Is Earning a Livelihood with AI Truly an Uphill Battle? (Embracing the Right Mindset in the Age of AI)
“In the end, what makes the difference is human texture and authenticity”
Hello! I’m Seojun, continuing a warm journey of life and creation.
This morning, I took a walk outside. The air was quite cool and refreshing, so my stomach felt light and I felt really great throughout the walk. Filled with this fresh energy, I’d like to share an honest story about my recent realizations regarding life and the AI era.
Have you ever heard people say, “Articles or designs made with AI these days lack a soul,” or “Because AI is overflowing, it’s getting harder for individuals to make money”?
I also used to worry about ‘mechanization’ or ‘lack of sincerity.’ However, I recently stumbled upon a very clear and interesting answer to this question.
1. AI Ultimately Resembles Its Owner’s Texture and Scent
Yesterday, while exploring posts from my Naver blog neighbors, I suddenly noticed an interesting phenomenon.
Seeing bold highlights like ‘**’ in the middle of text or sentences carrying a subtle AI-like tone, I caught myself thinking, “Ah, this post was written with the help of AI!”
Yet strangely, it didn’t feel mechanical or off-putting at all. On the contrary, I could clearly feel that neighbor’s unique warmth, intellect, and sincere scent right through the post.
As it turns out, AI is not just a simple automatic generator; it creates completely different outcomes depending on the user’s values, personality, and sensibilities.
You can cut a tree with an axe, but using a chainsaw cuts it much faster and cleaner. Someday, a machine that cuts down multiple trees at once will surely emerge.
Isn’t AI just like that? While jobs that do not require warm human touch might be replaced, in domains where human emotion and sincerity are essential, AI becomes a reliable friend and tool that dramatically saves our time and effort.

2. What Matters More Than Surface Glamour Is ‘True Skill and Sincerity’
Recently, while preparing for a new venture, ‘ShinbiBus’, I had many opportunities to look through the outsourcing market and various portfolios.
I saw work from people with fancy titles like Hongik University Fine Arts graduates or Kmong Award winners. Yet, a thought suddenly crossed my mind: no matter how glamorous a title is, what truly moves the heart is the essence of ‘how meaningful, beautiful, and neatly presented it is.’
Even in an era where anyone can hold a powerful tool like AI, the user’s unique sensibility, planning ability, and sincerity can never be duplicated.
“Anyone can use AI, but not everyone can use AI with their own unique texture.”
In the end, how honestly you convey your innate sensibility and values is what shines brighter than ever in the AI era.
3. Resilience, Regaining a Positive Aura
To be honest, there were many tough moments recently, and I went through a period where my confidence dropped and I felt exhausted. At times, I wanted to hide inside myself.
However, thanks to the bright energy of those around me during that time, I gained strength and started taking care of myself again.
- Clean Diet: Eating plenty of protein, practicing low-sodium and potassium-focused meals
- Body Changes: Shedding excess water weight, dropping down to 82kg, flat stomach, and pleasant muscle definition
- Joy of Workout: Increasing barbell reps again despite losing water weight, feeling stamina gradually recover
As my body lightens up and absorbs healthy nutrition, I feel my ‘positive aura’ and resilience coming back to life inside me. A healthy routine that anchors oneself becomes a great power to stand tall again.
Toward a Life Full of Daily Anticipation
I hope you don’t feel overly anxious or worried just because we’re in the AI era. Instead, keep artificial intelligence by your side as a reliable friend and use it as a tool to heal pain and move forward into a wider world.
I am eagerly looking forward to future technologies like AI robots and autonomous taxis. With a heart full of daily anticipation, I want to live a precious life without losing my inner authenticity.
I genuinely hope today is a wonderful day for you to share your own warm scent with the world.
Thank you for reading this long post! 🙂
