  • I greatly admire the intention in writing and posting about Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Heaven.

    However, it is disappointing to see the usage of generative AI (Chat GPT, etc.) used to explain these truths, rather than them being expressed in one's own words. And yes, sometimes generative AI can get things right and simply writes in a way that may come across to some as more eloquent or fancier. But it often gets things wrong as well, and is not a reliable source, and at the very least I would be concerned with accuracy. I know little about theology beyond the Baltimore Catechism and basic Catholic doctrine, but in other fields, generative AI often states things using grandiose words that mean almost but not quite the same thing, and it strikes me that something like this would be exceptionally concerning with regards to theology, which usually requires pinpoint concision.
    Your dragging doubt into people’s minds and can not refute any of the contents you simply disagree with the format.

    I don't think the user is saying anything in your post needs to be refuted, just that AI can and does convey things as true that are actually false..so when talking about something as important as theology you have to be able to spot error. 
    I use it sometimes to find exact quotes from papal teachings and always double, triple check because it will just completely make things up. For instance, I gave it a query to provide exact quotes of Popes specifically referring to heretical sects, false-Churches, or 'branch theology'..it returned 8 quotes, 5 of which did not actually exist! 
    John 15:19  If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

    Exactly, the user is me. And as the user its up to you to give the proper inputs and guide it with facts and edit it with caution. Some people will be more diligent with this than others and you can eliminate the errors for your desired outcome. But the results you get are entirely unique based on the information you provide. No two will come out the same and if I put out false information it is not the machines fault I will own it! 😎 the future is here and like any technology how you use it will make the difference. If you only want to cater to the echo chamber then we will not be expanding the gospel into the new digital age. It is what it is.
