Generative AI is often discussed in terms of accuracy, risk, and automation, but its deeper significance may lie in how it alters the division of epistemic labor and the practical conditions under which human beings pursue truth, form judgment, and cultivate lives worth living. This paper argues that AI should be understood not simply as a tool or rival, but as a new participant in already collective processes of knowledge production and interpretation. Even prior to AI, human knowing depended on distributed practices, institutions, traditions, and communities of judgment. Generative AI intensifies and reconfigures this condition by changing how inquiry is delegated, how authority is perceived, and how intellectual labor is shared. The paper focuses on the anthropological and theological implications of this shift. Modern anxieties about AI often presuppose an overly egocentric picture of human thought, in which intellectual value depends on the visibility and primacy of the individual knower. Against this, I suggest that fruitful human-AI collaboration may require a disciplined form of self-decentering, even self-forgetting: a willingness to subordinate personal intellectual prestige to a broader search for truth and wisdom. On this point religious thought offers important resources. Theological traditions have never regarded human beings as the only possible source of wisdom; they have long insisted that truth may come from beyond the self, and ultimately from God. By placing contemporary debates about AI within this wider theological horizon, the paper explores how AI unsettles modern assumptions about authorship and agency while inviting renewed reflection on humility, discernment, and human flourishing.
