AI's weakness lies in technology that predates the web—trust and individual authenticity

CFOs expect AI-driven job cuts to be 9x higher this year, with 44% of all CFOs saying they're planning layoffs.

Email—an open format predating the web by almost two decades—remains the most trustworthy communication channel because it reveals AI as a 'compromise engine' producing 'safe, bland mush' that readers reject, while individuals and their names drive engagement and trust.

The paradox: the content AI produces most efficiently is also the content requiring the most human-to-human trust to be effective, making this AI's greatest weakness and individuals' greatest strength in the market.
