The answer is already in your question. The original Industrial Revolution concentrated wealth and yet increased the baseline wealth for everyone else. There is no reason to believe otherwise in this revolution.

Though for those of us above the current baseline (e.g. basically everyone reading this), it’s not guaranteed that the new baseline will be above our current lifestyle.

Why? Industrial Revolution increased everyone’s baseline

If you’re a software bro making $300k today, and lose your job to AI, it’s very unlikely that the new baseline for everyone is going to be that of a $300k income. At least not anytime soon.

Do you know how reach happens though? Because if you don't, I suppose you wouldn't know if this tool was appropriate or not? (not saying that to be rude btw, just sayin!)

This tool is a content generator. It does not create reach. So I think I do not get your question? If you read the Pomelli article it states in the first sentences that Pomelli will help small businesses by creating campaigns. "Pomelli is an AI marketing tool designed to help SMBs more easily generate scalable, on-brand social media campaigns to help grow their businesses." But my point is, those campaigns are useles…

Content is a component of reach.

Reach happens through channel marketing virally, virally typical happens via novelty.

Creative humans can use any tool to execute reach, this particular tool seems it would be a good one for that, in fact.

Yes, content is _one_ component of reach, but without reach useless. And good content does not lead automatically to reach. Reach is developed by a lot of factors, channel marketing is also only one _minor_ factor of it. This tool does not help significantly with building all of that reputation you need to be trusted and gaining reach. It can't, because it does not create new channels and connections between humans.

With all due respect, this is simply a tool for creating content, one component of being able to reach people in channels where they consume your novel and interesting messages that both stand out and are shared, such they are aware of your amazing and unique product or service.

It's not correct in business to blame a tool for a lack of creativity, some people are not very creative, those people tend to struggle with reach and therefore their attempt at a business, fails. I built 2 publicly traded businesses this way.

I would say a couple of things: 1. Just because I don't use something doesn't mean that I think it shouldn't exist or be sold. People can make their own choices. A product isn't bad or useless or unnecessary because it doesn't align with my preferences. I'm fine with people being able to make their own choices about what they buy. Also, I generally don't think people should have to live a totally ascetic lifestyle. I…

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I do agree that we don't need to extremify asceticism. I certainly own useless crap.

I think I do specifically have a minimalist approach to kitchens inspired by setups such as hundred rabbits' https://100r.co/site/cooking.html plus I also am becoming increasingly concerned with my carbon footprint given the climate-related extinction event we are currently facing, and that probably strikes out personal promotion of any unneeded kitchenware.

I'm curious about the economics of what you do, if you've ever written about it elsewhere.

No, I have seen plenty of awkward people talking about their new business. The awkwardness is inferior to charismatic speakers, for sure, but it's still better than generic AI slop marketing content.

All of those people have already pass through a filter of self-selection There's a person out there that's 1) knows how to bake amazing cookies 2) has no desire to record tik toks Why is that you need both of those things combined to have a successful cookie business? Can't we desire a world where just being good at baking cookies is good enough? You don't ALSO have to record a bunch of tik toks?

Some products are so good they don't need marketing. Some marketing is so good the product doesn't matter. But most of the time you need both.

Even https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis had a great product (idea): if doctors wash their hands, fewer of their patients will die. But his marketing (personality) was off-putting, and his ideas weren't accepted until after his death.

sure but whatever mechanism allowed for jobs to exist a few years/decades after industrial revolution will apply here as well. with some jobs lost and chaos in the middle that is un-avoidable.
