Resisting flatness

AI-generated art is everywhere. It’s accessible, immediate, and infinite.

But it’s inherently flat. Soulless.

It has its place, but its place is not everywhere.
It has its use, but its use is not for everything.
It has its value, but its value is not rare.

There are times — many times — when it’s worth insisting on humanness. On embracing methods that take time. On valuing provenance.

We can resist flattening. We can see the beauty in imperfection. We can delight in slow work.

And we might develop a new appreciation for ideas, images, and sounds whose generation doesn’t require signals, servers, or screens.
