I met a client recently who runs a production company for creators. He said something that hit me hard. “This year, we only signed 3 big industry players. Not a single small or mid-size client. It feels like the entire middle market got destroyed by AI slop.”
And honestly, he might be right.
Everywhere you look, the internet feels the same. Same tone, same words, same ideas. It's polished but empty.
Now it’s just two extremes: top experts who still command premium rates, and AI tools that do the rest for free or cheap. The middle? Gone.
I’ve seen it up close. Writers, designers, developers, good people who built careers on skill and steady work suddenly struggling to stay relevant.
Is it bitter truth or relevant to discuss in this ai era
