AI can write. It cannot decide what is worth saying.
This article discusses how the focus on AI-generated content is shifting from mere production volume to the quality and substance required for AI systems to deem it valuable. It highlights that AI now reads and judges content, impacting brand visibility, and emphasizes the need for human creativity to provide unique insights, research, and opinion that AI cannot replicate.
