Yes, I agree, my personal tagline I play around with is: "the future is human"
It's supposed to be witty marketing. There's always value in zagging when people zig. Tons of energy and interest in AI and automation, I think it's reasonable to see a counter-balance of value in deliberately human, small-scale, ephemeral experiences/actions/art.
During the metaverse craze my tagline was "the Metaverse is 2D". It's pointing out that for all the effort to cross the uncanny valley, people continue to love retro 2D games, animal crossing, and I personally love the artistic style of "Paper Mario" where 2D characters navigate a 3D world.
Anyway, all to say, I'm with you that there's something really brewing in an "answer" to TikTok, Meta, Metaverse, AI, etc, etc not even that theres' something "wrong" with these pursuits, rather it's just really exhausting, and low-fidelity experiences that lean on old world humanness is a break that feels good, increasingly.
- asim 3y agoThanks that's really positive to hear! And I agree. Where everyone is talking about AI I'm really thinking, what does a private human only network look like. We should really just all go offline but in the digital world that means going private and not letting AI see our conversations. You can bet every corporation is now running chats through AI. You have no control over this. Plus yea the addictive nature of social media has made it really hard to detach from it. If we could slow down the pace, maybe we give ourselves a chance to reset and recover.
- holler 3y ago> "the future is human" I concur strongly, there are seemingly daily new "ai" chat bot apps and yet I personally don't see human behavior fundamentally changing any time soon. Chat will always be primarily about humans and not bots.
- asim 3y agoI really like this idea. No bots. It's quite refreshing considering everything is about to get AI-ified.
