"Does This Unit Have a Soul?": The Problem of Using AI For Spirituality - That HelPol Witch

Generative AI, as already stated, is not ensouled. It isn't even artificially intelligent in the way this is typically described. It just spits out what it calculates as what you want to know. It is not a divinatory tool; it is a prediction machine.
