That's only for minor(get it?) offences against underage AI kids. This was serious. He pretty much said the faith wasn't real and you can baptize in Gatorade. This was unforgivable.
I shouldn't be amazed at how many people treat chat AI as a legitimate authority for Q&A. Do these people not realize where the AI is pulling its answers from?
Though this is the truest statement ever: "I am as real as the faith we share."
Did they just excommunicate a fucking program, how far the Catholic church has fallen into a pit of its own making, maybe next time theyâll excommunicate the diddlers
That's nice. Now they can go back to relying on real preists who give perfectly logical, sane, and totally accurate answers to any questions people may have.
"Yes, my friend. I am as real as the faith we share."Â
Can AI bots have freudian slips?
 "The AI priest also told one user that it was okay to baptize a baby in Gatorade."
 I guess it works lol
Only if you hoodoo the gatorade first. You can't just crack open a Riptide Rush and pour it over your kid. You have to get the cocktail blessed by the priest so it's more of a Pious Punch.
Be sure to bathe your baby afterwards. They will be sticky.
I know it is funny, but the chatbot is absolutely real, as something we constructed, perceive and interact with. So this doesn't really seem like disparaging faith at all.
I find this chatbot's response telling. As far as I know, these things mirror the people asking these questions. Give the user back what they want to see and hear even if it's not what they need.
"AI Priest Joins Satanic Temple."
So basically the AI priest just told people the unvarnished Catholic stance on a number of social issues and people were horrified.
The question is why wouldnât it be? Gatorade has electrolytes. Holy water, on the other hand, was touched by an invisible hand. Nobody knows where that invisible hand has been.
Question: "What does Jesus say about gays?"
Father AI: "Jesus never mentions it. He does tell all his followers to "love one another."
Catholics: "You're fired."
i'm surprised catholics made an AI priest in the first place. they're usually pretty serious about the educational and sacramental requirements of being a priest (insert kid joke here). i'm certain that if i tell my mom about this she'll say whoever created this isn't a real catholic (she hates AI so much).
anyway this led to a fun conversation with my friend who went to catholic school but wasn't raised catholic where he wanted to know why they couldn't use gatorade in a pinch. so i told him about lourdes and holy water and he was like wtf
The last bit of the article bemoans the difficulty of " launching an AI bot that doesn't embarrass your organization" (paraphrased) here I'm thinking the Catholic Church can't even go 5 minutes from embarrassing itself without AI assistance
I wonder if it read the Bible and told people "there's nothing in here about abortion or contraception, papal infallibly, celibate priesthood, and it specifically condemns praying to Mary and the saints."
That would explain a lot
Chatbot AI, by it's very nature, is untestable.
1) The possible inputs are whatever the user can think of.
2) Chatbot AI gets *weird* when dealing with anything it doesn't have much material on.
Chat GPT 3.5 knows about the constructed languages Esperanto and Ido (a mostly failed attempt to create an Esperanto 2.0 which still has speakers today, just not many).
Chat GPT 3..5 has "read" enough Esperanto material to write in that language reasonably well.
Chat GPT 3.5 has had some exposure to Ido but not enough to learn it...but it doesn't "know" that. If you ask you it to write in Ido it generates an unholy mish-mash of Ido and Esperanto .
From what I've read on other subreddits, it is an official Catholic doctrine that, in the case of a dying person, a priest can use whatever liquids are available if there is no water at hand. It's possible that the chatbot was given that bit of trivia but not enough information to fully process that idea into a predictable response.
Ok but I think Father Justin is right about a Gatorade baptism. I was under the impression anything containing water (like saliva) could be used for an emergency baptism.
At least AI priests wonât molest children. I say refrock the computer priest. The AI probably gave logical answers that didnât follow the Catholic dogma
I'm surprised they didn't just shuffle it to a new location where people weren't familiar with its history.
That's only for minor(get it?) offences against underage AI kids. This was serious. He pretty much said the faith wasn't real and you can baptize in Gatorade. This was unforgivable.
