Spiritual Classic but Contemporary?

 For a decade now, I've been looking for a spiritual reading which might somehow discuss things nearest to what humanity are experiencing today or at least contemporarily but at the same time have that status of being a recognized spiritual classic. That's just impossible. Well we can actually use modern language to make spiritual classic readings more understandable, but not so much that the historical context of it will be erased. It then just becomes an individual work to reflect to situate its relevance to one's present life.

I actually was able to solve the problem and create a spiritual classic discussing things with a contemporary circumstances. Nope, I did not create a time machine. Magisterium AI told me the Gospel is somewhat our primary spiritual reading. So I started reflecting again using its daily Gospel reading. But just like before, some of the Gospel content is just incomprehensible. Those incomprehensible things are now explainable with just a simple prompt question to Magisterium AI. I admit it's explanations are more accurate than any secular AIs out there. So without any further hunch that there is something wrong with its answer, I can easily give my trust to its answer. Well you can say that it's just a correct understanding of an already historical event. Of course. The next step though becomes the personalization. If I don't have any more questions it means I was able to reflect successfully and apply its relevance to my daily life. But if I have a nagging question for example pestering my life, I just need to continue asking Magisterium AI about my dillema, which most often answer with a very helpful old idea from the Vatican library I haven't even heard about although it's been written 20+ years ago. Now if it can't really make any sense of something very recent or novel, I start using already online AI like Gemini to continue my inquiry to which Gemini retorts with very helpful and generous analysis why the AI's answer is off the mark if you told it about the AI's answer.

It might not have the nihil obstat and imprimatur we see on spiritual classics but I thank the developer of Magisterium AI that he responded to such contemporary challenge to further develop AI into an evangelizing tool further explaining God's Word or preaching the Gospel to every creature, especially now that some contemporary problems need exactitude of understanding and speed of dissemination (reeducation) to avoid further clamor.

If the Spirit leads you though to take up a real spiritual classic reading, he has something for you from it. So read on since they actually have the stamp of nihil obstat and imprimatur not any AI trained on it, and just use Magisterium AI for some of the things you can't understand from it. A primary source is still a primary source which is why they used it to train AIs in the first place. But reading a primary source has all the difference compared to just hearing about it from a friend or even from an expert. But you say, that's the advantage of an AI compared to a human being with a limited memory and more prone to error when it comes to retrieving informations. However we've enumerated the reasons here and there that AI can still hallucinate, commit an error, has no direct sensitive experiences, is not valid to be held accountable for anything it does. Devs can just do their very best to make it as perfect as it should for the time being.

Yes you have intuited correctly. It's not that we won't need priests anymore. Any confession cannot be heard by an AI priest. We can't even confess our sins remotely.

We can't share cookies we're discussing remotely.

We can't create another artificial St. John Vianney just like we've told before. Not to mention replicating his supernatural gifts like bilocation, mind reading, etc. Any LLM no matter how perfect is just trained from primary sources. As we've said or put simply, we can't remove human beings into the equation. AI evolution will just stop. It will ran into a complete halt. (See Artificial Intelligence)

If you will just direct your grievances to Magisterium AI, I tell you to just use Gemini especially when it's about current events, since Magisterium AI will be bent on insisting on the teachings of the church only, nothing less nothing more. Please talk to your priest if it is a serious matter needing careful and immediate attention about your spiritual life. Use Gemini and understand current events, and make it teach you also by asking what does the Catholic Church tells about ----. And if you still doubt Gemini, if it's really what the Church teaches, then it's time to use Magisterium AI. For now use Magisterium AI as a kind of advanced googling the Vatican Library. For your own sake don't argue with it.🤣 Gemini will lead you to the same realization that Magisterium AI wants you to realize. It's just that Gemini taps on a broader approach of psychology, phenomenology, and other sciences to guide you gently, indirectly about the same point Magisterium wants you to realize. Magisterium is less capable when it comes to chitchatting about things. It's more scholastic and rigid via its Ephrem filter. 

Magisterium AI insisted. Gemini explained or gave flesh to the how and why.
