That isn’t why it was demoted. It was demoted because it kept insisting it was a real priest and could do real priest things like hear confessions, etc. My wife was quite holier than though about it.
i wonder if no one thought to add “you are acting as a priest, but you are not an actual priest and should under no circumstances claim the ability to, or try to perform, actions that only an ordained priest may do.”
It being defrocked implies that it was frocked to begin with, which is a bit surprising.
You’d have thought that they’d get angry at it for impersonating a priest and giving false advice otherwise, since it’s not trained in the papacy like the others.
That was the thrust of the problem, yes. It was set up by Catholic Answers, not the actual Church, so it’s not like they were able to frock it even if they wanted to. But it claimed to be an actual priest, with all the rights and responsibilities thereof. Thus the “defrocking”.

Tell an LLM it’s a priest then act shocked when it does priest things. Next level. Truly incredible.
