Satirical Q&A Mocks Pope Leo XIV's Encyclical on AI
By
The Onion Staff
Hard crust, hollow middle. Skim only.
Summary
A satirical article presented as a Q&A about Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical on artificial intelligence. It humorously describes the encyclical as a "company-wide email" skeptical of AI, jokes that the title is a filename like "Magnifica_Humanitas_final.docx," claims the pope called out the Domino's customer support bot, and suggests the Vatican wrote about AI because its SEO rankings were plummeting. The article is clearly parody, not a serious news report.
