+                          The Human Advantage
+
+Abstract
+
+   We're more powerful than you think, intrepid reader.
+
+Body
+
+   I came across a post[1] today that touched on AI and what that means
+   for creators. In many conversations I've had with friends worried
+   about this new landscape, I've been emphatic in my belief that no
+   matter how capable AI gets, it'll never replace human ingenuity and
+   creativity. I say this as an avid user of LLMs (I'm not a fan of the
+   "creative" variants like generative AI).
+
+   The way to differentiate yourself from "AI" (Assumed Intelligence)
+   and make yourself stand out, period, is to just be you. Be original.
+   Be imaginative. AI will never beat human expression and the lazy
+   humans who will use AI to generate ~~art~~ shit will **never**
+   be interesting.
+
+   Imagine, if you will, the reductive example of a hammer taking over a
+   carpenter's job. Ridiculous! We have 3D printed houses now but the
+   three houses that we built/renovated around the corner from my home
+   have had real people working on them for the past year. Technology
+   evolves, roles get adjusted, and that carpenter is advising startups
+   that the fancy vacuum seal process they created still needs nails for
+   security and peace of mind. Maybe, idk, I'm not in that field.
+
+   Despite the job market (terrible), cost of living (too damn HIGH),
+   and our governments (you kidding me?!), I believe we're entering into
+   a time of renaissance...hmm, Resistance Renaissance?
+
+   You should write that novel you've had in mind for the past 20 years
+   and publish on books.by[2]. Release that music and put it on
+   Subvert[3] and Bandcamp[4]. The world is yours, you don't need
+   permission but in case you do; go ahead. Do it![5] 🕸️
