Don’t Get Replaced by an AI Influencer

There is a change ahead.

We will see a lot more AI influencers coming in the next few years.
In the past, they have been the faceless influencers.
All of them will be swept away by AI.

Since creating content has become a commodity, it is now about the human connection.

It becomes all about Human to Human.

Build a community around your ideas.
Find your people.

I’m doubling down on showing my face and being active with my name.
That is going to be the big driver.

We can tell stories and share experiences — that will make a big difference going forward.

This is where the idea of the pen-pal comes back in:
Write person to one person.

It’s not about sharing everything.
It’s more about actually making a connection.

There are two major things to avoid:

  1. The trap of fluff.
    A lot of people just post generic content.
    Just standard fluff is not going to make any connection.
  2. Oversharing and trying to use all raw emotions.
    This might get views, but they won’t be respectable viewers.

That’s the wrong authenticity.
It will make you more of a spectacle or just entertainment.

People won’t take you seriously — and you won’t become an expert.

There are maybe some exceptions to this,
but we don’t respect raw unfiltered emotions to make that difference.

  • It All Comes Back to Communication

    Greetings Reader, Over the weekend I had a few chats with a friend on the effects of AI. We will be in for a ride. Sure the opportunities are endless. It will get stronger and better, but it also feels like we’re losing more and more the human touch. I’m trying to figure out how to talk about business without touching the subject of AI. The development is just so much faster than I anticipated. I’ve been in this space now since the launch of GPT 3,5. And it’s been a wild ride. I can promise…

  • The Three Models That Help You Move Fast

    Greetings Reader, Last night I spoke with a lot of Founders at a local event. There is one pattern that kept coming up. I’m planning this. I’m waiting on this. I haven’t gotten the feedback yet. All those statements are holding your business back. They will lock and keep you stuck, because you gave the power to act away. Over the past years I’ve tried to study the greed and there are three models that help you move fast. Urgency is the mover. Urgency means to just close the gap between…

  • The Fight Between Persuasion and Manipulation

    Greetings Reader, Recently I did a deep dive into the world of communication. There are generally two different skillsets to communication. One is the personal communication. Your journal to your dinner table conversation. When we enter the arena of public communications we have a lot of traditions. We have the historic school of the Orator – aka. Speaker. Over the centuries we have seen a specialization. The speaker was trained in propaganda. The Art of public persuasion. After the second…

  • The Hidden Truth Behind Consistency (not many know)

    The first advice people will hear is to be consistent. Post daily. Stick to your schedule. Be consistent. Most give this advice without giving you the understanding of why it matters. “When everybody is consistent, I’m not able to stand out.” That’s what I often hear as a response. “I need to focus on my quality, since everybody is focused on quantity.” This is also a false belief. Since you don’t even know what quantity is. So back to the advice to be consistent. Most people that try…

  • You Won’t Have Time “Someday”

    I’ve thought about this a lot. We often take our life and the time we have for granted. How often do I catch myself with a thought of:“Someday I’ll do this” or“When I have time, I’ll get to it.” Those are statements that make us feel good because we didn’t say no to it — and we still believe that we will get there. But the reality is: We don’t magically get more time. And we also don’t know how much time we have left in our life. My mom dreamed of retirement. Yet God has called her home by…
