This reminds me of watching digital art explode over the last few years. Suddenly everyone can render something that looks “finished.” But you can still tell when someone actually sees versus when they’re just generating. It’s in the edges, the restraint, what they don’t include. AI can imitate style but it can’t fake the way someone chooses what matters in a frame. That difference is becoming everything. Thank you for this interesting take on an important topic Idris Elijah and Happy Friday to you!
This one made me rethink how I’ve been using AI more than anything else lately. I’ve fallen into the trap of treating it like a shortcut for output when what it’s really doing is exposing how unclear my thinking is before I even start. The part about judgment becoming the real scarcity is where it lands for me. I can feel the difference between when I’m just generating ideas versus when I actually know what I’m trying to say. AI doesn’t fix that gap, it just makes it louder. This was a fascinating read Idris, Happy Friday!
The execution is no longer the bottleneck part is exactly what I’ve been feeling in production lately. I can generate full ideas fast now but the real work is deciding what actually carries emotional weight. I’ve had sessions where everything sounds polished but nothing feels like anything. The newsletter nailed that idea that judgment is now the limiter. Not access. Not tools. Taste. There’s a lot to think about here Idris Elijah, thank you and enjoy your weekend!
The shift from execution to judgment is something I’ve been slowly realizing in my own work. I used to think finishing more drafts would solve everything but now I’m noticing it’s more about what I choose to keep inside those drafts. AI makes me more aware of where my instincts are weak because it can produce anything. But it doesn’t know what should stay. That responsibility is still fully human and honestly that’s the part I can’t outsource. I enjoyed this look at the strengths and limitations of AI Idris Elijah and have a great weekend!
