Here's how I'd break this down:
Every major shift in content creation has had doomsayers predicting the death of human creators:
- Photography would kill painting (it didn't)
- Video would kill radio (it didn't)
- Digital music would kill musicians (it didn't)
- Social media would kill traditional media (it adapted)
What actually happens: The tools get democratized, the bar raises, and the winners are those who understand this truth...
People don't follow content. They follow PEOPLE.
AI can generate a perfect video. But it can't generate:
- Your unique perspective
- Your lived experience
- Your personality
- Your community connection
- Trust built over time
The real question isn't "Will AI replace creators?"
It's "Which creators will use AI to 10x their output while maintaining their authentic voice?"
The creators who'll struggle are the ones making generic, templated content that's already soulless. AI will just expose that they were never adding real value.
The creators who'll thrive are the ones who:
1. Use AI as a production assistant - Let it handle editing, thumbnails, scripts drafts
2. Double down on authenticity - Their stories, their takes, their community
3. Focus on connection over perfection - People want real, not polished
4. Leverage AI to test and iterate faster - More experiments = more winners
Bottom line: AI doesn't kill creators. It kills lazy content. And that's a good thing for everyone building real businesses.
The opportunity isn't scary. It's massive.

Shōta memorized the third and fourth lines of Go Cubs Go in English and picked 18 because he wants to be the second Cubs World Series MVP after Ben Zobrist? That's not enough to make me like him.
It's more than enough.

I was born and raised on the Cubs. They were my escape as a kid.
The idea that in 2023, living in Chicago and I can't easily flip on the TV/Computer/InternetThingy (without paying for another $16/mo) and see the @Cubs is soul crushing.
TUCK YOU FOM!

Not being able to see the Cubs on YouTube TV is taking its toll on my fandom...and I live in Chicago to boot.
Meanwhile, a friend in NOLA shares "looks cold at Wrigley today".
Suck it Ricketts!
