Content Creation Is Silently Dying. Here's What Replaced It.
Most creators are still completely clueless about what's happening
I see two types of creators:
Those who use AI to flood the internet with garbage. And those who spit on AI.
The ones who're the most extreme aren't just the "creators". But those who call themselves "writers," – and 85% of them are just journaling in public and looking for a paycheck.
I don't say writing is bad. In fact, I love writing.
But thinking that writing alone will make you survive the AI apocalypse is foolish.
Let's prepare now.
AI already writes better than you (Sorry.)
Most people have no clue how to prompt AI correctly.
But if you actually understand how to prompt it right, give it the right context, it can write as good - maybe even better - than 95% of beginner writers.
You could be upset about this. Or you could accept it.
I chose to accept it.
The truth is, content creation isn't dying. What's dying is the old way of doing it. The manual, grind-it-out, write-every-single-word-yourself approach.
What's replacing it is something way more valuable: content orchestration.
Content writers are the new underpaid factory workers
Who walks away with the biggest paycheck:
The factory workers or the factory managers?
The musicians or the conductor?
The actors or the director?
It's always the orchestrator. The person who sees the big picture and brings all the pieces together.
Content creation is no different.
The content orchestrators who make good money don't necessarily write every word themselves. What they do for sure is manage the whole content ecosystem:
They understand their audience's pain points
They craft the overall strategy
They direct AI tools to create first drafts
They edit and inject personality
They connect content to offers
They optimize for conversions
It's like conducting a symphony. The conductor doesn't play every instrument. But without them, you'd have chaos instead of music.
Orchestration > Creation.
Stop swimming with the sharks
Here's what AI nails:
First drafts
Market research
Reformatting content
Grammar and basic editing
But AI sucks at the stuff that actually matters:
Having a unique point of view and new ideas
Sharing personal stories and experiences
Connecting with your specific audience
Injecting real personality
You want to be damn good at the things AI is bad at.
That's blue ocean strategy 101.
Let's finish here
The content creators who survive won't be the ones who fight AI.
They'll be the ones who learn to dance with it.
Your job isn't to write every word. Your job is to:
Have unique ideas worth sharing
Understand your audience
Connect content to results
The future belongs to the orchestrators. The people who can see the big picture and bring all the pieces together.
The shift is happening whether you like it or not. You can either lead it or get crushed by it.
I know which side I'm on.
AI is an absolute game changer for building and scaling a one-person online business. Those that fight against it are wasting their time.
It’s not going anywhere and it’s getting better everyday.
I absolutely love the way you explanained! A.I. it's a tool and a very good one. Imagine 100 years ago farmers having a debate about plowing and harvesting machines X hand tools.
Some picking on those who decided to use the machines...
"Be good at the things A.I sucks".
