Outsourcing Creating To One Of Our Creations

May 29, 2026

I was reading one of my favorite newsletters today called Oberthinking by Justin Oberman. The article was called “How I use AI To Think Better”. It caught my attention because I’ve been using AI a lot lately to help with the development of a certification program. One of the points he made had to do with using AI to write. Lately I’ve been trying to put into words how AI is affecting people and the way we think and create.

A Result

I realized after seeing the following quote in the article, what the actual result of using AI could be if we aren’t careful. When writing about any topic, and using AI to write for us about the topic, what we get is “the statistical average of everyone who has ever tried to express something like it.”

My take from that is this: While AI is making us more productive overall, and can get us past writer’s block in some cases, and can inspire ideas, the final outcome could be that AI is making us all average. Or maybe I should say mediocre. At least when it comes to content creation. Maybe that’s why so much content lately has become kind of blah. Maybe even boring. Definitely average. I realize that everything we create cannot be life changing, exciting content.

Is Average Good Enough?

But what if all the AI written material really is just average or mediocre? Is that what we want to provide for our customers, clients, and readers?

I am an avid AI user…to a point. What is it that AI can take away from us? About a year ago I wrote an article called “Are You A Dreamer?” It was about how we are taught as children that daydreaming is bad and were even punished for it. Here is a short section of the article:

“Our imaginations are where great things are born. Albert Einstein was a daydreamer. He called those daydreams “thought experiments.” Look what that did for him and for the world! Nikola Tesla would sit and think and visualize detailed designs for electric motors, remote control devices, and many more of his inventions. That was daydreaming. And yet we discourage it in children. What a loss that is.

Every great invention, every building design, every business idea that ever existed got its beginning as a fantasy. Someone was daydreaming. We have an opportunity to teach our children how to think but instead we teach them what to think.”

Now we are training ourselves to stop creating. What happens to our mind when we stop daydreaming and stop creating and let our AI systems do that for us? Use AI but not at the cost of your creativity. We were created to create. We are a creator race and we are outsourcing creating to one of our creations. Sounds confusing doesn’t it. But that’s where we are. There has to be some fun in life.

Creating is fun. Creating is uniquely human.

How does this relate to financial momentum?

Business usually comes down to using innovation to solve a problem. If we lose our creativity, innovation and problem solving go away. It’s like muscle memory. If we stop doing it, we forget how to do it. Business can only work that way for a limited amount of time.
