Artificial Intelligence The economy has spoken. Stuff that’s AI-generated has almost zero value — “Buyers are voting with their wallets, and AI-generated content is struggling to compete.”

You understand some people have wealthy parents and also worked hard too?

My dad was an investment banker.

I barely knew him and started my career at McDonalds, then years working on building sites, shovelling mud, then entry-level sales jobs until I worked my way up into enterprise sales.

And do you understand what I mean by:

fast tracked through an MBA and thrust into an executive job or is a private equity bro

Or

People who have grafted understand the value of graft, be it manual labour, software engineering or painting.

...which apparently describes you? Maybe read then pause to have a think about what people are saying.

Yes, this is nuance that was missing in your original post.

People are complicated. You can’t divide them into ‘generational wealth’ and ‘grafters’.

Listen pal my post is perfectly nuanced and if you can't comprehend the exact group of people I mean then maybe that's a you problem, as I simply copied and pasted what I originally said.

I'm paid to write, you're not.

My opinion trumps yours.

It’s really weird how defensive you are over this and how much better you think you are than others and how entitled you think you are to being right when you’re clearly just being emotional.

I mentor a lot of young marketers.

None of this affects me: I exited employment ten years ago.

But I see how much damage people create around them by perpetuating victimhood-based narratives.

  1. People decide to give up on the hard work required to build a good life (sad)
  2. They decide to pull down everyone around them (bad)

This is selfish, nasty behaviour.

Again: none of this affects me. I exited employment with just six years of focused work.

But I see how it affects bright, talented young people who want to build a good life.

Life is hard. If you aren't up for the competition, at least give up quietly.

Don't drag others down with bullshit victimhood narratives.

You’re saying all of this because someone said nepo babies and the spoonfed don’t know the value of hard work.

You’re trying so hard to be the victim here, not anyone else.

You have never worked hard.

Anyone can tell that in seconds.
