Este artículo ofrece un análisis eclesiológico del discernimiento en unas condiciones configuradas por la inteligencia artificial (IA) generativa. Examina cómo la IA generativa puede remodelar la escucha sinodal al producir resultados estadísticamente centrales que pueden confundirse con la recepción eclesial. Tras aclarar el papel teológico del sensus fidei fidelium en el discernimiento, el artículo analiza cómo los modelos de lenguaje de gran escala generan respuestas mediante predicción probabilística, tendiendo a la convergencia y a formulaciones ponderadas hacia el centro. Tres tensiones estructuran el argumento: quién es el sujeto del discernimiento, qué tipo de consenso está en juego y cómo la dinámica centro-periferia se ve afectada por la centralidad estadística. Un estudio exploratorio presenta tres patrones empíricos: inestabilidad de los resultados según los prompts y los ajustes, desplazamiento de los registros de autoridad epistémica a través de la voz generada y supresión cuantitativa de señales minoritarias bajo procesos de agregación y resumen. El artículo concluye con criterios teológico-pastorales que distinguen los usos aceptables bajo condiciones de aquellos imprudentes, subrayando la agencia, la trazabilidad y la atención a los márgenes.
