When Perfection Becomes Abundant, Authenticity Matters

6 August 2026

Every once in a while, you come across a piece that makes you stop and rethink where we’re heading.

This article by Jaspreet Bindra did exactly that for me.

For the past few years, we’ve been asking: Can AI write? Can AI code? Can AI create?

Increasingly, the answer is yes.

But Jaspreet asks a far more interesting question:

When perfection becomes abundant, what becomes valuable?

His answer isn’t better prompting or better models. It’s being more human.

The article beautifully weaves together stories from chess, football, Picasso, M.F. Husain, Persian carpets, kintsugi, and even the humble potter’s bowl to make one simple point:

In the AI era, authenticity may become our biggest competitive advantage.

Highly recommended reading.
