Do you think AI-generated content will commoditize user-generated content?

Everyday, I see new tools coming up that ease the creation of content on different social media platforms. For example, today https://www.producthunt.com/post... was launched and I noticed how easy it would be for anyone to write personalized posts on LinkedIn. But it is intriguing to think that if anyone, irrespective of whether they know about a topic or not, is able to create high-quality posts, then I as a consumer will not know what posts are valuable for me, among the plethora of those posts and eventually will affect the engagement of good creators. Do you think there will come a point when UGC on social media and other platforms will be commoditized enough to loose majority of it's value and associated marketing benefits?

If feel you are right. But, the scale of it will be limited I think. AI will be able to empower the users to write posts, but not put in the kind of expertise/experience that a genuinely knowledgeable person can share. AI will be able to help in compiling the post better and maybe summarize and give ideas, but not drive what and how to deliver. Can draw parallel to how in early 2000s everyone said that basic bookkeeping will be vanished, but we still see it in a new avatar powered by excel and now AI. Something similar will happen to social media too. For example: book authors won't be commoditized because there are a lot of variables in the process of writing a book that AI cannot yet handle.

AI will definitely impact user-generated content to some degree. But I think truly insightful, experience-based posts from knowledgeable humans will still be highly valued. AI can help polish and streamline content creation, but it can't fully replicate genuine expertise and novel ideas. Kind of like how AI now assists with basic tasks in many fields, but human judgment and creativity are still essential. So while AI may change the landscape, I don't think it will totally commoditize user content, especially for thought leaders and subject matter experts sharing original perspectives.

AI tool certainly makes content creation easier, but I believe there will always be a place for authentic, user generated content.

It is undoubtedly more convenient for artificial intelligence regarding rewriting and plagiarism... In the future, a large amount of AI-generated content will undoubtedly flood various major platforms.
