AI can—and will—do many things better than humans. So what does that mean for us?
Have we ever stopped to ask why?
Why are these tools designed to outperform us?
And ultimately—who are they meant to serve?
There was a time when humanity did not live by the sweat of its brow. Work did not consume every waking hour. And what did that leave room for?
It left space for walking with God in the cool of the day.
It left room for deep relationships between man and woman.
It left room for presence, creativity, and communion.
But something shifted.
When people took their eyes off relationship—off loving God and one another—and turned inward, seeking self-pleasure and self-exaltation, everything began to unravel. When humanity tried to be God instead of walking with God, things went haywire.
Technology itself is not evil. In fact, it may be a key to unlocking a better life for many. But the moment technology is used for self-glorification instead of service, it becomes distorted. When tools meant to help others are used to elevate ourselves, they lose their original purpose—and that’s where corruption begins.
Think about superhero movies. Someone is given extraordinary power, and a choice immediately follows:
Do I use this power to take—to exploit, to dominate, to rob?
Or do I use it to protect, to heal, to save?
That same choice now sits before humanity.
AI gives us power like never before. We can use it to build community, restore relationships, and glorify God—or we can use it for self-indulgence, control, and ego. If AI is used to serve love, truth, and human flourishing, its purpose is fulfilled. But if it is used for self-glory and isolation, it becomes destructive.
The question isn’t whether AI is good or evil.
The real question is: what kind of people will we be with the power we’ve been given?
Heroes—or villains?
