"...No bad things only bad uses of things.." I think Marshall McLuhan would disagree; in fact, I think he did, in "Understanding Media," iirc.

Excellent analysis, thank you.

Has anybody contacted Catholic Answers to ask about the controversial answers or to see if they offer a correction? If they are contacted and support the answers, then the AI bot by any name is created in their own image.

Thank you Dr Kwasniewski. I note three things in order of their springing to mind:

First, the AI controversy surrounding Catholic Answers is news to me. This delights me, insofar that it suggests I am spending much less time on YouTube than previously.

Secondly, all spiritual advice, whether communicated by a proxy medium, must come whole, complete, and intact, from one 'soul' to another 'soul'.

Third, your notes on out-of-context quotations reminds me strikingly of some unreason and untheology internet megaphones who have doctorates in uncontext.

God bless you.

This use of AI is so stupid and dangerous...

This morning I asked the Brave Browser (named "Leo"): "Who are the 4 great Doctors of the West?" Leo responded that this often refers to the theological and philosophical doctors of the Christian West, and listed them as follows: Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, and Blaise Pascal. ROFLOL so much for AI.
