# The End of the Economic Age of Content By:: [[Brian Heath]] 2023-05-06 It used to be that content was king, but AI bots are quickly commoditizing this space. In a few years, the value of content will be on par with a fast food meal: cheap, obtained quickly, tasty, not entirely good for you but able to deliver core sustenance. Of course, fancy and creative restaurants will still exist, but more people will consume fast food in some form than anything else. Truly unique content produced by humans will quickly be absorbed and integrated into content-generating AI. There will always be space for true human creativity, and it will take many new forms with AI support. But the economic age of content is over, and potentially the entire attention economy. What will take its place? Maybe we are entering the second age of enlightenment. Or something entirely different. Either way, Conservatives be prepared: what got us here won't get us where we are going. #### Related Items [[Content]] [[Creative]] [[Thinking]] [[Enlightenment]] [[Economics]] [[Age]]
