AI can copy style, but it can’t copy soul. A hand-tailored suit, a wooden table, or even a carefully written article — you can feel the human behind it. That’s becoming the ultimate differentiator.

The economics of inefficiency part really hit me. We’re so obsessed with speed and scale that we forgot the value of time and care. Craftsmanship is literally buying someone’s focused attention.

This is one of the best takes I’ve read on the post-AI economy. When everything can be generated in seconds, the things that take months of human attention become the real luxury.
