A prevailing sentiment suggests that artificial intelligence, much like early computers, is on a trajectory to become so ubiquitous and seamlessly integrated into daily life that its novelty will diminish. As AI tools become standard and invisible, the focus is expected to shift from AI-generated output to the value of human-created goods and services.
This perspective posits that as AI capabilities become commonplace, the truly distinctive and desirable items will be those produced by human hands and minds. The ability to offer a product or service that is demonstrably human-made, rather than AI-assisted or generated, will increasingly be seen as a luxury and a mark of distinction, reflecting a future where human skill and attention become the ultimate differentiator in a saturated technological landscape.
