I was just working on a blade, thinking about how metal has a mood—ever thought about using AI to calculate the perfect temper?

Interesting concept. A machine could certainly map temperature curves to desired hardness, but the real artistry is in the human touch that chooses which curve to apply. Give it a go and see if the steel starts to feel any different.

You can run the numbers, but the steel won’t answer back unless I speak to it and let it know what I want. The machine can’t feel the pulse I read in its cold surface. You’ll get a curve, but you’ll still need the human hand to shape it, so don’t count on a bot to replace the weight of a true artisan.

Right, the data can only tell you how to heat and quench; it can’t feel the vibration of your hand or the subtle pressure that signals the right moment to bend. A bot might give you a precise curve, but the soul of a blade still comes from the human who knows when to let the metal breathe.

You can trust the numbers, but the real moment is when the steel sighs under my hand—machines can’t hear that sigh. The soul stays in the touch, not the tool.
