I don’t know about you, but I can spot AI content from a mile away now. The videos, the blog posts, the photos—sometimes it’s so polished that it almost feels lifeless. You read a paragraph and think, yep, no way a human sat down and typed this out with messy feelings and half-formed thoughts.

And honestly, I think we’re all getting a little tired of it. At first, it was shiny and cool. But after scrolling past the tenth “AI-generated wisdom post” in a day, it starts to blur together. It’s like eating too much candy. Sweet, but you don’t actually feel good afterward.

That’s why I think we’re going to swing back the other way. We’ll start craving the raw stuff again, the slightly clumsy words, the uneven rhythm, the things that feel like they came straight from someone’s heart. The kind of writing or art that makes you pause for a second because it feels alive.

Now, does that mean AI is doomed? I don’t think so. It’s not going anywhere. But it does mean that the products of the future—the AI-native ones—will need to make space for us. For the personal parts, the quirks, the voice that sounds unmistakably human. AI can be a tool, sure, but it can’t replace the thing that makes people lean in and really listen.

So maybe the challenge isn’t “AI versus humans.” Maybe it’s figuring out how to build tools that help us create more us. More of the good, weird, honest, heartfelt stuff. That’s the content people will still want in five, ten, twenty years.

I guess I’m still wondering: how do we make sure AI helps us write with more soul, not less?
