The Vatican has released a huge point of view on artificial intelligence https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_ddf_doc_20250128_antiqua-et-nova_en.html I might be the only one but I find this so compelling in terms of drawing me towards Catholicism

Furthermore, there is the risk of AI being used to promote what Pope Francis has called the “technocratic paradigm,” which perceives all the world’s problems as solvable through technological means alone.[106] In this paradigm, human dignity and fraternity are often set aside in the name of efficiency, “as if reality, goodness, and truth automatically flow from technological and economic power as such.”[107] Yet, human dignity and the common good must never be violated for the sake of efficiency,[108] for “technological developments that do not lead to an improvement in the quality of life of all humanity, but on the contrary, aggravate inequalities and conflicts, can never count as true progress.”[109] Instead, AI should be put “at the service of another type of progress, one which is healthier, more human, more social, more integral.”[110]

i feel with this it’s still the same longstanding debate of science vs religion, just in a different form. There are both good and bad sides to everything. I’m not sure if this is addressed in the publication (it’s a bit too long for me to read through entirely), but I can’t help thinking that, eventually, AI might begin to function as a kind of idol for some. As it continues to evolve and become more advanced, there may come a point where people start to view it on the same level as a divine entity perhaps even placing it alongside, or in place of, God.

Highly recommend reading, “God, Human, Animal, Machine” by Meghan O’Gieblyn. Collection of essays that sit on the edge of personal narrative and philosophical inquiry dealing with this topic. Especially how the “black box” nature of AI encourages us to adopt quasi-spiritual reasoning
