For some reason LW is obsessed by the idea that this encyclical (specifically its Italian version) was written with the help of an LLM.

The Pope has not charged Catholics worldwide to burn down the data centres. Cool as that would be.

If we just push a littleee bit harder we can get there. Never give up!
