If you haven't heard, the Pope published an encyclical titled "Humanitas Magnifica," in which one of the topics he addresses is the rise of AI and it's impact on society. Short version, AI can be a valuable tool that requires vigilance, but can never replace the human person. So here's the thing. As many of you know, our extremely popular Saint Trading Cards were prototyped using AI. The first set we released used AI generated images, and we quickly learned how passionately some people oppose it's use. We did more research and solicited input from several artist friends. Shortly thereafter, we made the decision to begin commissioning original art from human artists. We knew this would result in a longer timeline and much higher costs. But we also believed that it would result in a better product and stronger Catholic community overall. Since then, we have released 3 new sets featuring human art, with several more in the works. And we've paid out 5 figures in commissions to artists. We feel really good about the direction these products are headed, but... ...it honestly bothers us that Set 1 is still for sale. Once they sell out, they won't be restocked. But we currently have a couple thousand packages left. Then this week, we had an idea: In response to the release of MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS, we are steeply discounting, then discontinuing, this prototype Saint Card set that used AI art. All proceeds will be used to commission more original art from human artists. 50% off retail, $7.49 per set of 16 cards instead of $15. No coupon needed. And the bulk bundles are still active, meaning if you buy 9 or more sets, they are only $6 each. Help us sell through these so we can help the Pope disarm AI.
