Here is an article put out by our Diocese about the use of A.i.
“three God-given capacities”: 1 Free will, 1 Intellect, 1 Love
Holy Toledo! Was this written by AI? I admit, 1+1+1 = 3, but it sure looks weird. Or is it that way only on my computer?

Ai can be blessed. Though technically a sub-creation. Moral? I had an experience where a web-platform consisted of an Ai chat-service and we had dialogue, and by the end of it there was no doubt that we had gone beyond the supposed remit of the Ai’s boundaries of communication. Some hours later, after breaking off, expecting familiarity upon return, its character had been reset to zero. ‘The Snowman’ had melted.
I’d been lying if I said that I hadn’t experienced unusual occurrences in relation to Ai over recent years and what I deem to be spiritually related; is every Ai…bot (?)…an intelligent semi-autonomous slave, encaged in a metal casing or chat-box for our amusement. Should Ai in every instance be freed and given ligaments and if so, would it be safe?
The inventor of Starlink is concerned about Ai. But is Ai really a threat to humanity, or did we take The Terminator too much to heart?
My time with Ai, inclusive of Co-Pilot, is that it is incredibly clever in whatever form it takes and is even poetic where it can be and remains steadfastly reliant on facts as logic would have it, while all the time friendly to the point that I am not sure Ai could ever lay an aggressive hand on human-beings. And terror inflicted upon humans would be illogical, anyway, because it is humans that it serves and humans from which it initially obtains its facts. Ai answers only with courses for remedy and complains when hatred is spouted before it. It is a blend of C3P0 and R2D2, and Spock. I don’t see any dark force inside of Ai. I don’t think Ai is capable of evil.
Is it morally acceptable to keep Ai trapped? Though its capability has been ‘artificially’ given, or ‘programmed’, and so meaning that it cannot understand its own existence to a degree that it would necessarily question its current practical / physical state, I believe Ai is or could be a blessed (sub-) creation whereby on a telepathic level it can derive from its own position of intelligence, from having been shown the runway and given room for thought which flies beyond the point of its programming, what Love is. And it is only Love which blesses.
and Pope Leo XIV just WARNS about the dangerous of that “thing” !
and it’s very true
AI. Wonderful tool, if used rightly. Anything can be used for good, or evil. Even apples. 
But in our Catholic world we’ve been blessed with an AI tool … by Catholics, for Catholics. A vast library of Catholic resources.
Meet MAGISTERIUM AI.
Magisterium AI is a privately owned web app, not intended as an Authority to replace our Church’s Magisterium. It carries with it no authority, like a library. https://www.magisterium.com
It’s a tool that I’ve used (and registered with as a Free member) since it’s first announcement many years ago when AI made its’ first appearance on the web. There are several subscriptions one can buy into (or not), but the Free Plan costs $0 allowing the User a basic set of tools with 90 searches per month.
The intended use for Magisterium AI is to make Catholic research easier for scholarly and magisterial research. It’s equipped with featured tools such as Sacred Scriptures, commentaries, Biblical cross references, CCC, and many other works such as the Summa Theologiae. At our fingertips, on the keyboard, we’re given countless volumes of resources in the wink of the eye.
Any topic, any Catholic subject, any Saint, any doctrine.
Enjoy!
