> What used to look professional now looks generic. What used to look weird now looks human.

> The signal you want to send isn’t “I spent effort on this,” because that signal is now cheap to fake. The signal you want to send is “a human actually wrote/made this.” That one currently costs almost nothing to send, because so few people are sending it.

or, in other words ... "when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro" -- From Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1971) by Hunter S. Thompson

Haha tricky one. Presumably AI will get better at mimicking humaness - including being weird when called for. Then we'll have to exhibit increasingly strange and divergent qualities in order to signpost our biological origin?
