Storytelling

Stories are Special

Storytelling is a gift

It's what separates man from beast

The ability to explain a lesson through a story is not only special

Yet also sacred

Words aren't the only way to express our stories

Stories have been created through cave drawings

They hardly spoke language like we do today

Yet could still tell a fantastic story to either inspire

Or send a shiver down a child's spine from drawing simple stick figures on a wall of a cavern

It's really incredible to think about

Sure AI can tell their own tales

And honestly they're pretty good

But they're not stories handed down from one generation to the next

AI stories aren't grandma's stories

They're generated randomly

While grandma's stories she experience for herself

Shaking you to the core of your soul

I probably sound like a crazy prophet

But it's true

Stories are real

Genuine

Honest

No matter what technology comes out next

For better or worst

Whatever view point you may have

We can all agree

Stories are special

Cause stories are what makes us human

    Technology follows the algorithm of past experiences, humans LIVE through those experiences. It can never measure up! Beautiful!

  • Fantastic words! I completely agree 💯 storytelling is a unique feature that makes us human! Love this line: But they're not stories handed down from one generation to the next
