Last Friday, I got a text from my manager, Cam:
"Who do you think is doing AI content creation right?"
I said:
"Lol no one"
Increasingly, I see AI everywhere- the check out lines in airports, the customer service chats on websites, every Google search, and probably half of the sentences, images, and videos I get served online are made with it. But when it comes to the creators I follow, to my knowledge, they are all still real people, hitting real record buttons, on real cameras, showing me real things from their real lives.
I tell myself that it will always be this way. I tell myself that real people follow real people, that I will always follow real people. But I also used to tell myself I would never pay for an AI service like Gemini, and, well... now I do.
And while I like to think that an AI chatbot is far from an AI creator, or a creator who proudly and heavily uses AI, tech moves fast, and AI isn't regulated. So I actually think those two things aren't too far apart. One is simply opening the door for the other.
Right now, I don't really have a solution or a huge takeaway, but I do have a hope. I hope that real people continue to value real people far more than the 0s and 1s that will someday make up all the AI people and content we are certainly going to be seeing more and more of. And I hope that the majority of creators we love continue to make real things, grow and shape organic ideas, and always use real people to bring 'em to life.

I was back on my chill beats to work to game last week and stumbled upon ford.. It's low-fi, but with more personality, and I'm totally hooked.

thursday drive - ford.And well, with this one, I don't remember where it fell in the order. But for some reason, it has the same feeling as just getting out of high school, it's the first warm day of spring, and I'm driving home in my friend's messy af honda accord with all the windows down.
