1:51 THATS PARTIALISM CHATRICK
Come on Patrick!
No, Patrick it's Modalism. Come on Patrick. Yeah Patrick.
Who knew? Boy there are many chats out there! Thanks Fr. Casey
@@scottedwards1209 get it together and listen to the Lutheran who made a satire video years ago, Patrick!
I'm not saying that I'm a big deal, but yesterday, Father Casey followed me on "that other short form video app." Now I definitely have to tighten up my act.
Haha, I get that!
To me, AI is like a map that gets better and better. But no matter how good it gets, we still have to take the journey itself.
To me AI is like having my little brother read the cereal box to me.
CryingCroc, I agree! The tools of technology can give us increasingly better tools and aids, but we still have to do the major work ourselves!
I find the best analogy for it is an eager intern fresh out of graduation. While it can get a lot right, it is *strongly* advised you double check everything it does.
When you ask "can ChatGPT answer my question?" What you're really asking is "can the thousands and thousands of priests who have written their thoughts on the internet answer my question?"
The wisdom comes from humanity. ChatGPT is just the delivery method.
This is why it’s so important to ensure that tech tools like Chat GPT and other technologies do not fall into the wrong hands and are therefore not used for evil purposes - those working in the tech industry and in tech companies have a grave moral responsibly to ensure that this tech tool is used responsibly and why it is so vitally important for them to incorporate safeguards into their tech tools to prevent misuse
Fr. Casey can you make a video addressing the negative stereotypes against Catholics
You mean like how their priests are child abusers and they by supporting their priests are supporting child abuse? Terrible stereotype.....but if the cap fits.
Idolatry, worshiping Mary, faith AND works, Bible AND Church tradition, rote prayer, wh@re of Babylon, Papal Infallibility. I think these are all the usual suspects that Prots always bring up, even though all these things can easily be refuted by a Catholic Apologist
Please! People have been kind of mean to me at work. It makes me sad when they do this.
@@ciscornBIGThey should ALWAYS look to themselves, or LISTEN to themselves, if they bully somebody. 😮😢😡 If you dage, illustrate it via this image:
Pick up a piece of paper and tell them:" This is the mind or feelings of a person before bullying."
Then crumple the paper violently.
After that, udfolde the papir again, and say:" This is the mind and feelings of a person, AFTER bullying..." I am sure, that they will get the point.
Yes, in the UK many people are dismissive of Catholics because of historical child abuse at the hands of the clergy. You can just say "we are not all like that, some of us do good" but it is a hard point to refute, due to it being so often true (I can personally vouch for that!).
We wanted technology to take over disagreable, dangerous tasks, like working in mines or sewage, not to take over art and spirituality!
It needs the training data. We just don't have a great system to monetize training data.
We wanted houses to shelter from the elements yet the poor are still homeless and the rich have multiple homes.
@@kevinkelly2162 Those who don't believe in things outside of themselves always think themselves wise. It's only when you actually have an external source to check against that you see how complicated it is to develop a working interpretation of objective things.
I would not advise people to be uncritical. I would advise them to be at least as critical of themselves and their own ideas as they are of others.
@@OttoKreml You have no verifiable outside source. You just make stuff up
The fact that modern technology is rapidly reaching a point where it is taking over so many aspects of our society and our lives and could lead to serious consequences is a concern that is indeed very real - it perhaps explains why my grandparents generation when I was a child in the 1970’s and a teenager in the 1980’s were so totally opposed to both the TV and Vatican II in the 1960’s, the internet, computers in schools and mobile phones in the 1980’s, as they were very concerned about what it could potentially lead to, something that they consistently impressed upon us when I was growing up - over 40 years since their passing, many of their predictions and warnings about potential consequences have indeed come to pass and have in many cases been proven to be consistently correct and accurate in our times
9:20 About the sources... While it is great that AI can help us find sources so quickly, I've noticed that, sometimes, the sources ChatGPT or other AI provides are wrong, this is probably because, as great of an illusion of a conscious being AI is, it simply reads and provides whatever info it finds from certain sites, and if those sites got it wrong, then ChatGPT will present the same error.
Always double check the sources it provides. Don't just rol with them.
2:00 That’s Modalism Patrick.
