AI is eating the world. Most content online is AI-generated. And most human-generated content is helped by AI.
While AI has its uses, it's nice to hear from actual people once in a while.
Dave Winer, one of the original bloggers, and the guy who co-invented podcasting along with Adam Curry in 2003, defined a blog like this:
"A blog is the unedited voice of a person."
He explained: "The lack of editing is central, because it's one person who's responsible for every word."
So while the machines are churning out words on an unprecedented scale, representing the hive-mind groupthink of the posted content hoovered up as training data, it's more valuable than ever to hear the "unedited voice of a person" once in a while.
That's why you should love blogs more than ever.
