It is my opinion that AI and Catholic are a dangerous combination.
Visit Substack.com . Search "Catholic AI." There are numerous sites. I spent 30 minutes looking into this.
One of the "Catholic AI's" is Jєωιѕн. I'm sure of it. They've twisting our teachings!
Also, I've turned off " AI Learning " settings in Privacy.
Please rethink your association with AI. It's trouble. You'll be used.
Used by what? My tools? Are power tools from the devil as well?
You do realize I have full control over all of it? No information, text, etc. even leaves my server to any questionable business or organization.
Nor will any of them receive a cent from me. The software and AI models I am starting with are free.
How can I be "used"? And what am I going to be used "for"?
I bet you don't know much about (what everyone calls) "AI" or how it works. It's a cross between software, linear algebra, and a database of numbers.
You have touched on a good point however. We don't want to let some wishy-washy, questionable, pseudo "Trad" to step in and make the Catholic generative AI website (like ChatGPT). They could feed in pro-Conciliar data, pro-error, etc.
Imagine their answer for "What is sedevacantism?" or "Who is Archbishop Lefebvre?"
And it could be worse than a Novus Ordo Catholic -- they could be a plant, controlled opposition, a Jew, etc. and we can't have that. Which is why I'm doing this project.
I, on the other hand, am a solid Trad Catholic that -- frankly -- you can trust. I mean, objectively speaking. Regardless of how much you like me, or agree/disagree with me. With me, at least you know what you're getting. I'm a known quantity. I have written thousands of posts on CathInfo you can go back and read; I've posted a lot of personal details here and there. I've run CathInfo for 19 years.
When I populate the database that helps AI to do its job, I'm going to choose CATHOLIC works of solid reputation.
I have been Trad since birth and am not controlled by anyone. I have the infrastructure and skills to do this project.
I plan to "pass the hat" to buy any needed equipment to scale up the new service/website, once I have a public, functional, "beta" of sorts.
Just like with the CathInfo server, I want to "own everything" -- no rentals, no subscriptions, no services, no monthly fees. I'd rather buy something for $1000 than commit to paying $10/month forever.
Any software, scripts, config files, data, notes, books, PDFs, etc. will be owned and kept on physical media as well. It's the only way to go.
This is going to be a completely "off grid" AI system, as it were. Of course it uses electricity and depends on the Internet for people to access it, that's not what I mean by off grid. I mean it's totally private, uncensored, and fully under my control/supervision.
