Do you really, honestly believe that's pope Leo XIV's underlying reasoning here?

    Why wouldn't it be? All decisions are about the preservation of the church.

    Because it's really daft on a number of levels.

    Firstly there's no evidence what so ever that the current generation of AI is a pathway to a general intelligence or anything god like.

    Secondly it seems to me that most decisions are about preserving money and traditions and positions of power - faith in "God" is a different thing entirely and maybe the church wouldn't be so awful if they were focused on that.

    Finally I don't really think the emergence of a man made god-tier intelligence would really challenge believers in "God". As in, I can see the connection logically but any Christian will tell you their belief is based on faith - it's not logical.
