humanpremium
/ˌhjuːmənˈpriːmiəm/nounUnverifiedThe rising value ascribed to human-made work as machine-generated content floods its category.
When synthesis is cheap, provenance becomes the scarce ingredient: the handmade object, the human-written note, the live performance all gain a surcharge of meaning. Humanpremium names that surcharge — and the temptation to counterfeit it.
Etym. — human + premium, on the pattern of organic-premium economics: scarcity created not by supply but by category flooding.
Rel. — synthstalgia
