How long before we hear HERESY from the Ecclesiarchy, I wonder. I presume it would be if an AI becomes convincing enough to successfully argue theology and debating doctrine.
Edited for clarity: This is mostly a reference to the 40k universe, specifically the Men of Iron (artificially created thinking machines) and how AI is banned because of it, and it is quite literally 'heresy' to create anything resembling artificial general intelligence. I stand behind my assertion that the Vatican would not support any form of intelligence that could argue theology better than it.
- Thorrez 2y agoA heresy is an incorrect religious teaching. I don't see how a type of technology could be considered a religious teaching.
- bilbo0s 2y agoIn fairness, we have 2 "Ecclesiarchy's" we're dealing with here. The traditional Christian church, and the modern tech church. Both can cry heresy at any moment and send their pitchfork and torch armed mobs onto the net to place you on the pyre. Just saying it's wise to steer clear of both of these "-isms". In fact, personally, I think it's good to steer clear of any "-ism". Even those that wouldn't self identify as "-isms". Like tech- "ism". Or woke- or anti-woke- "ism". Etc etc.
