US President Donald Trump has attracted criticism from some Catholics after posting an AI-generated image of himself as the Pope.
The picture, which was shared by official White House social media accounts, comes as Catholics mourn the death of Pope Francis, who died on 21 April, and prepare to choose the next pontiff.
Using AI to show a political leader as a religious figure is wrong and hurts believers.
Agree or disagree? Why?

Maybe: It depends on if it was meant to hurt or just to be funny.
People should be free to make any AI pictures they want, even if some people get upset.
Is freedom more important than respect?
Yes: Free speech is most important in a free country.
No: With great power comes great responsibility.

Social media should block all fake AI pictures of real people in important jobs.
Would this help stop confusion?

It depends: Context and intent matter a lot.
AI pictures of real people should always need their OK first.
How would this work for public figures?

Middle ground: OK for private use, not for public posting.
Religious symbols and leaders should have special protection from AI fakes.
Should some things be "off limits" for AI?
Yes: Faith is deeply personal and needs respect.
No: All ideas should be open to talk about freely.
Balanced view: Not special rules, but extra care and thought.
People who post AI fakes should say clearly "This is not real" on the picture.
Would this solve the problem?
Good idea: Helps stop confusion and lies.
Won't work: Labels get removed or ignored.
Better idea: We need tech that can't be removed from images.
Political leaders using AI fakes shows bad judgment and hurts trust.
Does how a leader uses technology matter?

Schools should teach children how to spot AI fake pictures.
What age should this learning start?
Essential: This is a basic skill for today's world.
Not enough: Adults need this learning too.
More needed: Also teach ethics of making AI images.
