The End of Imagination: Tolkien’s Theory of Art and the Question of AI, by John Hartley

By John Hartley, Catholic Exchange - AI as an artistic mode, used to create images, stories, scripts, and more, deprives the artist of the creative activity, the exercise of the rational mind that is necessarily involved when engaging in artistic activity... AI, as the modern artist’s medium, perhaps becomes the image of our own creativity, but it lacks in so many ways the spiritual and relational ties that we as artists share with the living Creator and with each other ...

By Andreas Wailzer, LifeSite News - The official X account of the Vatican’s heterodox Synod on Synodality has deleted a poll after 88% of the participants rejected “synodality.”... On Thursday, July 26, the Vatican-run account Synod.va started a poll with the following question: “Do you believe that synodality as a path of conversion and reform can enhance the mission and participation of all the baptized?”... The poll ran for 24 hours and shortly before its conclusion, 88% of around 7,000 participants had voted “no,” an embarrassing result for Pope Francis’ Vatican ....
