Thank you for making and maintaining AtoneNet all these years. I could see each community creating surveys each year to gather the confessions to be used in a similar way for that particular community. It is sad that the creation of AI has intruded and discounted the global connection internet users enjoyed since the 1990s. A number of people did away with phone service for the reason of intrusive marketing calls. Perhaps online community spaces that accommodate participants from across the planet will be more private to exclude the fake personas presented by AI. This is a sobering read and another change of eras that I knew already yet was not focusing as much time on mentally. Blessings to you and may your creativity flourish in surprising and exciting new ways.

I don't understand your motivation. So what if an AI makes a confession. If it speaks to me then it has value. If it doesn't then I'll ignore it.

I hear you, but how is that different from just reading the traditional liturgy? Both are attempts to represent a community symbolically rather than literally.
