Will the explainer post go extinct?
11 hours ago
- Will short-form non-fiction internet writing go extinct?
- AI can replicate explanations with customized styles and answer questions indefinitely, threatening human-written explainers.
- Human-written explainers currently offer advantages like accuracy, style, parasocial relationships, trust, and social value.
- AI accuracy is key: if AI matches human accuracy, explainer posts may become obsolete.
- Potential counterarguments include AI improving content discovery, new reward systems, and human-AI collaboration.
