**Submission Statement:** AI isn’t just assisting content creation—it’s replacing it. Independent creators are already struggling as AI-generated YouTube videos, books, music, and art flood the market at an unstoppable rate. This article examines the current impact and asks: **What happens next?** If AI fully dominates creative industries, will human-made content become obsolete, a niche luxury, or evolve into something entirely new? As the Will to Power drives refinement across all industries, is this shift inevitable, or can independent creators adapt to survive in an AI-dominated future?
I feel a lot of everything has been done and there isn’t that much original stuff to do. Look at film, music etc over the last 5 years. It’s all just rehash of old stuff (with a few exceptions). When you have 6 billion people doing things for centuries, you must run out of ways to organize musical notes that sound pleasant. Stories to tell that last an hour and a half etc etc.
It takes something pretty special these days to be stand out different!
When everything is AI generated, original content will start to demand a premium. Eventually an equilibrium will be reached.
I already don’t get noticed and my stuff rarely gets more than 200 views. I’m still going to do it because it’s my reason to exist as a person. A.I can take over all it wants, I’ll still make art and post it even with 0 views.
My problem these days with “content creators” is.. I want to see the content of the subject at hand.
Not their face. Not a thumbnail of their content with their face big in screen acting shocked with a clickbait title.
AI generated stuff on YouTube is such crap, though. The narrations are awful, with really obvious words mispronounced, and embarrassing mistakes in the research. I get a lot of music-related shorts in my feed, the history of certain musicians, bands, etc. They’re hard to watch. And people in the comments are saying the same thing. Obviously getting comments for being crap is still engagement, but how depressing if it’s beating other content in engagement because it’s bad and people are noticing how bad.
