I want my creativity back.
Hello World.
As with all beginnings, this blogpost will not be perfect. However, it is a start. And I am proud of it.
Hi there 👋🏼 I'm Iusef Hafith-Russo.
I am originally Italian, Jordanian/Palestinian. I remember when I was about 10 years old, my older brother encouraged me to write a "story" on Microsoft Word (back on windows 98, the good old days).
Even though no one ever read that story, including myself and my brother.
I still remember how it felt. Amazing! I remember feeling that I had created the biggest writing masterpiece in human history.
Ever since, I have loved expressing myself through different means.
Writing, creating content, and sharing ideas.
However, with the latest advancements in AI. I felt that I was losing my creativity, my writing skills, and part of my identity.
This is why; I am creating this blog.
Here, I promise you that:
- You will get my honest opinion on whatever topic I choose to write about.
- It will be 100% written by humans. (AI might only be used to correct my spelling or grammar, or to add any nice visuals)
- I will try my best and keep this digital journal as long as I can.
I decided to start with initiative on Bear, because I believe in their mission, and I love how simple and minimalistic this platform is.
And most importantly, I wanted the main focus to be on the writing.
The reality is that I am about to turn 30...
And maybe I am just becoming a boomer.
Regardless, I am happy to fight back the AI-Written Soulless Text.
And I just want my creativity back.
As this is my first blog post, I would appreciate any feedback. Please feel free to write me at Hi@iusef.me
Peace be upon you all 👋🏼
