Quantity is the game. Connection is the win.
Last night my feed felt like a copy machine jam.
Endless AI posts.
I almost believed the lie that speed equals meaning.
Here’s what I’m seeing and again these are my opinions.
AI makes quantity cheap.
That pushes humans to make connection priceless.
This week a reader named Jasmine M. emailed me about the Prompt pack.
I redid a prompt and sent it back.
That’s connection. Not a transaction.
Here’s what I’m seeing.
AI makes quantity cheap.
That will push humans to make connection priceless like its been doing we don’t value the connection just the transaction.
Fast fashion is here for content.
Tons of styles. Zero memory.
It fits quick and falls apart faster.
We’ve all owned a shirt we wore twice and tossed.
Content can feel like that too.
Pretty. Replaceable.
Good news.
When the floor floods with output, attention moves to outcomes.
Who helped me change. Who showed up after the post.
Quantity isn’t the enemy.
It’s the training ground.
Let AI flood the reps. We raise the standard for what those reps lead to.

It takes 10 minutes. Proof beats fear.
Not anti-tech. Pro-receipts.
I want the tools.
I want to work on projects I care about.
Use the machine for drafts, ideas, and polish.
Keep the human for connection, promises, and follow-through.
Culture Now
An AI artist just made headlines for a multi-million dollar deal.
Some say the bid hit around $3M.
The timeline split fast: hype or history?
A few folks think it’s a marketing push to normalize AI music because it’s cheap to copy.
Here’s my read: duplication is easy.
Devotion is rare.
If the machine can clone the sound, your edge is the story, the name, the follow-up.
What AI does next
It will spin up thousands of “fast fashion” brands.
Perfect faces. Empty memory.
They’ll trend. Then vanish.
The rare thing will be a real creative mind.
One that can care on cue.
One that changes because someone wrote in.
What human brands do
Say people’s names.
Call back to last week.
If a reader speaks up, make the change and tell them you did.
Connection needs memory.
Memory needs skin in the game.
That’s our edge.
Quantity done right
Post more, yes.
But post in a way that lets people answer.
A comment you reply to is worth more than a thousand quiet views.
Create small loops.
Ask one clear question.
Follow up next week with what you learned.
My bet is simple.
AI will take volume to another level.
Humans will take meaning to another level.
We’ll build brands that feel like neighborhoods.
We’ll sell like guides, not machines.
We’ll collect proof that our work moved a person, not just a metric.

Start your loop. Then tell me what you dropped.
Today, publish one thing you can stand behind.
Name one person it’s for.
Ask them if it helped.
I’m excited for what we make with this tech.
Not in spite of it.
With it.
Today, publish one thing you can stand behind.
Name a person it’s for.
Ask them if it helped.
Culture check
I grew up on Lil Wayne’s Squad Up tapes.
Stacks of the same copies.
But the one I kept had scribbles on the case my boy’s DJ tag and a shout at the end.
AI is the duplication.
Culture is the remix.
It’s the ad-lib, the scratch, the name on the case.
Streetwear taught me the same thing.
Racks full of the look.
But the piece you keep for years was made for someone, not everyone.
Machines copy the style.
People carry the story.
Our job is to keep the names in it.
