  • Pope Leo XIV has said he will not authorise the creation of an AI avatar of himself, as it would blur the lines between truth and fiction.
  • The Pope also noted that he is concerned with AI’s impact on human dignity and jobs.
  • If automation replaces too many people and only a few can work, that could be a “huge problem” the Pope said.

    You’re making overly broad generalizations about a religion with over 1 billion members.

    There are absolutely people who abuse the confession system as a get out of jail free card for their guilt with no intention of changing their ways.

    Again, there are absolutely restrictions to freedom of religion, just like there’s restrictions on every other 1A right. I don’t think that it’s possible to make a reasonable case to not make priests mandatory reporters for child rape.

      That’s not how confession works. It’s not a “get out of jail free card”, and it doesn’t take a broad generalization to know that even somebody deluded enough to think that it is, isn’t going to tell a priest “and I’ll do it again” and still think they’re getting anything out of it. That’s just a scenario made up entirely in your head, and I wouldn’t waste too much of your energy worrying about scenarios that only exist in your head. We have enough real problems to worry about.

      Again, there are absolutely restrictions to freedom of religion

      Yes, and the seal of confession is not one of them, nor should it be.
