[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Love this because it's not just I Think You Should Leave but because Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson are Detroit treasures specifically.

Whoever did this knows Michigan ball, and I can't help but feel the campaign got permission from Tim to use this.
