    Pontifex has a well-reasoned position given the current understanding of the technology and any major assertions require an equally major amount of evidence.

    Given how quickly this industry moves, the Magnifica Humanitas has aged amazingly well since its release almost half a year ago, far better than statements by most industry insiders across a broad range. Whether you are a Catholic, another mono- or polytheistic faith, Atheist, Deist, etc. I really recommend it.

      Love em or hate em, the Popes quite often write some really thoughtful stuff that stands the test of time (e.g. they have threaded the needle on capitalism vs communism for more than a century).

        The Pope&#x27;s arguments that AIs &quot;do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships&quot; seem reasonable, though that could probably be part of future versions.
