AI distortion.

You know what’s wild? A couple of my friends recently called me out lovingly, but directly. They noticed I’ve been wavering on something I’ve always believed deep down: that authenticity will win. That real human expression, connection, andcreativity matter.

And they were right. I have been wavering.

Because the noise is loud right now. The money. The hype. The clicks. The attention. The AI wave isn’t just distorting the truth—it’s distorting gravity. Like it’s pulling everything toward it, warping our vision. And I’d be lying if I said I haven’t felt the tug.

And here’s the thing that really gets me: if it’s strong enough to pull me, it will pull a lot more people. People who are just trying to do the work, stay grounded, and make something honest.

I don’t have a conclusion to this. I just know I need to say it out loud.
