Greg Eisenberg on AI slop (and making $$ from it)
Greg Isenberg’s viral post breaks down the phenomenon of “AI slop” — the flood of generic, AI-generated content saturating the internet. With tools making it easier than ever to build and publish, the landscape is changing fast. But his big insight? When everything feels mass-produced, differentiation and trust shoot up in value. In other words, the sloppier things get, the clearer the opportunities become.
The real shift: Trust compression
As AI floods the market with more of everything, people crave signals of credibility — not shiny features. The question isn’t just who’s making it, but why you should listen or buy. That’s where established experts, thoughtful design, and recognizable voices pull ahead.
What gains value in an AI-slop world
- Authenticity and known brands become priceless
- Trust, governance, and distribution channels matter more
- Exclusive data and hard-to-copy insights gain an edge
- Taste, curation, and community build long-term loyalty
