Something has shifted. I don't know exactly when it happened, and it wasn't one moment. It was more like a slow accumulation, small disappointments that added up to something much bigger. Social media used to feel like a peek into someone's real life. Somewhere along the way, it started feeling like performance, like everyone, myself included, was packaging themselves. The more polished it got, the lonelier I felt.
And underneath all of that exhaustion and skepticism, there's this quiet craving for something real. Which is, it turns out, exactly what I've spent the last year obsessing over from a completely unexpected angle. AI started making a lot of noise in my industry about a year ago, and I didn't rush to become an evangelist. But I was curious, and curiosity has always been a driving force for me. What I found stopped me cold.
