9:20 About the sources... While it is great that AI can help us find sources so quickly, I've noticed that, sometimes, the sources ChatGPT or other AI provides are wrong, this is probably because, as great of an illusion of a conscious being AI is, it simply reads and provides whatever info it finds from certain sites, and if those sites got it wrong, then ChatGPT will present the same error. Always double check the sources it provides. Don't just rol with them.

These generative AI can only give you answers based on what data it has been given. You could have a AI that is trained specifically on all Catholic documents (Bible, in different languages, Cataclysmic, other writings). AI can look up information much quicker than people and notice patterns better than us. This is just a tool not a replacement for us.

This is both impressive and scary at the same time. It is outstanding that such AI tools can canvas, within seconds, a mindboggling amount of information to come up with an answer. However, if people start using it as a primary resource of knowledge, instead of going to a consecrated person or faithful parishioner, they may get many of the facts right, but they will lack the spiritual connection that can only arise from human interaction.

Faith is also an emotional aspect vs only an academic philosophy. Chat GPT will tell you the answer tailored to its audience, but it won't believe what it is saying. Much like a student who writes a paper to meet the professors view on a topic, even if the student doesn't share that view. The goal of Chat GPT is to give an answer that will satisfy the asker. But it has no feeling about it. Which is why it isn't a replacement for humans, as their feelings are important too.

A typical BS interpretation of QM like other "paradoxes", esp. clock/twin one in Einstein's Relativity: a state of...Schrodinger's cat! "Trinity" is a description and not a name (individual or general)-B. Russell, AD 1910, Principia Mathematica#14.02! Mark 10:18,12:29. I've got some experience/confrontation (public ones at Universities,Toronto and Organized directly by the Holy Spirit: ). Now, I am carrying a J. Wayne's Winchester (Lk 22:36) as a word- arguments don't work (in general).Fr J.M.Bochenski OP tried to ridicule some Sunday's preacher's idiocies about the subject: an imaginary that of a pregnant man (FAther) with a child (Jesus) but still he was ignorant of the Bible's hermeneutics (CCC110) then tried to defend the (logical) fancy of the metaphorical Credo formula

@laurieschultes9922 Ай бұрын

Not a replacement for a void homily. Absolutely. But you yourself pointed out in a previous video, how often is a memorable homily preached. One of my main issues is a priest who delivers the Mass in a droning voice. He actually sounds bored. Those are the times you walk out of church. You know you sat, kneeled, and stood but remember nothing else. If the priest isn't into it, then that's a problem.

On the last question. I’m a former atheist that had returned to the Episcopal Church. While not an actual Catholic, more like Diet Catholic 😉; I think Churches with a High Church approach have something of great value to offer those that are growing tired of post-post-postmodernism or whatever nonsensical simulacrum is festering in our culture. I was willing to take a Kierkegaardian leap towards something greater than myself and a belief in Love and Beauty as a springboard to a Belief in the saving grace of Christ is a wonderful start. The world is empty without Love and Beauty and I’m slowly learning that Love and Beauty cannot be sustained without the Grace of God.

As much as 'prompt engineering' gets joked about, it is clear that the prompt questions you ask help provide the accurate responses. Catholicism also benefits from significant written records. Both in actual sources directly, and online resources that explain to a more lay-person level. You also have the level to validate the reponses. Something lay people might not. The homily brainstorm example was great to show it can be a tool in the hands of someone who already understands the concepts. An electric screwdriver is great, but if someone doesnt understand the difference between a phillips head and a flat head, the better tool is to learn how to use manual screwdrivers first

Mainly it's not grave sin provided one does it exhausted and at midnight (in that case what's more of a sin is the fact of awakeness at that hour itself). It'd be a grave sin if one clicked on it with full sunlight at like 4 PM at the office - full knowledge, active will and breaking the moral wall by chosing it as an activity, an entertainment. Really depends on in what spirit one "clicks".
