Why is it impossible to apply common sense and critical thinking anymore? Especially when it comes to the AI Debate, it seems like people have actually been insane. On one side, AI Bros are in love with the technology. They don’t do shit, but they pretend very well. The talk the walk a lot, but don’t walk the talk much. Behavior is like pressing the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time in a car. Furthermore, they all want to make money fast and easy with AI. On the opposite side, people don’t want AI to enter every single layer of society. Everything AI is Slop. Period. The same story repeats itself when a disruptive tech comes along. This time it feels different. We are far passed the point of « AI is just a tool, » « it only predicts the next token, » etc. Ai Is a powerful cognitive prosthesis, and it’s not going away. We don’t need a chip in the brain to be enhanced. However, we gotta admit very few achieve anything significant. Everyone is a customer, playing the game for a handful of God Complex filled Silicon Valley gurus. There is a tangible human moat, but nobody seems to pay attention. Out of the 4 main human assets (wisdom, creativity, emotional depth and adaptability), one makes a massive difference. Creativity is the main asset AI can’t take away. Problem is people’s taste suck, enshitification of everything is real, money is the new God. It seems that art is unique to the human race. Other animals make art for biological purposes. AI doesn’t have any taste. AI doesn’t care and doesn’t know why it does what it does. If you place art as the main driver behind everything you do, amazing things happen. Of course, it’s necessary to cure the obsession of making $ millions first. Money comes along with making good shit. Challenge is you fake it. Identifying pain points of a buyer persona and vibe coding a SaaS with Claude is not the way. Being obsessed with making really cool stuff is the way. Look at what AI Bros are building. It’s all useless crap nobody cares about. They believe to be the Messiah. On launch date, thousands of people will hurry to pay the $20 monthly subscription. Make cool stuff. Make art first. AI can help craft the thing, but the idea must come from within your soul, heart and guts. Search inside your head instead of interacting with a sycophantic over aligned AI Chatbot. We used to be able to do that. If you go all in on this forgotten skill, you will always win.