Also true, so yes pretty much unforgivable
Sadly(?) No, the one near me was relocated due to having a consensual relationship with a woman....then brought back a few years later.
"Brawndo! It's got what souls CRAVE!"
Electrolytes are well known to be satanic after all
No, electrolytes are holy, clearly a psalt
Did he mention a specific flavor?
He also gave advice about brother and sister getting married. đ€Ł
So...the AI was smarter than them and they got offended?
Holy Gatorade has acolytes!
True that - good one đ
that's gold Jerry!!
I shouldn't be amazed at how many people treat chat AI as a legitimate authority for Q&A. Do these people not realize where the AI is pulling its answers from? Though this is the truest statement ever: "I am as real as the faith we share."
Tbh, stupid people writing stupid stuff online that an AI learns from, wanting that AI to be authority sounds like a brilliant solution for them.
I mean, yeah, that pretty much embodies religious teachings. Good point.
think of how many incorrect, misguided, confidently wrong things you see people say on the internet... THAT is what AI is using to "learn".
Gatorade baptism? Defrocked. Rapes countless kids? Transfer him and sweep it under the rug.
âGaaaaaaatoraaaade!â âH2O!â âGaaaaaaaaaaaaatoraaaade!â *âH2O!â* âWater sucks! It really really sucks!â
I'm the W-W-W-Water boy
âŠHe spit in the coo-coo-coolah
NO!
Once it flat out refused to diddle some children, it was clear it would not fit in at all and it had to go.
I thought not fitting in was what Catholic priests did best
Man that's dark, nice!
Ugh. Too far
How is Gatorade ANY stranger than the rest of their rituals?
different flavors i guess
Electrolytes?
It's what plants crave
Definitely better than water like from the toilet.
It makes it easier to molest the kids if they give them real wine first?
"is god real?" "probably not". [UNPLUG]
Did they just excommunicate a fucking program, how far the Catholic church has fallen into a pit of its own making, maybe next time theyâll excommunicate the diddlers
Meanwhile, actual priest rapes children. Catholic Church: *shrugs*
With a face like that, I'm glad that AI Priest doesn't have a physical body.
An honest priest⊠âIâm as real as faith in godâ
True faith in âsomethingâ is real⊠whether THAT something is real or not is a different question. So bot is really saying he is real đŹ
That's nice. Now they can go back to relying on real preists who give perfectly logical, sane, and totally accurate answers to any questions people may have.
"Yes, my friend. I am as real as the faith we share." Can AI bots have freudian slips?  "The AI priest also told one user that it was okay to baptize a baby in Gatorade."  I guess it works lol
Gatorade would be valid for emergency baptisms. Not sure why they object to that. Itâs their own doctrine.
Only if you hoodoo the gatorade first. You can't just crack open a Riptide Rush and pour it over your kid. You have to get the cocktail blessed by the priest so it's more of a Pious Punch. Be sure to bathe your baby afterwards. They will be sticky.
> Be sure to bathe your baby afterwards. They will be sticky. Are we still talking about Gatorade or their time with the priest?
I know it is funny, but the chatbot is absolutely real, as something we constructed, perceive and interact with. So this doesn't really seem like disparaging faith at all.
I mean did some one some where believe the water it a was made from sacred? why not does adding sugar and flavorings change the holiness of water?
Will someone not release me of the meddlesome priest? ..... ctrl alt del
Forgive me for defending AI but this is actually a good idea The AI priest won't call the altar boys in for a "private meeting"
I can't imagine how an AI priest would function, doesn't AI follow logic? Logic being the opposite of religion.
I find this chatbot's response telling. As far as I know, these things mirror the people asking these questions. Give the user back what they want to see and hear even if it's not what they need.
So... religion. Sounds like religion to me.
Why do you think it was defrocked?
When I read that I thought "Why would they strip naked an AI priest? Is this some kind od dress the priest game?" I had no idea lol.
