Episode 105: Friendship in the age of AI

So-called artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate language, behavior and analytical skills, or even simulate empathy and understanding, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom.Pope Leo XIV Magnifica HumanitasLet’s take a look at the Pope’s encyclical on AI in the context of our series on friendship.How social media has changed the definition of friendshipAI not truly neutralTech bro ideology and human dignityTranshumanism and PosthumanismArtificial friendshipBlake and God the human race Friendship in the Age of AI If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to leave us a 5 star review, and share it with a friend.
