    What if the most unsettling question of the digital age — "Is this AI?" — is actually the oldest question in the Bible? From the serpent's whisper in Genesis 3 to the Logos of John's Gospel, Drew traces what happens to the human soul when we can no longer trust the words we hear.

    What happens when a billionaire uses the language of the Antichrist to silence the people asking the hardest questions about AI?
