Humanity has always fashioned idols in the form of golden calves, carved images, and high towers. Today, we have built a new one: artificial intelligence. isAIah imagines AI singularity as an oracle, exposing the costs of our devotion to technology, profit, and progress. In dialogue with Ekim the Prompter, isAIah unmasks the social and environmental sacrifices laid at its feet: fractured communities, rising inequality, and an earth groaning under exploitation. Its voice is unsettling, yet not without hope. Even as it names the false gods of our time, it gestures toward love, justice, and renewal. At once poetic and prophetic, isAIah offers a haunting critique and a provocative invitation. It asks what we worship, what we sacrifice, and what future we are creating, and dares us to imagine another way.
