Your comment has a very strong AI stench.

I guess that's the point of it. It's kinda hard to doubt what they're saying anw.

A comment about how nobody can tell facades from the real thing — and the first response is someone trying to tell. I appreciate the live demo.

People can tell. The premise is false. It’s sometimes hard to tell, obviously it’s hard to ascertain false negatives and false positives, but it’s usually pretty obvious.

It's a tell that you think people can't tell.

This post is a prime example of why the Pope said what he did.

Bring on the Electric Monks ...

I think you are grossly missing the point.

That AI can do it better - by what dimension? - than the priests is arguable, but the reason for a priest to write one is reflection, connection..

Have you ever considered that possibly performing something is not only a mean to some output but that the process is the thing?

That may or may not translate to your coding analogy, but for the article comment you pose, I think you are way off.

I have been present for a sermon that smelled like chatgpt. It does make you wish you had sent your agent instead.

Hang on, you're saying I still get soul credits toward the afterlife if I send my AI agent to sermons?

Hahahaha, ohh man. Love it...

Hrm, this seems to be slop. Claude, gonna leave my phone in the pew, listen and give me a summary when it's over, I'll be in the car.

I genuinely don’t understand AI people anymore. Like the cognitive gap is so huge that I feel like I’m from another planet now. Im not religious, but automating religion is so absolutely meaningless that it boggles my mind. You could have a machine emit million of prayers up to heaven per second, but why would you?

And despite what you think, most of us can tell apart AI generated content from the genuine thing. I am, however, starting to believe AI bros are being sincere when they tell us that they can’t. Every time someone gives me that tired “well how do you know we’re not just stochastic parrots too!” crap, I’m getting a little closer to taking their word for it. Maybe they are just that.

I used to worry that the problem was that LLMs allowed you to be stupid, but I recently realized the actual problem is that they reward you for being stupid.
