I like this 1980s Kim Gordon quote to partly explain why AI wont supplant human art: “People pay to see others believe in themselves”

A rural farm scene with a weathered barn and fencing. Two horses, one white and one brown, trot in a pasture under leafless trees. A few geese rest near a pond on an overcast day.
A hillside cemetery with numerous headstones scattered across green grass. Leafless trees line the top of the hill against an overcast sky. Some graves marked with small American flags.
View from a cemetery overlooking a small town with mountains in the distance. Weathered headstones dot the grassy hillside, a main road with trucks and commercial buildings runs through the valley below.
A crescent moon centered in a twilight sky above dark clouds. A gas station sign glows against a orange and purple sunset.
Many horses wearing colorful blankets running across a fenced pasture as the sun sets. Bare trees line the horizon, black fences divide the farm fields.

A herd of white and black cattle gathered on a hillside pasture, warm afternoon light. A pond reflects winter trees, wood fences visible along the fields.

A brown horse wearing a halter standing in a dimly lit barn, looking directly. Natural light filters through windows, illuminating the wooden stall walls.

Interior of a rustic barn with exposed wooden beams. American flag hangs from the ceiling, several horses stand in stalls below.

Pope Leo XIV: Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #Al to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.
“…every design choice expresses a vision of humanity.”
