Maybe AI Isn’t That Important

AI is everywhere. It’s automating tasks, generating content, and changing industries. It’s easy to feel like if you’re not using it, you’re falling behind.

But let’s zoom out.

AI won’t change what it means to be human. It won’t replace the feeling of a deep conversation, the warmth of a hug, or the trust built over years. It won’t make your morning coffee taste better, or turn a walk in the woods into something more profound. AI can write a love letter, but it won’t feel love. It can compose music, but it won’t dance to it.

The things that truly define life—joy, struggle, curiosity, relationships—aren’t about efficiency. They’re about presence. AI can optimize your schedule, but it won’t sit with your friend through a hard time. It can analyze data, but it won’t take a leap of faith.

Yes, AI is a tool, and a powerful one. But it’s not the thing. What matters most—kindness, courage, creativity, connection—is still up to us.

Maybe AI isn’t that important after all.

What will you do today that only a human can do?

I’ll just leave that there. What do you think? How important is it?
