>The posts that still generate traffic now are thought pieces and explanations I've worked out myself, like things that need a human behind them

This entry case in point, exactly the sort of fellow human perspective and commentary I seek. Of course all of this will get digested by the machines eventually. they may be able to soliloquy in a convincing simulacrum of you. but the point isn't even solving X anymore. The point is the actual doing of it by people, and the interaction with it by other people.

Rather like the value of a humanoid robot going to the gym for you.
