AI makes it easier than ever to create—but easier doesn’t always mean better. Gerson and Derick explore the rise of “AI slop,” how mass-generated content is changing creativity, trust, and attention, and why skill, diligence, discernment, and a genuine desire to serve others matter more than ever in an AI-saturated world.

What can the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls in the Book of Nehemiah teach us about artificial intelligence?

Gerson Nazareth and Derek Desouza explore one of the biblical images highlighted in Magnifica Humanitas, drawing parallels between Nehemiah’s response to a city in ruins and the challenges AI is creating for work, relationships, community, human identity, and culture.

Rather than asking whether AI is simply good or bad, they consider a harder question: What must we rebuild, defend, and rediscover if technology is changing our understanding of what it means to be human?

Gerson and Derick explore the Tower of Babel as a biblical lens for understanding AI.

They discuss how Babel represents humanity's pursuit of power and self-sufficiency, and draw parallels with AI—particularly the rise of large language models and the ability of individuals to accomplish what once required teams.

The central concern is that AI could make us increasingly independent of one another while leaving us spiritually and relationally isolated.

The episode concludes by looking to Pentecost as the antidote to Babel: rather than isolation and self-sufficiency, the Holy Spirit creates communion, understanding, and community.

We're launching a new podcast called More than Intelligence to explore and discuss topics related to all things faith and AI from a Catholic perspective. This initiative came about as a response to Pope Leo XIV 's latest encyclical "Magnifica Humanitas".
