Interesting take James - you've managed to explain this in a compelling way! I like what you're saying about doubling down on the "human" side, building out relationships and shifting from the focus from the manual to the strategic.
Appreciate that! Glad it resonated with you. I’ve found that shift from manual to strategic is where real leverage lives. We can’t out-AI AI… but we can out-human it.
I’d add: the most valuable “products” are the ones with soul, not just utility. That’s where AI can help amplify the human, not erase it. Love that framing, thank you for that response.
Really appreciated this—especially the reminder that resilience isn’t the goal, growth through disruption is. I just wrote about antifragility a few days ago in my latest piece, but through the lens of ethical AI systems. It’s been striking to see how often we design for perfection when we should be designing for recovery. Your framing around creative process and AI augmentation adds a human texture to the conversation. Grateful to be in parallel dialogue on this.
Really love the framing of “designing for recovery”. That’s exactly the shift more creators (and systems) need to make. Antifragility in writing, work, AI, any other systems, isn't about bracing for impact, but learning how to dance with it. Glad our pieces are resonating in parallel!

We're all now products not roles. Start automoting yourself and upgrading your value to counterparties 🧡

The concept of antifragility for creators is brilliant. I like how you tie it to personalized AI assistants.
Thank you!! :D