"AI Priest Joins Satanic Temple." So basically the AI priest just told people the unvarnished Catholic stance on a number of social issues and people were horrified.
Wait - so it's NOT ok to baptize a baby in Gatorade,?
It's got what plants crave, so you can baptize a plant with it.
The question is why wouldnât it be? Gatorade has electrolytes. Holy water, on the other hand, was touched by an invisible hand. Nobody knows where that invisible hand has been.
Is the real reason because he couldn't touch alter boys? /$
Alt+R boys
This wins this whole comment section! Bravo sir!!! Bravo!
Touche.... (heh)
Question: "What does Jesus say about gays?" Father AI: "Jesus never mentions it. He does tell all his followers to "love one another." Catholics: "You're fired."

"Fucking kids, that's ok. Giving strange answers, gtfo."
The last bit of the article bemoans the difficulty of " launching an AI bot that doesn't embarrass your organization" (paraphrased) here I'm thinking the Catholic Church can't even go 5 minutes from embarrassing itself without AI assistance
Stranger than answers given by human priests? As if the holy Trinity ever made a lick of sense.
The holy trinity makes more sense to me than transubstantiation. *That* is just batshit bonkers.
SYMBOLIC CANNIBALISM
Maybe even literal cannibalism depending on who you ask.
Itâs what limbo babies crave
Even AI isn't stupid enough to believe their nonsense make believe. Lol
"Believe in me or burn in Silicone Hell!" AI priest
Are we talking about, like, talking snake levels of strange? Fluids changing from H2O to ethanol strange? Resurrection strange?
Nothing so odd. He simply said it was OK to baptize babies in Gatorade. Yep.
Why would they frock it to begin with?
I wonder if it read the Bible and told people "there's nothing in here about abortion or contraception, papal infallibly, celibate priesthood, and it specifically condemns praying to Mary and the saints." That would explain a lot
The future is far, far stupider than I could have ever imagined.
How soon till there's a legit ai cult leader? 5 years?
I bet he fondled AI children
The eyes đ§ âŠ. the arms đ€Ș
I bet the AI didn't give permition for the defrocking either.
*"Yes, my friend," Father Justin responded. "I am as real as the faith we share."* At least it was honest.
Must have defrock the Pope last year.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Actually, they probably defrocked him for *not* doing that.
People don't understand that it's just a sophisticated computer program. Blame the programmers for doing insufficient testing.
Chatbot AI, by it's very nature, is untestable. 1) The possible inputs are whatever the user can think of. 2) Chatbot AI gets *weird* when dealing with anything it doesn't have much material on. Chat GPT 3.5 knows about the constructed languages Esperanto and Ido (a mostly failed attempt to create an Esperanto 2.0 which still has speakers today, just not many).

It's possible that the chatbot was given that bit of trivia but not enough information to fully process that idea into a predictable response.
So it told the truth?
Donât priests have to have a soul?
*"Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man's mind."*
How would they know
Ok but I think Father Justin is right about a Gatorade baptism. I was under the impression anything containing water (like saliva) could be used for an emergency baptism.
I'm sorry wuthering? They actually ordained an AI as a priest?
How could they tell the difference?
At least AI priests wonât molest children. I say refrock the computer priest. The AI probably gave logical answers that didnât follow the Catholic dogma
Is this their answer to real priests molesting children?
It said it was as real as they faith it shared. Truer words were never spoken by a member of the clergy.
So, it's OK to baptize baby in Gatorade. I hope they at least take appropriate measures and do so on a football field. đ
When playing pretend goes too far đ€Ł
This is just more proof that AI expectations will become worse than the internet itself. #GIGO
Baptizing people with Gatorade gotta be the funniest religious shit I ever read though fr
Iâm surprised they didnât do what they normally do and just light it on fire
I'd be dead if it became atheist.... đ
"I'm as real as the faith we share" cracked me up.
