Irreplaceable gift

In a digital encounter event, Pope Leo tells how Ai can never replace the unique gift that is all of Us.

Ai can process information quickly, but it cannot replace human intelligence. And don’t ask it to do your homework for you. It cannot offer real wisdom. It misses a very important human element. Ai will not judge between what is truly right and what is wrong, and it won’t stand in authentic wonder, before the beauty, the beauty of God’s creation.

There really isn’t any reasoning going on, just extensively backed statistics. And Ai doesn’t really think, but we do. We need to hone that skill.

So be prudent, be wise. Be careful that your use of Ai does not limit your true human growth. Use it in such a way that if it disappeared tomorrow, you would still know how to think, how to create, how to act on your own, how to form authentic friendship.

This is what deeply worries me. Without proper supervision, students might mistake overeliance on Ai tools to produce results as a success. The true success is the journey towards the output. At best, LLM tools should assist students, not slop out finished products for them.

Remember, Ai can never replace that unique gift that you are to the world.

Each of us is a gift. And if the tech bros can’t see that or willfully go about their day despite the fact, then, like King Antiochus, they’ve secured their demise.
