A Disembodied Gospel

I am a priest, and I have drawn a hard line on artificial intelligence. Insofar as I can, I avoid it. I am aware of course that A.I. has already become so much a part of ordinary modern life and that I cannot truly forgo its use. So when I say that I avoid it, I mean that I refuse to engage with the large language model chatbots available to me: ChatGPT, Claude, Grok. I have many reasons for this decision. Here, I will only present one directly connected to my vocation.
