The rise of AI automation is reshaping the content creation industry. A great example is Thirdweb's use of Leap AI to streamline content workflows. This has led to significant improvements in efficiency and SEO output, but also significant job losses for content creators. AI's increasing reliance on traditionally human tasks has sparked debate about the future of content creativity and authenticity. Critics argue that while AI increases productivity, it also threatens to create a homogenized, soulless content environment and diminish the role of human writers, raising concerns about job stability and the quality of AI-generated content.
The marketing industry is in uproar as AI automation threatens traditional content creation and leads to job losses for content creators. Thirdweb is at the forefront of transforming workflows with Leap AI, and while the efficiency gains are undeniable, the shift is sparking discussion about the impact AI will have on work and creativity.
Fast-growing startup Thirdweb deployed Leap AI to meet their content needs and capture more organic search traffic, and the results have been astounding: a 10x increase in SEO output and the elimination of countless hours of manual work.
“Leap can save months of manual work and thousands of dollars,” says Cathal Berragan, director of marketing at Thirdweb, “but you need to consider whether you're sacrificing reliability for efficiency.”
How Thirdweb Uses AI to Take Control of Marketing
Thirdweb’s aggressive use of Leap AI to handle a variety of marketing tasks is sending shock waves throughout the industry.
- SEO Optimized Blog: AI generates content around trending keywords with unmatched speed.
- YouTube to SEO Guide: AI transcribes your video and turns it into a step-by-step guide.
- Automation Case Studies: Transform your customer success messages into compelling stories.
- Engaging Newsletter: AI creates newsletters that engage your audience.
Leap AI also offers a suite of free tools to enhance content creation, including an AI content detector to ensure originality, an AI image generator to create compelling visuals, and other tools to refine and diversify your content.
“We take a link to a YouTube video, transcribe it, use ChatGPT, Claude or other image generation tools, create SEO metadata, and post it to your CMS with the click of a button. No manual work,” Berragan explains. While its efficiency is astounding, critics argue it's a step toward replacing human writers entirely.
AI and human creativity: a double-edged sword
Leap AI is touted as a tool that will unlock human creativity by eliminating mundane tasks, but critics worry it will lead to a homogenized content environment lacking authentic humanity.
“This isn't a replacement for human ingenuity or creativity, but it helps reduce manual tasks and scale,” Berragan points out. Despite these benefits, the debate continues over whether AI should be an assistant or a master.
To ensure consistency, Thirdweb leverages its accumulated knowledge to train AI agents on existing content, which ensures high-quality output but raises questions about originality and authenticity.
“All our AI agents are trained on existing content, which means we're trying to improve quality,” Berragan says, “but this approach might mean we're reusing old ideas in new packages.”
The dark side: job losses
The impact of AI on job losses in the writing and content creation sector is significant: the World Economic Forum predicts that by 2025, AI will replace 85 million jobs while creating 97 million new jobs, for a net gain of 12 million. But this transition will be difficult: generative AI tools such as ChatGPT are leading to job cuts in the media and technology sectors as companies pivot to AI-driven processes.
In content creation, 85.1% of AI users use AI to create blog content, and many feel that AI-generated content is as good as or better than human-written content. Despite this, over 50% of digital marketers are concerned that AI will take over their jobs.
“Critics often overlook the fact that AI is designed to enhance human capabilities, not replace them. Leap AI automates repetitive tasks, allowing creators to focus on the strategic and creative aspects,” said Claudio Fuentes, CEO of Leap. “Creativity lies in ideas, not manual labor. Our technology streamlines processes, creating efficiency without compromising quality.”
Google's stance on AI-generated content
Google's latest guidelines, in line with Thirdweb's strategy, place emphasis on content quality regardless of where it comes from, sparking a wider discussion about the future of content creation and the role of human writers.
“We've found that Google's stance is that it's the quality of the content that matters, not how you produce it. Thoughtful and diligent use of these tools will ensure a quality output,” Berragan emphasized. A key question remains: is AI the future of content, or will it undermine human expertise?
“Absolutely not,” Fuentes added. “AI supports human creators, but it can't replicate the nuance and emotional depth humans bring to content creation. Leap's goal is to augment human creativity, not replace it. The future of content creation is a symbiotic relationship between humans and AI.”
Conclusion
Thirdweb improved their SEO performance and content strategy by adopting an AI-powered workflow. But their reliance on automation has sparked a debate about the future of content creation. As AI evolves, the marketing world must grapple with its implications.
“AI will make the best marketing teams 100 times more efficient. Game on,” concluded Berragan. The true cost of this remains to be seen.
