A Catholic organization built an AI priest. Here’s what happened. 

They're still working on the "Priests can't marry" thing.

at least the AI priest won't diddle the children

Best comment on the board.

@@rickn8or can an AI priest marry? Sounds like a good question for it.

@@fitybux4664, followed up with "Can God make a rock so heavy he can't lift it?"

Give it time!

Yet.

Not being the cause of anal bleeding in kids should be such a low bar for a church. And yet ...

Is it because the ai is not gay that likes teenage boys?

But he might groom them online.

🤣🤣🤣

LOL, they made it some alter bots

damn. I'm two days too late for that comment.

6 days late.. Damn

@@bigbobelow6147 Is that a form of transgender machine?

I like the idea. It must tie itself in knots.

Does it rape little boys and girls too?

At least the AI can't grope anyone.

@@SLJShortt ......Yet.

lol Thank You.

and you listen to that old fool...lmao puhleez

Yea, cos he knows a lot about computers.

What might have been the reason 🙄

Sounds like you're voting against Donald J Traitor as well then

...those who make you believe in absurdities...are atrociously absurd...😐

Gatorade! It’s got the electrolytes Catholics crave!!

@@brooklynnchick I'm surprised Father AI didn't recommend Brawndo!

Sounds just like Mr. Trump

Beats tRump giving religious instructions and asking people to pray.

⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆

How about you nominate someone electable and popular instead of unpopular with tons of baggage that Trump beats?

​@@blackout07blueTrump can't even beat 34 felonies, nor Biden. Haha. Biden 2024

B​@@blackout07blueHAHAHAHA NOBODY has the baggage trump does. Yikes, deaf dumb and blind.

It’s got electrolytes

It’s what plants crave! 😂

You can be baptized in Gatorade. Look I went to the Catholic schools, k through 12. You can be baptized and Gatorade. I mean it's uncommon. I don't know if anyone ever has been. But technically even spit will work. It's not ideal, but in an emergency things have happened. And I know spit has been used a number of times, basically a priest licks his thumb in a war zone.

It's all idiotic ... 1) - There is no scriptural provision to reconcile the doctrines of Original Sin and Free Will Salvation, as pertains to dead babies. According to Christianity we are born despicable filthy sinners deserving of eternal torture and must make a conscious free will decision to accept Jesus in order to avoid going to hell. (John 3:3 - "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."). The most Christians can do is cite vague Old Testament verses from before the New Covenant of free will salvation thru Jesus, or some absurd dogma that has no founding in scripture or church history - which includes the invention of Limbo to address the obvious doctrinal absurdity. There is nothing that says children get a free pass. And if there was a loophole for Original Sin then Jesus is no longer essential to salvation. Of course, people are free to call Jesus a liar if they want (John 3:3), ... I do it all the time. 2) Jesus hasn't saved anyone (with the possible exception of the thief next to him on the cross - if you believe fairy tales full of crucifixional zombies). According to [1 Thessalonians 4:13-18] no one goes to heaven when they die. Everyone rots in the ground (sleeps in Christ) until the rapture. No one has been saved from death by Jesus - yet ... Again, the most Christians can do is cite another verse that suggests something different - which only demonstrates the Bible is a contradictory mess, and does nothing to show which contradictory passage is the correct one.

You mean we should drink "toilet water"??! 😂😂

Actually no. Basic philosophy already points toward God. Using a giant calculator will just increase your probabilities. When you examine the foundational concepts UPON WHICH EVERYTHING lies (death, morality, values, principles, meaning, existence, foundations of science which is also philosophy), you are forced to believe than not believe. Let alone history, other religious scriptures that point to Christ, excavations, etc)

@@bond3161 LOL

@@redMaple_QC please provide a real argument.

@@bond3161 Same to you. Prove your imaginary friend.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 FUCCATHOLICS

Unfortunately, it is training to spout apologetics instead of apologies.

