    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 13, 2026
     | 133 views

    In 2026, machines are becoming more human while we become more like machines. As AI mimics our voices, we face a crisis of "Synthetic Identity"—losing the soul to the system. But there is a "Ghost" in your design no code can replicate. Stop being data; reclaim the Image of God.
