An era where anyone can become a "good writer" with AI. Yet, those with unique experiences and thoughts will still stand out.

Recently, the barrier to sharing information has dropped significantly.

If you rely on AI, anyone can write polished text in an instant. Everyone is naturally putting out "well-written text."

I call this situation the "Great Ghostwriter Era."

AI is not a "writer," but a "diluter."

Ghostwriting means having someone else create the thoughts themselves, right?

But that is probably not what AI is truly good at.

It is about organizing the thoughts that are already inside you and making them easy for others to understand. Humans create the raw material, and AI makes it easy to consume. The roles are fundamentally different.

Writing without a concentrate is skillful but tasteless.

This is easy to understand if you think about Calpis.

Only you can create the concentrate. Your daily experiences, the things you have pondered over, the moments your heart was moved. That is your own unique "concentrate."

AI is the presence that adds water to that and makes it the perfect consistency.

Therefore, I think that if you use AI without having a concentrate, all that comes out is just water. It is skillful, but it has no flavor.

Conversely, if you have the concentrate, even if your writing is somewhat clumsy, the way you dilute it can be managed later.What has value is not how you add the water, but the concentrate itself.

Where is the "concentrate" created?

People whose minds tend to be cluttered might actually be a good match for AI. It is like having a partner who is good at tidying up right by your side.

But there is something we must not forget. AI will not put the concentrate into an empty glass for you.

The concentrate grows, perhaps, in the time you show no one. On a walk where you mutter to yourself, or in a notebook where you scribble down your thoughts just as they are. It is the time you spend capturing the moments your heart was moved in your own words.

I think that in the coming era, the value will not be in "people who can write," but in "people who have their own concentrate."

Because in this era, AI will help you with how to add the water as much as you need.

What is your "concentrate"? Have you had any moments recently where your heart was deeply moved? If you would like, please tell me.

(A brief announcement from here on.)

I have compiled the habit of organizing one's mind through self-talk and journaling—what you might call "how to cultivate the raw essence"—into a single book.

"Once I Decided to Stop Meeting Expectations, I Could Finally Breathe"

Habits of "self-talk" and "journaling" for introverts who find life difficult.

I hope this reaches those who get tired from overthinking.
