I think that the current discussion around human originality being content that is created WITHOUT any AI is missing the point completely. The reality is that economically valuable originality ALWAYS has been measured against the commonplace. linkedin.com/pulse/after-ai-…

After AI: Two Kinds of Originality That Will Actually Matter

We are entering a world where artificial intelligence can produce competent, plausible output in almost every domain — writing, code, design, analysis, strategy. For many purposes, “good enough” is...

370,000 Student Essays Can’t be wrong: GenAI has broken College Admissions

When we started Hupside, we kept getting the same question: why does measuring originality matter now? The New York Times answered it better than we ever could. Rebecca Winthrop (Brookings) wrote a...

Wonder why you are bothered by AI Slop? It's a symptom of why AI is being rejected. And why a new signal of where value is being added is necessary in a post AI world: Original Intelligence. linkedin.com/pulse/signal-co…

I want to do a quick experiment with you. I wrote this essay myself.
