“Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” — Proverbs 18:21

Language is not neutral. It names, it frames, it shapes how we perceive the world. In Genesis, the first task God gives Adam is to name the animals. Words are not just descriptors—they’re definers. And in our present moment, the words we use to talk about artificial intelligence are quietly—and dangerously—redefining what it means to be human.

This is not merely a semantic problem. It is a spiritual one.
