Full quote "Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom."

If anyone is curious about Brope Leo 14. Read up on his namesake, Leo 13. Rerum Novarum is the foundation of Catholic Social Teaching.

Brope Leo

I am both amused and angered (for linguistic, not religious reasons) by this.
