Pope Leo XIV—who's become a remarkably familiar presence in the pages of PC Gamer of late—has once again taken to the pulpit to exhort us to be careful about this "AI" nonsense. In a message for the 60th World Day of Social Communications (which is actually on May 17), the Bishop of Rome implored humanity to take better care of its face and voice in our era of AI-driven deviltry.
"Faces and voices are sacred," wrote the Pope. "God, who created us in his image and likeness, gave them to us when he called us to life through the Word he addressed to us." That is to say: our father in heaven would very much like you to take care of that gift, and not to confuse the faces and voices of humans with the ersatz faces and voices of LLMs and other tech baubles.
