"If I was starting over and looking for Fastlane opportunities, I wouldn't be writing."
This was even before AI was mentioned in the thread.
Is it still worth it to write on Medium as a beginner in Entrepreneurship? Or even write at all?
I've started writing consistently for the last 3 months now, have around 250 followers and have earned around $5.
For the past week, I've been publishing every day, as advised by Nicolas Cole in his book about online writing. I find it very difficult.
Now, Nicolas Cole himself has started popularizing using AI for writing and as a tool to come up with endless ideas.
Tons of users are making articles using AI.
They can publish at a faster rate and with ease. I've found so many AI articles with a high amount of claps. Scroll down to the comments and you find comments written about how great this article is, using AI, from accounts that also post AI articles. It's like a wholesome AI writing society sitting in a circle scratching each other's backs.
I feel like I'm wasting my time because I could be spending this energy in the pursuit of something more worthwhile. Of course, learning to write is a good skill, but posting articles on Medium feels obsolete when I'm competing with this enormous supply of daily articles. Once I hit 120 articles written, I plan to re-evaluate writing and quit if it's not worthwhile. Currently around 51 articles published.
At least I'll rack up some credibility if I'm going to go for other writing-related pursuits.
I do not enjoy writing every day and writing repetitive self-help content as if I'm an all-knowing and experienced guru but it's the only type of content that works on there.
Interested in hearing your thoughts on this topic. Should I succumb to the AI dark side myself or ignorantly stay human?
