Enter Label: The Last Days of Influence. Except you.
On your inevitable AI-powered march toward becoming an influencer.
Dear Companions,
The internet is changing rapidly due to AI. I’m not talking about AI to write a caption, or the AI slop running rampant, but something deeper. Due to recent AI immersion building Healingvrse, I suddenly sensed a measurable alteration in internet surface texture.
Social is flat.
If we spend most of our time rabbit-holing or doomscrolling on ChatGPT or Claude and the like, our return to Web 2.0 platforms — be it Instagram, Tik Tok, or Substack — feels flat. It’s as though all social media is the last scene of the Truman Show. You can see the iron girders in the background propping this up.
Because even though we always talk about the algorithm, social is actually a human-led content experience, and it is starting to feel like a one-dimensional way to access information once you get used to the prowess of your mind in contact with an AI.
Who can compete?
Taking that flatness further: within a year, being influenced to buy a product will feel outdated. Who can compete with the answers I get from AI before purchasing?
So, I realized this too: the AI influencers will become popular not because they look and feel like humans, passing the ever-outdated Turing test, but precisely because they don’t.
Human led-content will still matter — especially for mind-body-soul (or best sandwich) advice — but much of the rest will melt away. So, what’s the good news?
You become influencer.
Powered by AI, you will be the one driving your interests, desires, and expansion — armed with an AI legion that can bring your ideas or interests to fruition. Why would you take the time to sit and watch anyone doing anything online, save for a few areas?
Thus, the era of 10K people piling on to a piece of content will fade. Instead, there will be more tight-knit, even if anonymous communities, and people IRL seeking to escape a widening of censorship powered by quantum machines.
We will be making up new languages on the fly to evade tracking, and in many other ways, human life will continue to evolve in a search for freedom.
The Healingvrse could fit nicely into such landscape, fostering a clearer sense of self, if we are indeed to become our own influencers. There friends become witness of our evolution, rather one in a million likes in the feed.
But if you do not develop a sense of self, this will be a massively disorienting time — not simply because jobs will go away, but because if your experience with AI is poor, you will only have yourself to blame.
If you want to create something together, please join our community. And in case I don’t see ya: good afternoon, good evening, and…good luck!
With much love from the Healingvrse,
Rebecca
p.s. I will always love the me-nah-do-this Jamacain DJ regardless of all outcomes.
This is also why HV will be Dashboard led - perhaps provide notes on Dashboard universe
