David Perell shares Matt Ridley's optimistic take on AI:
- AI cannot replicate human creativity as it only knows what has existed.
- Humans will realize we don't work like AI and will become more human.
- True creativity and "beautiful mistakes" will become more valuable.
- Future tastes will favor weirder, messier human things.
