i just saw someone say “[thing] is like being condemned to watch a dog with an itchy ass wear the Himalayas away only by scooching” which is… an incredible turn of phrase #AIcouldNever

At any literary event I’ve been to, the author has been happy to sign books. Even old worn ones. The writers don’t just sign them mechanically, but chat with each reader. Often, they personalise the inscription. The queue never gets restless. People happily chat about books as they wait their turn. I fangirl-gushed at Lucy Caldwell and instead of calling security, she chatted with me about our mutual love of short stories, then wrote this generous inscription.

The staff at our local independent bookshop make a display with tiny hand-crafted editions of each book that has been included in their monthly Bookpack subscription.
They hand-pack each month’s books in a box with handmade labels and staff-drawn decorations. Your name is handwritten on it in nice gold lettering.
Inside, there’s always some little extra that makes you smile, like this month's scroll – a home-made treasure map of their bookshelves.

More later, but after the coffee break, attendees were bustled back into the room by a venue worker ringing a hand-held bell. AI COULD NEVER.

The 7.7m-long Gislingebåden from 1100 CE was ‘both the last Viking ship and the first medieval ship’.
A replica is being built at Aarhus harbour by a group of young people using the traditional Nordic clinker boat-building techniques that UNESCO recognises as being part of the 'Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’.

@clickhere Yes, this resonates. These are the things I'm noticing too these days.

@CiaraNi Thanks. And yeah, I find myself thinking about things like that increasingly - what are the things that only people can do? What are the in-person experiences we can share? What jobs are safe from AI harm?

@clickhere I like your hashtag. I think 'AI Could Never' often these days. Every time I spot a nice sign of A Human Did This in the everyday. Like a hand-made crocheted bookmark. Or a funny comment with a spelling mistake someone stuck on a Post-it. Or a blurry photo of the arse of a hedgehog someone didn't quite manage to capture in their garden. Or these teeny tiny books at the local bookshop.

@CiaraNi This is so fabulous! And now I just want to hear more wholesome examples of what AI Could Never.
