I was going to proclaim that blogging is dead. The traffic on the R3ciprocity Project blog has steadily declined since the rise of artificial intelligence. People get answers faster now, and it’s changed how we interact with content. But I keep thinking—what is the value added of humans over algorithms?

Computers are fast and accurate. But humans? We’re good at finding and fixing exceptions. We have a sense of what resonates. And we struggle. That struggle adds depth. Even if AI can process emotion or aesthetics someday, the pace of human experience is different.

The blog might be dying, but the combination of my voice, my struggle, and the tools I use still tells a story that’s worth sharing. That human story—amplified by algorithms—isn’t dead. It’s just changing.
