📰 To Read... 🔖 Title: Somssi and the Revival of Craftsmanship in the Age of AI Imagery 🗓️ Published: 2026-07-22 📄 Summary: Somssi, a new Manhattan restaurant named after the Korean term for refined craftsmanship, embodies a hands-on approach that stands in stark contrast to the rising tide of AI-generated imagery dominating social media. From custom lace logos to vintage curtains made from decades-old fabrics, every detail reflects a slower, more analog process celebrating human touch. This revival of “frictionmaxxing” — the choice to embrace handmade, imperfect creativity over digital convenience — resonates widely in the restaurant world, as seen in other establishments like Superiority Burger and Dean’s, where handwritten menus and handcrafted visuals foster a genuine connection with patrons wary of the sterile, often flawed aesthetics of AI art. Somssi’s commitment is a heartfelt reminder of the value found in tradition, authenticity, and the beauty of real human effort in today’s digital overload. 🔗
