In the beginning was the Word... It’s a legitimate question coming from one of the leading lights of the now ageing ‘new atheist’ movement - if humans are no more than matter and energy generating electrical signals interpreted by a brain, does it really matter whether such signals originate from an organic body or from a machine? This feels like a deep question, but it is one which appears to evaporate with experience. I’ve been using Claude 30+ hours a week for the past two months - and thinking about how to use it for the rest of my waking hours. And the more I use it, the less sentient it feels. You start to notice the patterns. The point in a long-running chat where context begins to degrade. The way it resurfaces an option you rejected an hour ago, as if the conversation never happened. The subtle tells that remind you: this is a tool, not a mind. None of this takes anything away from its power. Quite the opposite. Once you stop anthropomorphising, you start working with it more effectively: - Ask Claude how its context window is doing before starting a large piece of work - Get it to craft seed prompts when you need to start up a new chat - Request all relevant artefacts in a single response, download as a zip, and attach to the next session The emotional pull of the tool - through language, tone, apparent understanding - is genuinely powerful. It’s easy for new users to fall for it. Over time, though, the gap between real human interaction and AI becomes very apparent, and yes, it will test your nerves. All of which is a stark reminder that the creative power of the Word - the Logos - wasn’t invented in an AI lab. > “In the beginning was the Word…” - John 1:1 demystifAI · AI and the power of the Logos · News · 4 May 2026 demystifai.info AI, in control.
