### Can you tell the difference — and do you give a fuck?

## I. The Great Blur
Let’s be honest: you probably scrolled past **ten AI-generated faces** today and didn’t blink. Your feed is a hall of mirrors. Your aesthetic, machine-curated. Your attention — weaponized.
> “It looks good though.”
Says the algorithm’s pet.

## II. The Death of Process
*Artisan* used to mean: calloused hands, slow obsession, knowing when to stop.
**Now?**
It means being fast enough to imitate your own extinction.
```bash
curl -X POST https://designapi.run \
-d "prompt=A brooding cyberpunk icon in silver, face half-melted"
```
The artist didn’t die.
They were retrained.

## III. What’s Real?
- The **face** you see above? AI.
- The **quote**? Human.
- The **emotion** it stirs? Yours.
What does that make this?

## IV. Resistance, Rendered
We won’t tell you to ditch the tools. We built this article with them.
But **know what you’re trading**.
The moment you **stop caring**, they win.
The moment you **choose speed over soul**, they don’t need us anymore.
