I explain why I’m stepping away from written blog posts and shifting to weekly unscripted video, and what that says about the future of content in the AI era.
As generative tools flood the internet with competent but weightless writing, I’m betting that people will increasingly seek out what can’t be faked: human presence, unpolished insight, and the texture of real-time thinking.
This isn’t just a content decision. It’s about walking my own talk in a world where attention is earned through trust, not volume (that's my bet, anyway).
If you’re interested in the thinking that shaped this shift, I recommend these three brilliant pieces:
“Why We Need a Theory of AI-Systems” by Chadwick & Davidovic: https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.03723
“The Web Will Be Flooded with AI Content” by Mark Schaefer: https://businessesgrow.com/2023/08/03/ai-generated-content/
“A Case for Purely Live Performances” by Sanjoy Roy: https://springbackmagazine.com/read/viewpoint-a-case-for-purely-live-performances/
