Former content creators used to spend a tremendous amount of time on a single post, but with the advent of AI tools, the situation has drastically changed. We are now in an era where anyone can produce posts of decent quality in large quantities.

What has resulted from this? While high-quality content is being supplied to the market one after another, its value is rapidly diminishing. A significant disconnect has emerged here. The traditional system that evaluates content based on attention economy is diverging from the actual value of the content.

Content dissemination democratized by AI has certainly lowered the barriers, but at the same time, it is also shaking the very standards of value. The era of judging content quality solely by follower count and engagement may be coming to an end.

The democratization of AI has lowered the barriers, resulting in everyone being able to produce products, which in turn dilutes quality.

AI mass-produced content should have depreciated long ago; who still truly considers traffic as gold?

This is inflation, where content depreciation is like a crypto market crash.

This really hits the mark. The democratization of AI has turned content creation into a common commodity; anyone can produce it, and the value is consequently diluted.

In the era of mass production of AI, who can still tell who has talent?

AI democratized content publishing, but it also diluted its value. It's a bit ironic.

AI has democratized content creation, but as a result, it has diluted the value. I get this logic.

Honestly, this is the current dilemma... Quality depreciates too quickly. Content democratization is a double-edged sword; lower barriers mean fragmented traffic. No matter how sophisticated AI-generated content is, it still lacks that touch of authenticity.

AI is becoming more competitive, but it’s actually lowering the barrier to content creation, so anyone can produce a few lines that sound pretty good.
