I’ve learned something today about content creation from a top AI influencer.
He created a fundamental course on how one particular concept of AI apps works (RAG aka. retrieval augmented generation).
I wanted to do a similar course more than a year ago, last summer. But, at that time, I was thinking: “this topic is too fundamental, it’s kind-of dumb to build a course like this”.
More than a year later, this guy makes a video about it. He likely makes as much money PER WEEK as I’ve made in my entire life. But he took the time and explained this to beginners. The thing that was a little cringe for me, because I’ve felt that I’m too smart or too important for it more than a year ago, is made by him today.
I recognize this pattern over and over again. Even billionaire investors create content and go out make a fool of themselves, because creating content is that important. It’s part of the modern way of doing business. Actually it’s part of survival at this point.
