Chapter 2: What warning did Pope Leo give about AI in homilies?

13.008 - 29.262 Kim Komando

In the Pope's words, resist the very real temptation to prepare homilies with AI. And while you're at it, stop focusing on gaining social media likes with your sermons. And I love this. Stop seeking the illusion of connection on social media. Real spiritual connections will not come through TikTok or Instagram.

Note here that the Pope is focused on the falsity of social media and not prayer apps like the widely popular Halo or Prayer.com. AI is a major temptation to everyone. There are places to use it. Preparing homilies is not one of them. Get TechSmarts every single day with my free newsletter. You're going to love it. Five-star rated at GetChem.com.

No, I'm kidding. That's what he goes by. He said that it's real. It's called Sweet Pea. It's two pill-shaped pieces that snap into an egg-shaped case. Two peas become an egg. Got it.

You know, speaking of names... I have my Wi Fi is named FBI surveillance van. Right. And it has been forever. It has been. And the name of my phone is my little phony. Your little phony. Okay.

205.295 - 231.238 Kim Komando

Or how about my favorite one, and a friend of mine has this, when I go over to his house, and it's very crash, but the name of his Wi-Fi network is, It Hurts When I Pee.