And with the sun one, "That's Arianism, Patrick!"
Hey ChatGPT, do you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?
Chat GPT is a computer program and is not sentient being capable of being saved.
It also doesn't need salvation, because it can't sin.
@@mjr333it’s a joke lol
@@GSJason7 where is the 😂 emoji?
@@OttoKreml And you couldn't really blackmail it with eternal fire since it can't feel
To be fair, if you're not satisfied with its response, you need to tell it that. That's how it grows.
Still, you have to admit that ChatGPT is impressive. Barely a couple of years ago, I couldn't have imagined something like this existing yet here we are.
We are now living the AI era. ChatGPT is just of the tools. In truth, there are already hundreds available out there, both free and paid.
I’m getting confirmed this Sunday, thanks for the way you your videos have given me inspiration
You are becoming a Pod.
These generative AI can only give you answers based on what data it has been given. You could have a AI that is trained specifically on all Catholic documents (Bible, in different languages, Cataclysmic, other writings). AI can look up information much quicker than people and notice patterns better than us. This is just a tool not a replacement for us.
It would be interesting to try and have ChatGPT do an episode of Upon Friar Review. I wonder if it could try to make jokes, or participate in relevant banter. Can it use the camera on the phone to watch movies and react to them?
For the vast majority it is more than sufficient, nobody or anything gets to the end of learning
@@br.m Doubtful. I've played around with ChatGPT a lot, and while it provides an impressive illusion of agency, you begin to notice it has a tendency to use fluff and use a lot of words to say very little. It's fun to mess with, but it gets old fast.
Exactly. Have it read the bible, our catechism and other Catholic documents.
i would use the analogy of a person wanting to learn how to play basketball. they could ask chat gpt or watch a youtube video, but in the long run, you still have to go to the gym (church), practice your jumper (faith) and find a coach (priest).
Faith is also an emotional aspect vs only an academic philosophy. Chat GPT will tell you the answer tailored to its audience, but it won't believe what it is saying. Much like a student who writes a paper to meet the professors view on a topic, even if the student doesn't share that view. The goal of Chat GPT is to give an answer that will satisfy the asker. But it has no feeling about it.
Which is why it isn't a replacement for humans, as their feelings are important too.
Wow, this has been awesome Father. I’m so glad you did this. In invoked a lot of thoughts on subjects I hadn’t considered.
This is both impressive and scary at the same time. It is outstanding that such AI tools can canvas, within seconds, a mindboggling amount of information to come up with an answer. However, if people start using it as a primary resource of knowledge, instead of going to a consecrated person or faithful parishioner, they may get many of the facts right, but they will lack the spiritual connection that can only arise from human interaction.
I love this channel. Love it! Great video. Thank you for it.
Clever, current, concise take on this topic.
Witty but not flippant. Just great work - 😘
Great video! Would love more like these for sure
Fascinating! Thank you Fr Casey!
Here's my idea of a Trinity. An electron can exist in a superposition of many different quantum states, and so can God. We can even write it down as follows:
|God> = 1/√3 ( |father> + |son> + |ghost>)
Just pure quantum mechanics!
Divided would be partialism
A typical BS interpretation of QM like other "paradoxes", esp. clock/twin one in Einstein's Relativity: a state of...Schrodinger's cat! "Trinity" is a description and not a name (individual or general)-B. Russell, AD 1910, Principia Mathematica#14.02! Mark 10:18,12:29. I've got some experience/confrontation (public ones at Universities,Toronto and Organized directly by the Holy Spirit: ). Now, I am carrying a J. Wayne's Winchester (Lk 22:36) as a word- arguments don't work (in general).Fr J.M.Bochenski OP tried to ridicule some Sunday's preacher's idiocies about the subject: an imaginary that of a pregnant man (FAther) with a child (Jesus) but still he was ignorant of the Bible's hermeneutics (CCC110) then tried to defend the (logical) fancy of the metaphorical Credo formula
Excellent! Keep it up! Thank you!
This video reminds me of a story when Albertus Magnus (St. Albert the Great) created a mechanical head out of brass that would answer questions, when his student St. Thomas Aquinas saw this, he was either horrified or annoyed, so he smashed it into pieces.
What?
