Artificial intelligence and advancing technologies are on the rise. No new news there.
However, the type of technology we are seeing and the capabilities it has, are ever new. Large language models like ChatGPT, Grok and DeepSeek are replacing the need for search engines and making life more manageable for countless people around the globe. From aid with email responses to writing cover letters for resumes to one-on-one tutors and brainstorming assistants, these tools are revolutionizing the human experience—for many.
Increased technological power ought to cause the human person to reflect on life in a different way. The rise and influence of AI is causing many to consider deeper philosophical questions. What does it mean to be human? If a machine has more knowledge than I do, is it better than me? What jobs will AI replace? What is the purpose of education if machines can relay any fact we need and accomplish any intellectual task much quicker than human beings?
