A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Will Wilson, CEO of software testing company Antithesis, told a panel at Catholic University of America that AI will not cause mass unemployment because human desires are infinite. However, he warned AI could make people "more stupid" by reducing critical thinking. The panel discussed how Christians should consider AI, its threats, and the church's role in the debate, with additional context noting an exorcist convention decrying AI's potential for 'necromancy'.
