AI is very good at making content, but I still choose to be myself

Hello guys. Today, I was sitting in a coffee shop with cars passing by in front of me. Suddenly I wanted to tell you about something I've been thinking about a lot lately: AI and content creators. You know, AI starts from understanding language, understanding words, understanding images. That means in the field of words, AI is extremely strong. But content creators like me live by words and pictures. So this is the field where AI affects the most, and also creates the most value. Anyone who knows how to use AI can do a lot of things, reducing a lot of work, especially finding and synthesizing information. Up to this point, I see many people have used AI to write articles, edit videos, create cover images, and think of ideas. So many.

I myself also use AI a lot. Honestly, now you can no longer blame yourself for incorrect spelling or clunky sentences. Because after I finish writing, I give it to AI to rewrite the grammar and adjust the sentences to make them neat and error-free. But I want to make it clear: my ideas are still my ideas, AI only touches sentence structure and spelling, it does not interfere with the content. That's why you feel like my songs are cleaner and smoother these days. But I think a little further. When everyone can use AI — everyone spends money to buy a Pro or Premium account, then type a few commands to get content — then what will happen? I see it like this: those contents will eventually be very similar, similar to each other, not much different from one person to another. And most importantly, it has no emotions. It has no experience, no emotions, no sharing. But if you are willing to sit down, think for yourself, and talk about your own experiences, then that will still have its value. That cannot be changed by AI.

Many people say "change or die" — no innovation, no video, no TikTok, no YouTube, you will lose. For me, it's the opposite: new change is death. Death is when you are no longer yourself. If one day I make a video quickly, speak quickly, do everything mechanically according to the framework, then at that time I will see that it is no longer me. But if that's the case, I'll go do something else. From a young age until now, I have been able to do many things, know how to do many things, if I don't do this, I do something else. So I won't sacrifice my ego to follow something just because it has a lot of viewers. My way of doing things is always through experience. When I received a review of the cleaning robot, I tested it, measured the noise level, measured the cleanliness, and tried all kinds of things. When reviewing phones, I take a lot of pictures, because I love taking pictures, to see how it turns out and then share. I almost never sit down and read the configuration to my friends, because the configuration doesn't solve the problem - what's important is the experience. Maybe I'm the one from the user's perspective to explain those features in a way that you can listen to. Engineering is difficult to understand, marketing is so flighty — and I'm in the middle. And I don't create content because I'm afraid of people hating me or to please many people who will like it. I do it because I want it to be me, and the ultimate goal is to help you buy exactly the product you need and effectively use the money you spend. I've been doing this since the day I opened Tinhte, from the time no one paid for it, until now. That's my passion. So in short: I still use AI, to some extent. But I will not use AI to replace me. Because I still have to be me. The day I am no longer myself, I no longer exist. Thank you for listening to me talk a little bit today.