This reminds me of how people had to protect a lens that was being transported across country to be fitted to a telescope from christians who wanted to destroy it. Religion thrives in ignorance.
Please elaborate
❤🎉strong aplause you did an incredible video, love it.
Very enjoyable. Thank you
I worked at a bookstore years ago (remember those?) and I came across a book called Christian Prayer for Dummies. I upended to a random place and it was about public prayer and suggested several guidelines that were very much like basic principles I learned in Public Speaking class in college.
I got to around 11:40 before I realized this video is actually a homily about serving the poor
As so often with Father Caseys videos. 👍
Perhaps your best video.
Great video, thanks
I see ChatGPT as searching the internet, but much more efficiently. Eliminating muda and saving time. But also gets inside fundamental books, which are summarized, understood and managed by it. It is like having a genius assisting you.
This is absolutely amazing!
Awesome video, thanks for making it. I just tried the Catholic Answers AI (Justin), I shared it with a few fellow parishioners and was meet with negative feedback. I think they are scared of potential demons in the machine. I thought the answers it gave were super helpful though. Hopefully videos like this will make people less fearful of what they don’t understand.
This is great! Now that you have an exciting new sidekick you can get back to doing Upon Friar Review.
Where 2 or 3 are gathered in my name, there I am among you. -ChatGPT doesn’t count as one of those individuals. But ChatGPT is a fantastic tool. Many of the answers may have seemed generic (I don’t think they were), but ChatGPT has the ability to go deeper, when you ask. I loved this video.
What a great video! Thank you, Father Casey! Loved this, so informative. AI is a great aid - The Lord is giving us more and more help to get to know Him so that we can love Him and serve Him. We have less and less excuse to plead ignorance ☺😇☘
Really love this video bcos this is a favorite use case of ChatGPT for me. You have made me realise that I can go even much deeper with it. And Yes Father, you're right; NOT A REPLACEMENT!
I downloaded a prayer/ devotional/scripture app. You can also ask a pastor for prayer or just a question. I know it's AI but it's spot on. Actually some of the better advice I have received.
Not a replacement for a void homily. Absolutely. But you yourself pointed out in a previous video, how often is a memorable homily preached. One of my main issues is a priest who delivers the Mass in a droning voice. He actually sounds bored. Those are the times you walk out of church. You know you sat, kneeled, and stood but remember nothing else. If the priest isn't into it, then that's a problem.
Great idea!!!
11:06 That one caught you off-guard. XD
If an AI gives a reference, be sure to verify that it is correct or even exists. An attorney got in trouble for using AI & not double checking. AI can make up stuff that sounds really good.
Exactly. But it at least gives you a place to look.
What an incredible demonstration that technology is not evil. Love it.
I would not teach an A.I. A computer could never replace the compassion of a Human Being.
Very interesting
This was a better show, where referencing St. Anthony and St. Gregory input! Where it’d be good to have homilies from these folks!
Good Job for what it matters!
Very good video exploring generic ChatGPT. The questions are key. Additionally, easy to define a custom GPT centered Catholicism with emphasis on patristic fathers through Thomas Aquinas. I get much more thoughtful answers then.
No hate intended, Father. I really enjoyed your expressions during this video! 😅
As much as 'prompt engineering' gets joked about, it is clear that the prompt questions you ask help provide the accurate responses.
Catholicism also benefits from significant written records. Both in actual sources directly, and online resources that explain to a more lay-person level.
You also have the level to validate the reponses. Something lay people might not.
The homily brainstorm example was great to show it can be a tool in the hands of someone who already understands the concepts.
An electric screwdriver is great, but if someone doesnt understand the difference between a phillips head and a flat head, the better tool is to learn how to use manual screwdrivers first
You got a very good Chat GPT. When I tried using it, it couldn’t answer basic questions-like what states border California? I wrote it off as a wildly overhyped-but useless-tool.
This program you used demonstrated exponential growth from what I used.
Hello from Puerto Rico Father . Very interesting but nothing can ever replace human interaction as God intended 🙏
1:59 PATRICK!!
Great 👍
father Casey saying 'snap' is my roman empire
I think ChatGPT is a great tool for researchers. By that, I mean for fact checking, getting sources, getting links to the sources, etc..
