@MrsRuvi Absolutely, and it's totally fair that people draw a line at different spots. That said, I feel typical use of GenAI is less morally problematic than buying t-shirts from Wal-Mart or getting my yearly flu vaccine.
My hot take is that it's okay to hold the laity to a higher standard than the bare minimum, and I'm glad my pastor expects more from us (even if, at times, I choose a different standard than what he would set for me).
Last Sunday, our pastor touched on proper reception of the Blessed Sacrament, proper dress to Mass, and appropriate fasting lengths before receiving the Blessed Sacrament and for a second there I thought he was speed running Catholic Twitter discourse topics.
@MrsRuvi Intellectual property rights and generative AI are a legit issue worthy of discussion. But I do not consider asking ChatGPT to generate an image of happy kitten IP infringement for a similar reason that I don't consider the Twilight franchise an IP infringement of Bram Stoker.
@friarchrisg Don't miss out on stopping by City Hall. Absolutely beautiful artwork is inside decorating the halls and its free to go up to the observation deck.
@SeamusNua Reminds me of when I stopped to get a Mountain Dew at a vending machine, and a bus driver had to honk the horn at me because my 2yo in the grocery cart started to casually drift into the parking lot.
Anyone can talk about justice, feeding the poor, and supporting peace, but demons can't even pretend to defend the dignity of the true outcasts of society.
@OVTweetmarck@EdwardVersaii Yes, but you're a dad who will soon meet your child. And speaking from experience, watching yourself grow old is made easier by watching your children grow strong.
