Has AI Given Us the Same Spicy Take?
What happens to platforms, audiences, and trust when the input gets bypassed entirely?
I got on a LinkedIn Live last week with Patrice Poltzer — she’s the founder of My Story Pro and a former Today Show producer — and we were supposed to talk about AI and storytelling and executive content. We did, sort of. But we also ended up somewhere I wasn’t expecting, which is this whole thing about how AI isn’t making content worse exactly. It’s making everyone’s content converge into the same voice. Oh, and we talked about the Manosphere and how morbid we are (life’s a ticking clock, friends).
Patrice nailed it. She said good storytellers are becoming vanilla because they’re over-relying on AI, and bad storytellers are rising up a little because the tools are helping them, and everyone is just averaging to the statistical center. That phrase stuck with me. The statistical center. Because that is exactly what I’m watching happen in the market right now and nobody’s naming it.
