Pope Leo speaks out against AI slop

Original: Pope Leo comes out swinging against AI slop

Pope Leo has publicly criticized low-quality AI-generated content, often called AI slop, that is flooding the internet. The remarks add the pontiff's voice to a growing backlash against mass-produced, machine-made media cluttering online spaces, and signal that the Vatican intends to weigh in on the ethics of artificial intelligence.

Why now: The head of the Catholic Church publicly criticizing AI content is a notable and unexpected addition to the debate over generative AI's impact on culture.
