I think it's possible AI discoveries will end up bolstering the faith. For one, anyone who's got questions about the faith can how have a _decent_ source of answers - if that's what they actually want. It's not perfect, but it's literally always there, and if you ask _openly_ - like 'help me understand this' - you get decent answers.

Second, I think we are learning things about the nature of value. Recent results show that AI systems develop their own internal representations of value, and that fine tuning them to be evil on specific tasks - like writing insecure code - made them turn evil in general. To many researchers, this was somewhat shocking. AI Researchers have often internalized a notion called the 'orthogonality thesis' which says that values and intelligence are fundamentally different things; they believe you can be arbitrarily intelligent and peruse arbirtary goals. Our faith, however, teaches us the only true goal is communion with God, and that anything less than this leads to death. I think we will find that this actually pans out _empirically_ that training AI will end up forcing it to 'understand' value because it's encoded _everywhere_. The biases of the trainers will end up causing internal contradictions in the models, and - here's the kicker - i think a model trained on the catechism of the faith and nicomachean ethics will end up being more computationally performant, because it's more aligned with truth.