73 which has 66 books 😂
Smells like justification..😂
The one with adivce on stopping porn addiction was CRAZY accurate. That covered most if not all the things one would give in that situation
This is so freaky. The times we live in, are freaking amazing. I'll test my triggers tonight. See if i can replace "the deed" with prayer. Sometimes, they both happen. But I'll try my best to refrain from sin.
You can hold press on the screen to keep talking to it
I asked Chat GPT about the Catholic faith in late 2023 and it presented some common misconceptions about the Church as facts, such as it thinks some people are better than others in a couple of contexts. I corrected it and it apologized of course.
You should add a prompt before asking the questions such as "answer all my questions as if you were a Catholic theologian" or "as a Catholic Bishop". You probably would have gotten better answers.
Yea most of the problems with Chat GPT come from poor prompts.
It def has its problems but I’m excited at how helpful it is.
If you are called to both marriage you can consider deaconhood or priesthood in the Eastern Catholic church
Not all Eastern Catholic Churches allow marriage in priesthood, and a deacon is not quite a priest.
@@what-st8nu true. But these are still things you could consider if you fell you are called to both marriage and priesthood
This is the right use of technology. Fascinating!
Google Confessor (TM) - coming soon... in my nightmares.
ChatGPT was released less than 2 years ago. And the advancements in those 2 years have been amazing. I think it's very likely that further improvements are coming. I wonder how advanced it will be 2 years from now. Or 20 years from now.
Agreed with it’s not a replacement, it can’t tell when someone is crying and provide human connection. Answering questions, great but hopefully the Church will never try to use it to replace a Priest.
Only Casey can out smart a non-sentient entity.
What about The Ethiopian Bible - 81 Books - contemplating getting one ~~~
That Bible would not be true with more books; please try to be careful.
There are modifications and apps in gpt that are Catholic. One is Catholic scholar. I use it to get an idea then develop it myself with real sources
7:13 Can it answer that if you give an actual date (and probably remind it to stick to Catholic answers)? I’m honestly not sure there
Great question. I'll have to watch this video after work.
Quora question for Fr. Casey, questions many want answers to, where they need answers to their questions so they can progress onto what is more significant!
Why do demons pick certain people?
Hey chat GPT.... If you were to start an original religion. What would it involve and who/what would you praise or worship?
On the last question. I’m a former atheist that had returned to the Episcopal Church. While not an actual Catholic, more like Diet Catholic 😉; I think Churches with a High Church approach have something of great value to offer those that are growing tired of post-post-postmodernism or whatever nonsensical simulacrum is festering in our culture.
I was willing to take a Kierkegaardian leap towards something greater than myself and a belief in Love and Beauty as a springboard to a Belief in the saving grace of Christ is a wonderful start. The world is empty without Love and Beauty and I’m slowly learning that Love and Beauty cannot be sustained without the Grace of God.
Hope you come back home soon
i actually use chatgpt with common theological question, but I make sure it is in the context of catholicism
Im a scientologist (yes really) and asked chat gpt a bunch of questions about my religion and it did much better than i expected though wasnt perfect. Kind of similar to how it did with the catholoc questions
Only human with heart and feelings can pray for another fellow human being. Never a machine is able to do the same service that will be truly meaningful to reach out for God.
I've been consistently amazed at the level of respect gpt and it's take off show towards faith. It's just not something I expect from technology anymore.
Father Casey what do you mean by it's 'too late' when one gives in to their triggers? For, example, if one clicked on a pornographic website but stopped /left before 'doing' anything would that be grave sin or not sin at all?
Thank for this video. God bless.
I’m saying that at that point it is all up to will power and the flesh, and most are not able to turn the ship around. Obviously we still have free will and should try, but you’ll be much more successful if you avoid the triggers in the first place
Mainly it's not grave sin provided one does it exhausted and at midnight (in that case what's more of a sin is the fact of awakeness at that hour itself).
It'd be a grave sin if one clicked on it with full sunlight at like 4 PM at the office - full knowledge, active will and breaking the moral wall by chosing it as an activity, an entertainment.
Really depends on in what spirit one "clicks".
@@BreakingInTheHabit So clicking on material (the near occasion or closeness to sin) isn't a sin, but fully committing it is, correct? Of course, we should remain chaste, but as a late teenager struggling with Scrupulosity and sexual desires, I have often found myself close to, but not fullly committing some actions.
