The internet got flooded with AI content.

Everything started sounding the same.

Same hooks.
Same cadence.
Same “we’re not doing X — we’re doing Y.”

Jameson Zaballos thinks that’s exactly why human taste matters more now.

Napa is the team behind those viral startup memes you’ve probably already seen.

But underneath the memes is a bigger thesis:
The future of founder marketing belongs to people who still sound human.

Not polished.
Not optimized.

Human.

AI can generate infinite content.
But it still averages the internet.

The founders winning attention right now are the ones adding taste back into the loop.
Write like you talk.

Post when nobody else posts.

Make your ICP feel seen.
