AI Will Replace You Unless...

The biggest mistake you can make with AI is using it for original ideas.

Let’s use content creation as an example.

AI is a masterful copilot and formatter.

• Ask it for hooks, metaphors, or to format your posts, and it will deliver every time.

• But ask it to come up with truly original ideas, and it falls short.

AI is trained on content that’s already out there—what’s public and popular.

That means it can only reflect what’s already in the public consciousness.

It’s hard to stand out if you’re just repeating what everyone else is saying.

The only way to create interesting content with AI is to inject your own novel insights into your prompts.

These insights come from your personal experience: something large language models can’t be trained on.

Don’t make the mistake of letting AI generate all your ideas.

If you avoid this, you won’t be easily replaced.