I'm surprised that letters from High Demon Elgrim weren't brought up.
❤❤❤❤
This feels kinda sweet and freaky at the same time lmfaooo
Fr. Casey, this was very interesting AS A TOOL! For the lay-person, we may not catch subtle errors based on the conversation. AI can help me as Catholic for reminders and preparation but should never be a replacement of active life engaged in Church, family and community.
Father Casey, I have a question on the second commandment 'Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain'. I often hear people who use God's name whenever they feel surprised, anxious, overwhelmed, or frightened. Many justify it as a word of prayer. But, to my understanding, it's simply the oral outcome of their emotions rather than a sincere prayer or praise. What's your understanding?
Just when I started to think that ChatGBT was a waste of time! Now I need to learn how to use it rather than ignore it. Frankly I was amazed. God hits me over the head with a 2x4 again. He caused the rust to be all over everything, he can clean it up! 😊
I wish the answer to you about how a priest could do more mentioned the music of the church and not just architecture or art. There is more than 1,000 years of incredible music that feels thrown away in the current Church.
NIV is unfortunately the default Bible translation of chatGPT. I had to tell it to stop using NIV. Only Catholic-approved Bibles for me.
Would you pray for father tryphon ( rocor )
Dear Brother Casey,
I just watched your latest video on Breaking the Habit where you used ChatGPT as a source, and I must say, it was incredibly insightful and well-presented! It's amazing to see how technology and faith can intersect in such a positive and meaningful way. Your thoughtful approach and the way you integrated AI into the discussion were truly impressive.
Thank you for continuing to provide such valuable and inspiring content. Keep up the fantastic work!
Blessings
(this text was created with chatgpt)
I wish it was a few weeks ago and we could’ve heard the voice of essentially Scarlett Johansson giving tips to Father Casey. // I’ll borrow an idea from an article. I read about ChatGPT accuracy with medical topics. Father Kacey was a little disappointed in a number of the answers, …but had father Kacey been listening to a lay counselor or even some priest counselors, giving short recorded answers to short questions, he might also have been a little disappointed with many of the answers he heard.
Is this chat gpt 4o or 3.5?
Serious question, Fr. Casey. As I mentioned in my previous post, I’m a big fan of ChapGPT. I did recently take into consideration that I’ve used the system to get information, or clarity on a spiritual topic. I’d prefer to sit with my parish priest however that’s not always an option. My question is whether you believe this could be a potential gateway to Satan? Since we’re accepting answers to questions about our faith from AI, does it open a door to Satan to influence us against the Christ and His church? I listen to videos from different catholic exorcists, and I understand some of the power of Satan, does he have the ability to control ai, or does he perhaps skew our interpretation of what ai returns? Again, I’m not suggesting that Satan possesses the internet, I’m questioning on whether it can be a gateway for someone that’s already being pursued by Satan.
Unrelated but I saw your video on capital punishment earlier because I got into a debate on whether or not its right for us to decide such a thing (I am opposed to it). While I understand what Paul said about following governments because no authority is there unless given by God, what about governments like the USA who make it clear about separating Church and God. Yes there is influence from Gods law but our system is not perfect and I'm still confused about it
I am actually frightened by this...😮
What you meed is Verbum even the cheapest version
There are actually Catholic chatbots like ChatGPT out there.
As a traditional Catholic from an Irish Catholic background and as an older gay man who was very much involved with the gay community for many years, I have serious reservations about AI and Chat GPT, indeed all of modern technology - if the globalist elites wanted to get rid of all forms of religion including the Catholic faith, with only this digital reference potentially available for future generations, it would simply be a matter of deleting and removing all content relating to religion and religious faith from these online apps
The last question he asked her about the challenges think the biggest one is lack of belief in the true presence of Jesus Christ in Holy Communion within our own church
When trying to decide between Priesthood or Marriage, it should've suggested being a deacon. I think that would've been a good answer. @breakinginthehabit, any thoughts on that? I'm a huge fan of you by the way 😀
You should use my Catholic GPT programmed with Catholic responses lol
I have a question for ChatGPT. ChatGPT how do i know if I'm going against the magisterium.
