My mum loves TikTok.
She can sit for hours just scrolling and laughing.
But every time she shows me a video, I somehow end up ruining the fun 😭
I’ll be like,
“Mummy, this one is AI-generated.”
At first, she used to get so annoyed.
She’d say, “Ah ah, Tomi! Is everything now AI?”
But recently, something changed.
Now when I tell her, she just laughs and says,
“Am I not laughing? As long as it entertains me, I’m fine with it 😂”
That response surprised me a little.
Because she’s right.
People don’t really care who creates the content, human or AI — as long as it connects, entertains or teaches them something valuable.
We keep arguing about whether AI will replace creators,
but most people just want to feel something when they watch, read, or listen.
AI didn’t steal the audience, it just learned how to hold attention.
So if you’re a creator, maybe the real question isn’t
“Will AI replace me?”
It’s
“Can I still connect with people the way AI now can?”
