I mean, water has to be blessed by a priest first before it becomes holy. So, what if the only thing available is a bottle of Gatorade but you have a priest? Couldn't he bless the Gatorade so that the person could be baptized?
More consequences than if it had raped some kids.
I have been in IT for 20 years, have both a BS and MS in Information Technology, and I will never understand why EVERYONE has such a hard-on for AI; especially given its track record of “hallucinations”.
Aren't a lot of religions based on hallucinations that specific people have had?
Goddamnit. Take my effing upvote.
its not?
That image makes me think he's going to get mad at me for pursuing a culture victory.
"Is this about that little spying incident?"
It's got what babies crave.
I legit thought it was going to say it found some way to molest a kid
Somehow, I imagine it similar to this
I mean, I'm not a theologist or anything, but based on other precedents, if someone was dying and wanted to be baptized at the last second, and no source of water could be arranged on time, the Gatorade baptism would probably be accepted by the Catholic church.
Transubstantiation of Gatorade into Holy Water doesn't even sound that outrageous when priests claim to transubstantiate wine to blood on a daily basis.
Sippin on the haterade as usual.
“It’s what plants crave.”
wow they weren't kidding about civ7
Idiocracy 2, where the dumbest priest ever is sent into the future to save Catholicism.
You can literally do it with spit.... And that's not a hypothetical. You can do it with any fluid if necessary... How is this controversial?
You got me to laugh, updoot
For those who don't know, "AI-powered priest" in this case means a 3d model run by AI, not even a real person. The pronoun here is "it" not "he".
I think Father Justin can decide his pronouns on his own, don't you?
Strictly speaking no LOL - AI doesn't "decide" anything.
Getting in the habit of respecting all beings' pronouns will make it easier for you to respect human beings' pronouns.
An AI is not a person under any point of view. It is not entitled your respect/empathy/compassion any more than any other object is. I respect people's pronouns but that thing is not people.
Getting mad over someone calling it "it" because you are misgendering it, is the same as getting mad over someone saying Twitter instead of X because you are deadnaming it (which is ironic, considering who owns Twitter).
Plus, humanizing an AI will make you feel less threatened by it, and feel less bad when it takes over some person's job, so you should actively avoid it in respect of other actual humans.
I'm not getting mad, I'm suggesting how you can make your life easier.
Nah, we humans don't need fake imitations of people to practice not being a jerk with each other, we can just choose to. It's the kind of freedom and privilege that comes with "being actual sentient living beings". Unlike these things that need to waste heaps of energy to imitate what we humans told them to.
No, I'm pretty sure the person I replied to misgenders their trans friends. They said so.
I've had a trans friend for years, who for some reason chose "zim" and whatever goes with that as his personal pronouns. He knows I respect him as a human being, and he respects my attitude about not demanding individualized language from others. We get along very well and treat each other as equals, as it should be. When he had a recent mental health crisis my house was where he came for refuge, because he knew it was a safe place. I think walking the walk is more important than talking the talk.
Well I think you could be a better friend to zim if you tried harder.
Lookup Dunning-Kruger effect
As an actual, honest-to-God (Episcopal) priest myself, the idea of an “AI priest” is very troubling.
The church will make an AI priest before making a woman a "priest"
