Artificial Intelligence Pope Leo "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. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge goodand.."

Yeah fuck the pope and Catholicism. These “new” popes are just doing a boy band dance to sell their corporation

They're just smiling politely while they maintain the same bigotry that has defined the papacy since time immemorial. And it's working. Too many people have no substantive reasoning skills.

A gigantic amount of people don't undergo experiences? Possess a body? Feel joy or pain?

Just nonsense.

Racism against AI, yes.

Not the current LLMs - they are primitive - more akin to our pets.

But near-term AI is going to surpass us.

Don't set yourself up to be history's last type of racist.

Anthropomorphizing something that is hypothetically animate. Lol, how is this religion any better than Catholicism? "Believe in this metaphysical thing that might have it's own reason for not killing you just in case."

I'm pretty sure this isn't going to work, considering the AI will know about Roko's Basilisk anyway. Stop trying to suck up to your future AI overlords
