Slop is slop

Instead of worrying about whether AI will take your job…

Invest your time in things that don’t change.

An “AI artist” with no hands-on skill as an artist, who hasn’t learned how to lay their own lines, define their own volumes, render their own renders?

An “AI writer” with no hands-on skill as a writer, who hasn’t learned how to pace a story, build and release tension, and lead somewhere worth going?

An “AI developer” with no hands-on skill as a developer, who hasn’t learned how to spot trouble ahead, maintain codebases, or fix six-year-old code?

Their struggles remain, because not only are they outsourcing the task, but also the taste and direction that determines great work.

So whether you’re on “team craft” or “team AI”, invest in the craft anyway.

Without taste, you won’t know when your slop is slop.
