and poorly-defined terms. What is it to "feel"? Or, for example, how often do we humans imitate and how often do we make original statements? There is an answer to that, in my opinion.

Hardly ever. Humans imitate. And a.i. (which I have mostly caution about) imitates that.

With all due respect, and permission to speak freely, as we say in bluewater families…but I do not as a rule take moral, social, cultural, or religious instruction from men in dresses.

AI, to me, is greed and self-centeredness personified. It is outlandishly expensive and hogs resources. (Aside: has anyone queried it on how to maintain liberty while ending poverty?)

I found it fascinating about the deception areas in AI. If muted, it was more honest, more real.

"Don't kid yourself," my eighth grade algebra teacher Mr. Gillisee would admonish our class.

What happens to a human who doesn't mute their deception areas? They become less and less real, more and more a parody of who God meant them to be. Who programs humans?

It seems when a human is not beholden to God (Who is Love and Truth, Grace and Truth, Justice with Mercy, Who Cannot Lie): that he has chosen to program himself, with horrendous results.

This AI will not stop, because their will always be someone who will cheat, just as we will always have the poor with us.

God help us, Everyone.

I like this idea that they "choose" to program themselves. I am not a believer in any all-powerful "god" figure. I am Buddhist.
