I interviewed Sundar Pichai, and he made an interesting prediction for where we'll be in 3 years: "Any content can go from any modality to any modality. It doesn't matter how the content was originally created -- people can consume it in many different forms." "I'm very confident three years from now you will look back at what we have today and realize it was pretty primitive. It's like looking at a flip phone." For example, YouTube clips become blogs, newsletters become podcasts without recording. In this world, consumers would choose the format, and creators just supply the ideas, brand, and personality. Net-net, I think this is a good thing for content. It kills the "more content" strategy because when anyone can produce everything, volume stops being an advantage. So, the creators who win will focus on quality. People confuse slop with AI, but they're not the same thing. Plenty of creators already use AI in their workflows and get zero hate -- people just don't realize it. Also, YouTube's new policies target slop, not AI. If the content is good, people don't care how it was made. Your browser does not support the video tag. 🔗 View on Twitter 💬 6 🔄 5 ❤️ 30 👀 7192 📊 12 ⚡
