    You'd think they would quietly move him to a different web site.

    This is one of the more absurd cases of "somehow trying to jam AI into your workflow, because AI!!!" I've seen.

      > The AI priest also told one user that it was okay to baptize a baby in Gatorade.

        But it has electrolytes. It’s got what sinners crave.

          I haven't been actively catholic for a while, but I don't think there is any real prohibition against using something like gatorade for baptisms, assuming it was properly blessed.

            Incorrect in two ways. Water does not need to be blessed for baptism, any ordinary water will do, from holy water to dirty water from a muddy puddle. However, it must have the species of water, so it must not be wine, milk, or gatorade.

              I have reviewed the CCC but I can't find the language of "species of water". Where did you find that?

                Gatorade is like 94% water, probably more water than most 'dirty water from a muddy puddle'.

            Even Neal Stephenson probably thought that an AI priest (now lay theologian) was a stretch for Reverend Wayne's Pearly Gates in Snow Crash, and yet here we are.
