I've been having fun creating non-branded, non-niche and non-marketing content on this channel. This is an experiment in progress, but I do have a hunch that this is the way forward.


Today, I talk about my idea about building an intentional audience and about what it means to be an intentional content creator. We live in an era of increasingly competent AI generated content. Soon, it will be possible for anyone to create virtually unlimited, generic, AI content in any medium. What does this mean for the future of content creators. And maybe more importantly: what does it mean for the future of content consumption?


Let's dive into some bold predictions about people getting zombified by algorithmic content and a potential golden age for authentic, human content.
