Hey, are you ready to pay $19.99/month?
Today AI and AI driven content is no news to the world, since the launch of ChatGPT AI has became like a body part to people around the world. In some part helping us to research, solve problems, create presentations, spreadsheets, tools and in others acting as therapist, a friends, a writer, business partner and the use cases goes on. With the rapid adaptation and growing potential of AI it is increasingly difficult for humans to tell difference between AI and non AI content. Slowly AI is becoming new normal, also who has time to really verify the information they see online.

Speaking specifically about content product I feel there is an absurdly abundant possibilities right from the seed of the idea to getting finished product. Even I am trying to create movies using AI, who I am kidding. right? But this also scares me that AI is making content production abundant, and that abundance could make distinctly human creativity scarce and therefore more valuable. And this is where it gets interesting. I have no problem human content being more valuable, but “Valuable” directly relates to the “money making” opportunities. F*ck. Capitalists.
Human-made work carries something increasingly scarce: perspective, lived experience, imperfections, emotion, cultural intuition, and intent. Almost like the evolution from: handmade to industrial, film to digital, vinyl to streaming. AI will likely dominate the utility layer of content creation. But distinctly human creativity may become the premium layer.
Let’s consider example of social media platforms, rapidly growing creator economy slowing eating human attention and thinking capabilities. Not here to play the victim card as I am also part of the show. Soon a phase will come where utilizing AI to produce content would be as simple as calling someone and at, that time AI would have grown so much in capabilities that it would be really hard to make out difference between what’s genuinely human and what’s AI. Then the platform will soon introduce something called “Human+” charging a shining 19.99$ per month for Exclusive access to content created by actual humans.. Again. F*ck. Capitalists.
What can be done to stop this? or should we ask, Can anything be done to stop this? And perhaps that’s the real shift happening in front of us: AI is not replacing creativity. It is redefining what we value within it. Curious to know how this transition unfolds.
