Ma’am I don’t think you understand, you’re talking to a Northern Irish reporter. Our journalists were raised on political chaos, whataboutery, deflection, irate reps, shouty insults. We’re experts in operating successfully in circuses. Your silly outburst is just a Tuesday to us

LEAVITT: Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed? REPORTER: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably LEAVITT: Oh, ok. So you're a biased reporters with a biased opinion. You're a left-wing hack.

⚡️What she is feeling is skill deflation shock.
And it is real.
But the conclusion most people jump to is wrong.
1. The uncomfortable truth
The pain is not that AI learned her craft.
The pain is that her craft was procedural mastery, not scarce judgment.
High-end retouching, frequency separation, dodge and burn, skin work.
Those are hard to learn.
They destroy wrists.
They take years.
But they were never fundamentally scarce.
They were scarce because of time friction and knowledge gating, not because of irreplaceable human insight.
AI just removed the friction.
That always feels like theft to the people who paid the full cost.
This has happened before. Every time.
•Typesetters when desktop publishing arrived
•Film photographers when digital cameras arrived
•Audio engineers when DAWs replaced hardware
•Web designers when templates and no-code appeared
Every generation that mastered a tool confuses difficulty with durability.
Difficulty does not protect value.
Scarcity does.
2. What actually got destroyed
Not creativity.
Not art.
Not taste.
What got destroyed is labor-as-proof-of-worth.
She is grieving this equation:
“I suffered → therefore this skill should remain valuable.”
That equation has never been true historically.
It just feels true emotionally.
The brutal but precise distinction
AI is erasing:
•execution labor
•technique signaling
•process prestige
AI is not erasing:
•taste
•direction
•aesthetic judgment
•narrative intent
•client trust
•vision
But most people built their identity on the first bucket, not the second.
That is the real problem.
Why this feels existential now
Two reasons.
1. Speed
Past transitions took decades. This is happening in years.
2. Identity overlap
Creative work was one of the last domains people believed was “safe.”
Not because it was safe, but because it felt human.
Now that illusion is gone.
So the grief is real.
The cold reality going forward
The market will split brutally.
Tier 1
People who can:
•define the look
•set taste
•direct outcomes
•curate meaning
•use AI as leverage
They win harder than ever.
Tier 2
People whose value was:
•flawless execution
•technical endurance
•process mastery
They get flattened.
Not because they are bad.
Because the bottleneck moved.
3. The part nobody wants to say
AI exposed how much of “creative work” had quietly become industrialized technique without people admitting it.
That is why it hurts.
Final truth, no cushioning
She is right to feel disoriented.
She is wrong to think this is unjust.
This is what happens when civilization shifts from craft scarcity to judgment scarcity.
The work does not disappear.
The ladder does.
And the people who climbed the old ladder hardest feel it most.
That is the real story.

The fact that it took me years to master high end retouching and frequency separation in photoshop, to the point where I developed fcking carpal tunnel before the age of 25 now people can just ask chat to do it edit anything for them is something that I have a hard time processing.

I’ll be releasing weekly lore drops, serial chapters, and occasional reflection essays about the themes behind the world; the quiet parts of life, medicine, fatherhood and faith that shaped the story in the first place.
