As an American, I see how fast we run toward innovation — sometimes without pausing to ask what we might be leaving behind. This post is a sobering reminder: AI can mimic words, even simulate emotion, but it can’t feel. It can’t mean what it says. In a culture already flooded with shallow talk and performative gestures, we risk falling into the same pattern with machines — honoring with lips, but not with hearts. Let’s not trade truth for convenience or soul for simulation. There’s something sacred in being real, in feeling deeply, in loving imperfectly. That’s what makes us human — and no machine can replicate that.
