Or…art and literature enter a new two-tiered era with artistic and literary works made by humans, with other humans as witnesses to some or all of the process, becoming extreme-premium-items alongside AI-generated works, which are likely to become the fare of mainstream society, if the current wave continues unabated.

Find a non-technical hobby and go so fully into that (visibly) that you become a magnet for others just getting into the hobby.

Forgot about 10 goto 10 eh?
