Pope Leo XIV doesn't want priests using ChatGPT to write their sermons.
The pontiff made the directive clear during a closed-door meeting with clergy from the Diocese of Rome on 19 February. He called AI-generated homilies a 'temptation' and compared the brain to a muscle that weakens without use. His remarks, published by Vatican News the following day, mark the first time a major religious leader has issued a direct, practical instruction on AI use in worship.
