Write Your Own Copy

20•operatingthetan•6h ago
Every day I'm seeing people making websites for the sole purpose of posting to HN, and it's all AI. The site, the words, the ideas. Obviously that person had the idea to begin with, but the execution is slop.

These people are putting their names on this stuff, and everyone in the world right now is learning to recognize the tells of AI writing. The tone, the abstractness, the specific phrasing. We all know it. It's a turn off.

So my idea is simple: write your own copy. That's an advantage now. It's becoming scarce today. Be real. Whatever that means to you.

For those who want to get better at writing, the easiest way is to read judiciously. Of course you do have to practice what you want to become good at as well.

For marketing copy, have conversations with users. They will give you the perspectives, pitches, and parlance you seek.

Handwriting (copying word for word) good copy is also a great way to become a good copywriter.

I’m genuinely impressed by the speed of mass slopification raising the toxicity of the whole internet.

And now poisoning human attention and the very ability to reason. At scale.

Makes me think of Kali Yuga, the age of ignorance.

Are we doing this to ourselves? Is it being done to us? Is it some kind of self destruct implanted by aliens in a dark forest scenario?

It’s just… really fascinating.

Also reminds me of this - story
