Rage Against the AI Chatbot with Marc Barnes

In this episode, Robert Mixa welcomes Marc Barnes, editor of New Polity, for a conversation about the sudden rush to insert AI chatbots into our lives without much consideration of what we are really doing. Even Catholics have come to love AI. From Catholic Answers’ “Fr. Justin” AI app to Magisterium AI, Catholics have embraced this technology. It’s time to hear from a Catholic who is calling us to hit the brakes and think. Maybe large language models are not just neutral tools that can “save time” and “meet people where they are.” Barnes dismantles these claims and revels in his rage against the machine.
