Why Not Just Use A.I?

I get asked a lot if I’m worried about AI. The short answer is yes, and I’m sure a lot of other creatives and small business owners feel the same. 

The truth is, however, whilst there’s no doubt it’s amazing and it’s fun and it can do all sorts of really helpful things for us in our daily lives, it simply cannot replace the feeling you get when you share your ideas, thoughts and innermost feelings with another human being. Human interaction, connection, and the reward you get from bouncing ideas off someone else, and making a thing better because there’s spark between two heads and two hearts - it’s beautiful.
I think it's part of what makes us human.

There’s something so cold, glassy and over-smooth about a poem written by AI, you can just tell - it's impersonality hides itself well until, it all of a sudden it doesn't. Then it pretty much shouts itself across the room. 

A.I. simply isn’t going to read a person’s feelings, look in their eye, hold their hand (even if if not literally) and ask the questions that they didn’t know needed asking. Only a real human can relate to another, can see the gaps in what a person commissioning a poem hasn’t said or even hasn't seen for themselves, and even read their pain or joy.

And when it comes to expressing a deep love for someone incredibly precious to us; maybe thanking your spouse for fifty years of marriage, or appreciating that friend who's been there through it all, or perhaps when it comes to standing up and saying goodbye to a person you’ve loved for almost all of your life,
I’m sorry, but only a human being will do.

Your loved ones are not generic.
They are unique and they deserve the best …
and so do you.
