AI Will Replace Jobs, But Not Creators: Here’s Why Your Imagination Still Wins

AI will replace jobs but not creators.

Not the people who imagine, who innovate, who express, who storytell, who bring emotion into a world drowning in automation. Your imagination is still the most valuable currency on the internet.

Let’s talk about why.

AI can:

But AI cannot:

And this is the real difference.

AI produces content.
Creators produce identity.

Identity is what people follow.
Identity is why people buy.
Identity is what no machine can replicate.

Here’s what the new era of AI-powered social platforms shows clearly:

The more AI floods the internet with generic content, the more human voices stand out.

Readers know when a post was written by someone who:

AI can mimic tone, structure, vocabulary.
But it cannot mimic your life.

And on X?
Life is what drives engagement.
Life is what creates community.
Life is what the algorithm rewards.

Especially now that Grok reads context and depth, not just likes.

The WSJ just reported the highest price ever paid for modern art at auction.

While equities, gold, bitcoin hover near highs, the art market is showing signs of early recovery after one of the longest downturns since the 1990s.

Here’s where it gets interesting→

Each investing environment is unique, but after the dot com crash, contemporary and post-war art grew ~24% a year for a decade, and after 2008, it grew ~11% annually for 12 years.*

Overall, the segment has outpaced the S&P by 15 percent with near-zero correlation from 1995 to 2025.

Now, Masterworks lets you invest in shares of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso. Since 2019, investors have deployed $1.25 billion across 500+ artworks.

Masterworks has sold 25 works with net annualized returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.

Shares can sell quickly, but my subscribers skip the waitlist:

The combo that wins in 2025 and beyond:

Creators who use AI as an amplifier - not a crutch - are rising faster than ever.

And we’re seeing it right now:

AI didn’t replace them.
AI launched them.

Taste is the new talent.

Two people can use the same tool but their output won’t be the same.

Why?

Because taste decides:

AI can generate infinite options.
But taste is what turns options into art.

And taste comes from:

No model can copy that.

AI will replace:

AI will not replace:

Meaning-makers will always be needed.

And creators are meaning-makers.

1. Let AI handle the boring. You handle the brilliant.

Automate what drains you, not what defines you.

2. Publish your thoughts, not just your content

Your perspective is your competitive edge.

3. Build your style intentionally

Voice, visuals, pacing, themes - make them yours.

4. Experiment with new tools

Grok, Imagine, Midjourney, Runway, ElevenLabs…
Don’t fear them.
Use them.

5. Collaborate with your audience

Talk to them.
Engage with them.
Build with them - not at them.

AI is not your competition.
AI is your leverage.

The more the world automates,
the more valuable your imagination becomes.

You don’t need millions of followers.
You need courage to publish.
Every creator you admire started by posting something nobody saw.

That’s it for today. And if you have any questions reply to this email directly, I promise I read them all.

See you in the next one
