We're looking at this from the wrong perspective. What about replacing the parishioners with LLMs? If we can crack AGI, think of the potential souls for saving.

The Vatican should be all over AI development. What pope wouldn't want to be responsible for saving 47 trillion souls?
- paulddraper 3y agoIf I understand you correctly, you're saying AGI has a soul?
- ThalesX 3y agoI think you are misunderstanding. It feels to me that he's saying AI could fill the role of the clergy in making people repent for their sins and thus absolving their souls. This would make the spiritual leader that brings about this "mass-salvation" one of, if not the most succesful vessel of god. Imagine the cultural impact of having AGI turn billions of people to <whatever_religion_you_preach> 24 / 7.
- paulddraper 3y agoThe 47 trillion number confused me
- ThalesX 3y agoI took it as a made up projection of the number of people AGI might touch in the future of humanity, and now that I think about it maybe also other species that might get touched by it.
