Recently, I was playing around with one of the major artificial intelligence (AI) platforms.

I will not say which one, but all of those mostly have the same capabilities.

In a few seconds, it managed to do so.

Admittedly, I was impressed.

Sadly though, it also dawned on me that AI will definitely put some people out of business.

Logo design might cost a few dollars to several million depending on who designs it.

Davidson knew Phil Knight, the Portland State University assistant professor who would eventually start Nike.

Davidson agreed to a rate of $2 an hour.

During later years, when her contribution was finally recognized, she was also given some Nike stock.

It then becomes easy to think, Why dont I just dump the human designer idea and use AI?

However, I also remember my younger years when I was trying to launch my own business.

Maybe I would not be where I am today.

But trying to replace all human work with AI will most likely backfire for us in the future.

Not just us but society as a whole.

Everyone needs a break.

Someone probably gave you a break years ago because you were an unknown quantity.

Return that favor to another human.

Buy lemonade from a kid with a stand.

Pay someone to draw that logo.

Hire a singer for your next party.

Be happy that you might pay others to practice their craft.

They all started as unknowns but eventually gave us art that raised our appreciation for life.

Even if AI might save you some money, pay that human artist anyway.

Doing that can give you a mental and spiritual return that AI cannot.
