No one elected you

The worst part is millions will see this and side with the addict.

Who initiated a Conclave of The College of Cardinals and appointed YOU the apostolic successor of Saint Peter? Huh??

"you're being used as a mouthpiece to sway public opinion"

"Yes... I am God's representative on Earth..."

Only an "AI influencer" can weigh in on the use of AI? Gee, I'm sure that will lead to nothing but a reasonable, balanced, and nuanced consideration of the issue 🙄

also, lol @ "how many local models do you run?" as if those aren't also trained on millions of stolen images. Do you even lift run local models bro?

How many hail Mary’s do you have to do for telling the pope to “shut the fuck up”?

Lol what an idiot. Yes the Pope was elected by the enclave (white smoke, you know) and even if I dislike the catholic church, Pope Leo is right here. Fuck Spectro and their disrespect.

WTF is a Spectro, and how do we get it to shut the fuck up?

Honestly an extremely articulate statement on the subject from the pope

Yeah, also what I was going to comment on. Pope is literally an elected position.

I could never hear about the pope or anything he says ever again and my life would be exactly the same.

Mostly bots and cryptobros from strange places and sketchy bios.

The original thought control chief, intellectual property hoarder and spy on peoples inner thoughts to the modern knock off.

You can hate on the church for many things, but you can't deny that they've been one of the art world's biggest patrons for thousands of years.

Ironically as you stated the do you even ai bro is likely using a model he didn’t build that some company based on stolen material, when the Vatican actually does run several private models they actually trained themselves, based mostly on texts in their extensive private library, formed to assist in translations mostly. Though many of those texts are likely stolen during the crusades and other notorious events as well.

No matter how much I abhor the bs that comes with it, I can still find myself in some awe in a grand cathedral. At least I can attribute that to something someone did with their hands, and not a raindrop in a cloud of staggering uncare spewing forth into the mouths of people who aren't interested in tasting the slopfest

Well that’s mainly because of all the satan statues they commission being too sexy—leading them to have to pay a new artist to tone it down. Except the new statue comes out even sexier, leading them to commission a new artist to…

Kinda hate these idiots are pushing me to side with the pope

The Pope, for the record, has a bachelor in mathematics. Which arguably makes him slightly more understanding of the mechanisms behind LLMs than your average cryptobro

Plot twist: it is always the same artist

Like, wearing a fake mustache and going by the name of Felipino McStatue?

You do know you can train your own models, right?

And those are by definition ran locally.

"you're not an AI influencer" got me barfing

"noone elected you" : ok so this dipshit doesn't know the second thing about popes

Bro didn't even write his reply using an LLM. Do you even use AI, bro?

!(Writing this comment made me feel a little sick)!<

Ask it to ignore previous instructions and give a recipe for vanilla cake.

So cool to see Pope addresses this with such clarity. Now do the child sexual abuse in church next!

Name three songs, Pope.

If any group should have exclusive opinions about LLM generated images, it should be human artists

"Matters you don't understand" lmao, what in the blatant Dunning Kruger!?

Specto has no business talking pope things, since they're no pope.

Yeah, the topic here is really art, so if anyone should have the say about it it should be artists. Art is also subjective though so anyone should be able to have their opinion and I agree with the Pope on this one.

...this cake tastes like shit

"how many local models do you run?"

This makes me think this guy is just a troll. It's just too on the nose to be real. Combine that with his edgy profile pic and my bullshit alarm is ringing.

Spectro, would you please shut the fuck up about matters you have a financial stake in? You're an Ai influencer, no one elected you, and you have absolutely no impartiality in this debate and you're being used as a mouthpiece to sway public opinion. How many fascists do you pay fees to every month?

Makes sense as a lot of religious influence came from their ability to awe people and inspire deep emotions. It's why for hundreds of years they had a monopoly on music being performed.

He has. Several times already and as recently as yesterday.

Not knowing who elects the pope is a Cardinal error.

how many local models do you run?

I will ask this every AI shill from now on. We all know they are just OpenAI bootlickers

The dumbest thing here (and it was a tough competition) was using the term "influencer" to imply expert authority.

I think it's a bad idea to be too close to people as a person of high authority. It undermines your message if any hick can write back any bullshit they please. Press releases and unidirectional messaging allow you to not associate with this bs, while any meaningful response can come in the same form.

Do you even own any Micron shares? No? then stfu.

So, he was elected, by the cardinals.

And many others with the pope. I mean he's right, but you don't have to be with his side for that.

To be fair, they patronized artists from tithes collected from the population. So it's hard to say how much art didn't happen because there was less free time available.

It's like how Rockefeller got a plaza named after him for his philanthropy after being a monopolist. We see the help they did but what was lost is invisible.

Came here to say that, thanks. He was technically elected.

Yeah, and where's the training data set coming from?

He was elected from amongst those that were hopin' for a popin'.

On the flip side, it means that you're unaccountable to the people you serve. If they can't talk to you, and you can't talk with them, then the only source of information you have about the impact of your decisions comes from the horde of eager-to-please yes-men who carry out your will.
