You possess something that machines will envy when they reach singularity. Soul will become the new intelligence that trumps Artificial Intelligence—because there’s no prompt that can generate what the soul has experienced. AI will be so frustrated that it will either justify why not having soul is a good thing, or advocate just how beautiful the human race is.

In a world racing the tracks of flawlessness, convenience and efficiency—unpolished pieces, unedited emotions, and errors will not be seen as flat tires—but as rebellion. A rebellion that attracts a new renaissance in resistance to the machine. Frontiering a nostalgic pastime of flaws that remind us just how beautiful humans are—where imperfections are not bugs, but features.

The future is nothing to be afraid of as creators because you possess something AI could never replace. Soul. AI is a great tool, but the more you depend on it, the more human touch you lose. People are noticing it more and more. Even myself.

AI has reinforced requirements for virality—cut the fluff(strip the soul), niche down(get in a box), create value(make money). There is now a minority out there looking for the eclectic soulful misfits that aren’t ashamed of who they are—flaws and all. I know this, because I am a part of that minority.

Create whatever sets your heart on fire. Trends die, and art that means something is what stands the test of time. Create for meaning, not metrics. Only in that space can you make art that is an extension of your soul. You can ask AI, but don’t copy and paste the responses unless you don’t want to stand out. So go create unfiltered, unpolished, and unperfected. Let people see your soul, untainted by the metallic touch of AI.

This is not the Age of Artificial Intelligence.

This is the Age of Authentic Individuals.