Ah, the predictable, mindless regurgitation of anti-Catholic rhetoric masquerading as a witty comment. "How about an AI that spends all its time apologizing for Catholic atrocities?" Really? This is the intellectual depth we've reached? Let's dissect this shallow, historically ignorant comment. First, let's recognize the transparent agenda behind such statements. You're not interested in genuine historical inquiry or understanding; you're interested in cheap shots and virtue signaling. The term "Catholic atrocities" is thrown around with no regard for context, nuance, or historical accuracy. Yes, there have been wrongs committed by individuals within the Catholic Church, just as there have been in every institution and belief system throughout history, including secular regimes that have far surpassed religious institutions in terms of body count and brutality. However, to reduce the entire Catholic tradition - a tradition that has been pivotal in the development of Western civilization, science, art, education, and moral philosophy - to a series of selective historical grievances is not just intellectually dishonest, it's laughably simplistic. It shows a complete lack of understanding of history's complexity and the Church's role in shaping the very moral framework you claim to defend. You want an AI to apologize for these so-called "atrocities"? How about an AI that spends its time educating people on the countless contributions of the Church: the preservation of knowledge during the Dark Ages, the founding of the first universities, the development of modern science through clergy like Gregor Mendel and Georges Lemaître, the tireless charitable work throughout centuries, and the articulation of human rights grounded in Christian theology? Furthermore, this obsession with "apologies" is a symptom of modernity's pathological need to virtue-signal without any real understanding or commitment to historical truth. It's easy to demand apologies for the past while enjoying the benefits of the very civilization those "atrocities" helped build. Try applying the same scrutiny to the secular ideologies you implicitly support - ideologies responsible for the bloodiest century in human history. But no, that would require a level of intellectual honesty and historical understanding that this comment clearly lacks. So, before you spew another thoughtless, anti-historical comment, maybe spend some time actually learning about the history you so flippantly criticize. Or better yet, reflect on the selective outrage and hypocrisy embedded in your worldview. Until then, your opinion remains exactly what it appears to be: a mindless parroting of tired, uninformed cliches unworthy of serious consideration.

Islam is the 'religion of peace'. never forget that

@avjb1872 ironic to be sure. But what has this to do with a discussion about catholicism?

I have the offline solution! The Holy Bible. I have a few as backup

😂😂😂😂

It did not and, sadly, that failure was a bug not a feature.

To clarify, it asked for real pictures.

Not great for the church that everyone immediately thought of the same joke 😂

The real question is: why is this any better than a real priest? Answer: because it cannot harrass kids for example...

@@pagheca I have the Bing Copilot widget on my iPhone. It does a better job of understanding what I want than a Google search but I can still find what I want with Google. How about an AI that tells me what stocks to buy and guarantees a 20% return !!

@@pagheca This AI "priest" was _not_ designed to satisfy any tangible functions of an actual priest. The ostensible intent is to have it available strictly as a "more human" interface to replace or augment the organization's website _resources section_ that anyone can already use to get their questions answered. That's all, and to that intentionally limited extent, it's effectively no better than a Google search... and could very possibly be worse as shown in the video but _only_ in the digital domain. There will _still_ be actual human priests to hold masses, provide funeral services, officiate weddings, and baptize babies. Those services and expectations did not suddenly disappear when the Catholics Answers organization sprung up years ago, and they won't now, even with a glitchy AI "priest" online.

Yet.....

@@rooster1012 And how would a digital AI harm a person, ever? It wont, and it'll be far safer than the current human priests who are more prone to mistakes and bad antics than AI's.

you sure?

Don't worry. it will find a way.

How do i make the children follow me and trust the will of the lord...

Great idea. I’ll call up the hospital using it to detect cancer and the places using AI to create new medicines and I’ll tell them to stop. Your advice is so needed.

It's scary how fast AI learns

My aI priest groped my algorithm.

Birds of a feather flock together...

Churches are businesses. Less employees to pay = more profits and less mouths to feed apply to all and any churches, very well. And because all of them are utter nonsense anyway, low quality AI gibberish will do the job nicely.

Agree. Religion: artificial, intelligence V Atheism: Actual Intelligence.

That's essentially ChatGPT et al. Conclusion: AI - whether "theist" or "atheist", makes shit up just as much as humans.

Great comment.

I can agree *100%!!!!* Thanks! That looks like a good book.

And? You believe everything came from nothing? You believe that even though if there's nothing beyond this world, even though everyone's destination of death is the same, that somehow picking good isn't arbitrary? You think you don't have a onus to describe your own worldview. You do. So, Mr. Logical, please tell me what your worldview is and why? Especially since everyone dies, technically, any one choice is no different from another since the end result is THE EXACT SAME assuming nothing else beyond this world.

@@bond3161 our worldview is based on materialism and empirical evidence, conducted through the scientific method i would recommend secular secondary schooling for your first two questions (or university if you are unfortunate enough to be in the US). some courses in genetics, biological evolution, geology... history and world religions would do you good as well it is rather concerning that people in the abrahamic tribes judge things through faith-for-afterlife social credit score, based on propositions no longer relevant to science or egalitarian culture. luckily more and more people are looking at the effects their choices have on reality now, rather than the effect on their vacation to another dimension upon brain death that their upline told them to focus on

@@RM-xr8lq please tell me how science how science answer whether it does it for good or bad, why do it at all, why it assume the doers have choice, and why they velieve they exist and this world can testable? Youve ASSUMED all the answers already into your science biases. Its concerning how scientists think they are so smart without questioning their own biases to begin with. You realized even the null hypothesis is testing an inquiry AT A SPECIFIC POINT. Well, why did you even test i5 there? Because... You have an inkling it was there. Hence, bias.
