Content creator

Changing

Where this job sits on the map

In the same group: 78 of 100 professions.

What changes

  1. One piece quickly turns into posts for several platforms

  2. There is more and more generic AI content, so personal experience and a real point of view are worth more

  3. Sponsored posts and realistic AI content have to be labeled honestly, under platform rules and the FTC's rules on ad disclosure

AI drafts, the person decides

How the work splits here: AI prepares a draft, the person checks it and makes the call.

AI makes the draft

What AI does

  • Suggests topics and writes script drafts from your key points
  • Repackages a video into posts, a newsletter and short clips
  • Builds a media kit and drafts emails to brands
  • Breaks down your analytics: which topics land and which don't
  • Makes captions, thumbnails and simple edits
You check itRead it, check the facts, fix it. Without this check the draft goes nowhere.
You decide and stay responsible

What stays with the person

  • Your own opinion, experience and face: that's what people subscribe for
  • Fact-checking before you publish
  • Choosing which brands to work with, and responsibility for what you recommend
  • Real conversation with your audience in the comments
