The printing press, the internet, all of these things require huge technological shifts that are required for you and I to be doing what we're doing now.

And I think AI is probably bigger than all of those combined.

And so it's hard to know what's going to happen.

I think that on the good side, we've democratized so many things.

If you want a really great book editor, someone who's going to critique all of your work or your essays, AI is just sitting right there for 20 bucks a month.

And you can go, hey, what are all the logical flaws in my argument here?

And it'll be like, oh, let me tell you.

And it'll be like, you made a leap here.

This is a personal anecdote that you extrapolated all this stuff.

You just have to pay thousands of dollars for someone to do that.

There's all kinds of busy work.

that you don't have to do anymore.

Similar to how Figma and Photoshop made design so much faster.

Well, now you're getting a much bigger leap in AI.

It just happens to hit every single industry.

The other side of it is it's easier to generate nonsense than ever before.

And just noise.

And so what do you do to stand out as a creator in a world where we can just generate whole creators?

So I think you have to tell more personal stories and you have to connect with your audience.

You have to think before you write something or before you podcast it like, is this unique to me or could anyone share this anecdote?
