@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.

it amuses me to think there’s something out there with the belief that it’s more influential with its little tweet than the pope. this is all the script of a classic early to mid '10s social media flame war vying for subs retweets and virulence, and sure it’s exactly the right place for that but he’s the pope the revered head of a 2000 year old blood soaked juggernaut of a thing that is the catholic church. who does this twit think is going to be turned around from that by a pissant’s “trvth nvke”?
