This is my fear with AI and other tools. Consuming more will not make us any better. The whole point of existence is alchemy: the art of changing as a person while doing something.
No matter how fast we can produce or consume, there will always be more of it and everything will have less meaning.
I remember those first blogs. They indeed had a personality and a quirkiness we have since lost from the internet.
- jmbwell 4y agoI was recently looking through WordPress themes. I remember some years ago, it was easy to find all kinds of quirky themes that were easy to quirk up even further. Today, there are lots of well prepared themes, but they’re all fundamentally the same: designed to “monetize” “content” with the broadest possible “reach” for someone’s “brand,” in service to modern “creator” culture. And just as you say, the more of it there is, the less any of it seems to mean.
