Thoughts on Ai…

…to be a human is to be vulnerable, flawed, perfectly imperfect. To be an artist is to share this perfect mess with the world. A task which is becoming increasingly difficult in a plastic world driven by advertisements & algorithms. You will never find anything genuine, real, or human in Ai – just a soulless copy of our world, a cheap imitation stolen from humans and passed off as real. My advice? Slow down, breathe, & stop making billionaires even richer. Buy a pen & a notebook or some finger-paint, plunk a tune out on a banjo, try to write the next great novel – on your grandpa’s typewriter. Fail, but have fun. Laugh as you live in the fog of analog, & then you shall know what it truly means to be human. In other words: nothing I create is assisted by Ai.

Thoughts on Social Media…

There is nothing “social” about social media, only noise & distractions. Tune out, so you can tune in. Let go of the illusion of this modern age & fall awake to the quiet strength inside. I believe in Ice Cream Socials, not social media. During the summer of 2026 I deleted my: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X/Twitter, Linkedin, & never looked back. The world smells sweeter, jazz goes hotter, days are longer, life is gooooood.

Cheers,
Jack
