WHAT HAPPENED
During a recent rock‑climbing outing, a climber told the author that he had used artificial intelligence to create a motivational poster for himself. The AI‑generated image—a bear walking a slackline over a canyon while holding a sign that reads “Do cool shit”—was displayed on the climber’s bedroom wall.
The climber expected a reaction when he showed the poster to the author, hoping for comments that it was cool or inspiring. He said, “You know, it’s funny,” and added, “No one ever says anything about it.” The author describes making a polite noise in response, reflecting uncertainty about how to react. He has been contemplating the exchange for several days, noting the awkwardness of the situation.
The anecdote illustrates how people are experimenting with AI to produce personalized motivational content, and how social expectations around sharing and receiving feedback can feel uncomfortable in informal settings.
