"The Lord God then took the man and settled him in the garden of Eden, to cultivate and care for it."
Laborem Exercens (John Paul II, 1981)
John Paul II wrote that work is not just about the product; it's about what the process does to the worker (Laborem Exercens, 6). When AI eliminates the craft of building, it risks reducing human beings from creators made in God's image to consumers who merely prompt. The dignity isn't in the output; it's in the sweat, the learning, and the act of co-creating with God.
Reflect → When you hand a task over to a machine, are you freeing yourself for higher work or just avoiding the discipline that shapes your soul?
