The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
Most people can't distinguish high-quality AI content from human-created content when consuming casually
The Reasoning
Users in 'brain rotted frame of mind' while scrolling social media lack the attention and motivation to scrutinize content authenticity
What Needs to Be True
- AI content quality continues improving
- Users maintain fast-consumption social media habits
- Detection tools remain inaccessible to average users
- Platform algorithms don't penalize AI content
Counterargument
Users will develop better AI detection skills over time, or platforms will implement mandatory AI labeling
What Would Change This View
Widespread AI literacy education, obvious quality degradation in AI content, or regulatory requirements for AI disclosure
Implications for Builders
Focus on content quality over detection avoidance
Build in transparency about AI usage
Prepare for eventual detection improvements
Prioritize value delivery over authenticity tricks
Example Application
“TikTok slideshows using AI-generated images and narratives achieving high engagement because viewers focus on entertainment value rather than authenticity”
