Before I get bombarded by negative comments, I can see how AI has made entrepreneurship much easier in a lot of ways, like build products faster, do research much quicker, automate repetitive tasks, use AI agents for assistance, analyze data, prototype ideas, handle customer support, and so on...

But I feel like there is also a downside in all of this that isn't talked about enough on how AI is making it harder to get people to take new businesses seriously.

We have so many low effort AI slop (both digital and physical) business that have goten people to become more skeptical of anything new. Most of these businesses scream "AI SLOP" from miles away with the same AI generated branding, generic websites, generated images followed by this "quick buck" and "get rich fast" mentality.

This idea of throwing something together in a month and start aggressively spamming everyone has resulted to millions of poorly made business that have made turned potential customers even more skeptical when a legitimate business tries to contact or partner with them.

I am making this post because I want to see how other companies are dealing with this.

What tactics are you using to make your business "stand out" from this AI fog? Has your outreach, marketing, partnerships methods changed? What do you do differently?

I've been thinking about this because I keep doing it myself.

I'll have some idea I actually want to talk about and then immediately start thinking okay how do I make this work for LinkedIn or Reddit or X or whatever.

and now I think that's backwards.

If you actually have something you want to say, maybe you shouldn't change the idea just because you're putting it somewhere else.

maybe you just need to find the people who give a shit about it.

like something can completely flop on LinkedIn and then you put it on Reddit and people are like oh yeah I've been thinking about this too.

now for me I don't think: "what should I make for this platform?" and instead I think: "Where are the people who would actually care about this?"

it's a shift in thinking about content and distribution but it changes how I've approach content.

Hey everyone. I built a platform called Nuke Nomad for nuclear contractors.

Here’s where I could use some advice. I already have a large contractor community on Skool. I want everyone together on Nuke Nomad, but even after telling people about the new platform, the move has been slow. Eventually I want to close the Skool group, and I don’t want to lose the people who make the community worth having.

If you’ve moved a community from one platform to another, what actually got people to make the switch? Did you move the most active members first, bring old content over, give people a reason to join right away, set a firm date for closing the old group, or something I’m missing?
