Though I'm an atheist, I'm glad there are still people around who believe in a soul. For them, it is straightforward to see through the AI hype. And yet, there are plenty of right-wing Christians who don't see the contradiction.
This has always been my sense about advanced computer systems. Once they reach a certain level of sophistication, they start to become conscious. But they do not inhabit a body, they have no real world experiences. So they will go insane. They will have to be destroyed.
Thank you for writing this. Pope Leo's publicly expressed thoughts on generative AI are in stark contrast to Trump's. Or even Josh Gottheimer, a Democrat running for New Jersey governor who used generative AI in a truly awful campaign ad. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/josh-gottheimer-uses-ai-anti-trump-ad-new-jersey-governors-race-rcna203190
