@Pontifex: In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
@Spectromachina: Pope, would you please shut the fuck up about matters you do not understand? You’re not an Ai influencer, no one elected you, and you have absolutely no weight in this debate and you’re being used as a mouthpiece to sway public opinion. how many local models do you run?
Community Note: The Pope is elected by cardinals in a Conclave which gathers in the Sistine Chapel.

“The Pope. How many datacenters has he?”
If i were Pope, there would be so many people getting hit with halberds for mouthing off to me
By the end of the week, Protestants are going to be running their own image generation model. They will call it Manger Diffusion, and it will be trained on the Veggie Tales DVD box set.
Why would you put that kind of evil on me?
I’m just a little Pope, just a funny little guy who wears a funny little hat and drives around in a funny little car
The phony pope can be identified by their high top sneakers and incredibly foul mouth
Yeah, that’s fuckin’ true
the fake pope has a low enough armor rating that his health bar is red when clicked
they use mp7s now
Yeah, but I would make them use the halberds
I feel like it would hurt worse than just riddling them with bullets
Make them use baseball bats, and call them your minions, henchmen, or goons
Come on, we need a pope who feels like as much of a villain as he is
Damn, I never had any beyond the MP3, glad to see music playback devices are still evolving
it plays more than 800 songs per minute
Flying dangerously close to a classic Terry Davis quote
