But how far is that actually good?\n\nI remember when I invested heavily in Nvidia in 2022. I knew what was coming, and I warned my friends. As ChatGPT was slowly and quietly entering the scene, I was not going to invest in the bakery; I was going to invest in the baker. That is how I ended up with Nvidia. And I must confess: as a veteran AI tester, I was impressed by ChatGPT.\n\nI remember that a few months after using it for the first time, I discovered what was then still a baby: the so-called Stable Diffusion. And I thought it was incredible. The first versions ran on Google Colab notebooks, and man, the system’s roughness produced some truly insane aberrations.\n\nThat night, I went to sleep thinking about what AI would become. About its importance. Until that moment, I had never seen it as a threat. I saw it as a way to accelerate projects, rediscover things, and optimize processes.\n\nThe problem began when the enthusiasts started replacing their brains with AI: the laziness of thinking, the lack of creativity, the vague prompts. That was enough to unleash a synthetic wave.\n\nIn the momentum of progress, everyone began leaving originality aside and replacing it with the strangest creations generated by AIs. And that was when I felt it for the first time. It was horrible. I was allowing AI to correct my texts recklessly, without considering my humanity, my mistakes, my existential authenticity. I was selling my soul.\n\nI decided to stop using it so frequently, afraid that I would become just another lazy person with an atrophied brain.\n\nBut then, one beautiful day, I was listening to a song on Spotify — metrically perfect — and I felt that urge to vomit again. The song was pure AI. It was synthetic. Fake emotions, fake feelings. That was when I fully understood the dead internet theory, the rise of absolutely synthetic content, and intellectual forgery.\n\nI felt sad because I felt manipulated.\n\nSo I began a silent battle in search of soul in everything. A search for originality led me to everything made by hand, one search leading to another. And I found wonderful things along the way: a kind of resistance formed by visionaries who knew this future would come.\n\nI found the creators of souls. Of real feelings. Of beauty.\n\nAnd considering that this will be the most precious good in a few years, for now, I am satisfied.",
