Debates and discussions surrounding the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have soared since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022. On the one hand, there are advocates of AI who believe in its immense potential to increase efficiency and output, while on the other, there are critics and skeptics who believe that AI adoption can trigger job losses.

In a tweet, Ohanian revealed what he thinks of AI in an era where human intelligence feels increasingly threatened.
Alexis Ohanian is a renowned internet entrepreneur who played a crucial role in revolutionizing social media by co-founding the microblogging site, Reddit. Although he stepped away from its board of directors, Ohanian actively gives his opinions about the latest development in the tech sector.

However, this is leading to a situation where content quantity is taking precedence over quality. In his tweet, Ohanian referred to this as a “tsunami of A.I. for content creation & storytelling”. He went on to write that it “will only make the most HUMAN of stories *more* valuable”.
According to Ohanian’s prediction, primarily AI-generated content is likely to be “commoditized” in the future. For content creators worried about the potential impact of AI on their livelihoods, Ohanian’s prediction is sure to come as a relief.

Ohanian’s love for technology shaped much of his life and made him the successful entrepreneur and investor he is today. However, going by his tweet, it’s clear that he values human-generated content far more than AI-generated content.
Despite Serena’s husband’s optimistic prediction, the fact is that there’s still a lot of tension surrounding ChatGPT adoption. Professionals in the content industry are especially worried about ChatGPT taking over their jobs. ChatGPT’s success so far is also pushing the likes of Meta and Google to offer their own AI solutions.
