Two things lead me to think human content online will soon become way more valuable.
Scarcity. As AI agents begin fill the internet with tons of slop, human content will be relatively scarcer. Other humans will seek it out.
Better routing. As AI leads to the improvement of search/recommendation systems, human content will be routed to exactly the people who will value it most. (This is far from the case Twitter/Reddit today). As human content is able to reach more of the humans that value it, it gets valued more. That includes existing human content: most of the content online that is eerily relevant to you… you haven’t seen yet because surfacing algorithms are bad.
The implication: make tons of digital stuff. Write/Draw/Voice-record/etc

Human content isn’t easy to distinguish from non-human content.
and still the fact that it is human matters to other humans
Only if the reader can be certain about whether or not something is human.
i agree but think its solvable and so human content will be duper valuable. these are my additional assumptions
3. for lots of kinds of content (photos/stories/experiences/adr), people’ll want it to be a living being on the other end
4. insofar as that’s true^, there will be high demand for ways to verify humanness, and it’s not impossible to do so (eg worldcoin)
