We Are Not Losing Our Voice to AI

People are scared that AI is making the internet flat and boring. They worry it's creating a sea of text that is grammatically correct but has no soul. Every blog post and email is starting to feel like it was written by the same bland robot.

But I think the opposite is going to happen. The sudden rise of generic AI writing won't kill unique human voices; it will actually make them come back stronger. When everything else looks the same, being human stands out. The strange, robotic feel of AI text will force us to be more like ourselves.

We are entering a world where:

• Basic writing is everywhere. AI will handle the standard stuff—the summaries, the basic emails, and the functional text. This is the 80% of writing that was already starting to sound the same anyway.
• Being real is valuable. The signs of human writing—like weird word choices, personal stories, and flawed but passionate arguments—will be exactly what we look for.
• Personality is the filter. Instead of trying to spot AI, we will simply look for authentic, interesting humans.

We were scared that AI would steal our voices. But the reality might be that AI is just taking over the boring parts. It is handing us a megaphone and daring us to finally say something interesting.
