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

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.
