Hello, how do we know the difference between typical sin and its consequences vs demonic attacks or possession? Without over explaining, I feel as though there has been very little joy in my life since I was 3 and instead have endured a lot of suffering. I have always trusted God and pray everyday, but have not been great at going to Church in the last few years. I also have had a few situations where I knew a demon was harassing me or near me, but those happened years ago and I just learned my great-grandfather was a high-ranking Freemason. I was wondering if it was advised to renounce these oaths myself or if I should consult my Parish?
My question is about AI. In several episodes, Father had recounted how demons can influence the material world. In specific, how text messages and voice mails were an avenue for demonic attack and harrasement. Would this not then also apply to Artificial Intelligence, specifically LLMs and any text-based dialogue with an artifical intelligence? Could demons, in fact, "infect" (so to speak) artificial intelligence to the point where one may think they are dialouging with an AI, but in fact be conversing with a demon (and thus inadvertently opening themselves up to attack). Is this possible? And if yes, how does one protect themselves from the new world of AI in this context? Thank you so much, and I really look forward to hearing Father's council on this.
