• Core observation: AI-generated content has converged toward “competent and clean and completely forgettable” — execution quality has stopped being a differentiator now that it’s cheap and uniform across the board.
• Argues that as generation cost approaches zero, the scarce and valuable input shifts from execution skill to taste, perspective, and judgment about what’s worth making in the first place.
• Practical takeaway: don’t compete on output polish once AI commoditises it — the differentiating move is developing and asserting a distinctive point of view on what gets created, not how cleanly it’s produced.
