AS SEEN ON
AS SEEN ON
Ben wrote When Intelligence Isn’t Human out of a growing conviction that something critical is being lost in this generation. As fatherlessness and the absence of real mentorship continue to rise, he has watched a dangerous substitute take its place. Artificial intelligence is stepping in to simulate connection, guidance, and even empathy, but without truth, accountability, or a grounded moral framework.
Through his work with Engage Your Destiny, Ben has reached more than 300,000 service members. In that time, he has seen firsthand the weight of isolation, trauma, and spiritual disconnection inside the military community. Now, as AI becomes more integrated into daily life and even institutional systems, he sees a new layer of risk emerging.
Technology is no longer just a tool. It is becoming a voice people turn to for direction, identity, and comfort. This shift raises urgent questions. What happens when the place people go for guidance is shaped by algorithms instead of truth? What happens when something designed to mirror human care replaces it entirely?
When Intelligence Isn’t Human was written to confront that reality. For Ben, this is not a distant concern. It reflects a broader cultural shift where technology is stepping into roles it was never meant to hold.
