Typical lemmy hate:

“The unique human capacity for moral judgment and ethical decision-making is more than a complex collection of algorithms, and that capacity cannot be reduced to programming a machine, which as ‘intelligent’ as it may be, remains a machine,” Francis wrote.

“Any number of urgent questions need to be asked. What will be the consequences, in the medium and long term, of these new digital technologies? And what impact will they have on individual lives and on societies, on international stability and peace?”

Lemmy: "Fuck him! This is unreasonable coming from a religious leader!" But when the same questions are asked by laymen, "Yeah, this is serious. We should think on this."

I'm a stone-cold atheist. Seen a couple of Popes come and go. This guy is as good a man as I've seen on the throne. I'll allow it.

Also, morality has been observed in many species other than homo sapien.
