I haven’t applied to be pope yet. Should I?
Yet another article about someone who loses their shit while chatting with ChatGPT. Yes, this guy applied to be pope.
I don’t really understand this phenomenon. All the AIs I interact with – but especially ChatGPT – have tried to moderate the conversation (er, yes, I’ve run a few nastygrams past them). I mean, they’re awful kiss-ups, but they certainly wouldn’t encourage me to apply to be the holy father.
I have to believe you have to have one foot in the loony bin to have this reaction. I’d love to see those chat transcripts!

Pardon, but unless I’m very much mistaken, you can’t be the Holy Father.
Uncle Badger perhaps, but I doubt the Church is going to start handing out grubs and worms at the alter on Sundays to accommodate his dietary preferences.
