I agree with this. Further, I've started to focus on writing about things that AI cannot write about, like how I experience something or preferences I have. And I've started to consume more content like that, rather than 'knowledge condensification downloads' that used to be satisfying from certain sources.

I wrote about that too. Somewhere along the way we turned the quirky oldschool blogs into a sort of CliffsNotes on a topic. They became way less cool as a result.

Blogs still exist to a certain degree, but they are different. Now they tend to be either more formal and journalist-ey, or a thinly veiled advertisement. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the former, and if the latter is cloaked in a genuinely useful tutorial on some particular tool/technology then I can’t really begrudge them their plug. But they both lack some of that old magic.
