If ChatGPT or Claude could give the same take, you haven't done your job. That's basically the whole moat for creators now.

That test lives inside your own head though, since you're the only one who knows what the LLM's first draft looked like. Publishing the miss alongside the take, the draft and where you cut it, would actually let a reader see the gap for themselves.

Not sure I follow

What I was getting at is that, since AI isn’t going anywhere, with each piece a creator generates with AI, the creator is the only one who sees Claude’s first draft before they rewrite it, so they’re also the only one who really knows how big the gap is.

So perhaps the more interesting moat is making that gap visible, to show the draft alongside the final piece, or whatever the creator generated and what they changed,cut etc. Otherwise, the moat you’re describing is still mostly a claim by the creator, which I think will become even more important when creators have to defend their value and their moat to clients.

Hm I actually don't use Claude for first drafts! But that could be interesting.

Thanks for the organising bit at the end!

Been an avid follower but this makes it easier for me to turn into an avid learner now.
