Yes, I agree, my personal tagline I play around with is: "the future is human"
It's supposed to be witty marketing. There's always value in zagging when people zig. Tons of energy and interest in AI and automation, I think it's reasonable to see a counter-balance of value in deliberately human, small-scale, ephemeral experiences/actions/art.
During the metaverse craze my tagline was "the Metaverse is 2D". It's pointing out that for all the effort to cross the uncanny valley, people continue to love retro 2D games, animal crossing, and I personally love the artistic style of "Paper Mario" where 2D characters navigate a 3D world.
Anyway, all to say, I'm with you that there's something really brewing in an "answer" to TikTok, Meta, Metaverse, AI, etc, etc not even that theres' something "wrong" with these pursuits, rather it's just really exhausting, and low-fidelity experiences that lean on old world humanness is a break that feels good, increasingly.
