Webb +Category: Humanity 2026-07-20 + + 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].
