It’s Still Worth Blogging in the Age of AI

,

Blogging remains valuable in the AI era for learning and thinking, creating a tangible record of knowledge. It benefits both the writer and future readers, despite AI's ability to summarize or generate content. Posts help solidify understanding and provide a portfolio for career opportunities. While blogging alone may not lead to fame, it fosters engagement and personal growth. Ultimately, the satisfaction of writing and sharing thoughts outweighs potential downsides of AI competition.

Why Blog If Nobody Reads It?

Blogging may seem pointless if no one reads it, but it offers hidden value: clarity of thought, self-reflection, and the act of creation itself. The true audience includes future selves, maybe one right person, and the work itself. Writing is an essential process, akin to street photography, done for personal fulfillment rather than validation. The key takeaway: the work matters, regardless of readership.

Running a link blog since 2003, Simon Willison shares his methods for publishing “blogmarks” with titles, URLs, commentary, and crediting authors. After upgrading to Markdown, he emphasizes creating enriching content through context, quotations, and related links while ensuring a personal touch. Technically, his blog operates on Django, featuring a search function and draft mode, while he also publishes a weekly newsletter. He encourages more link sharing, viewing it as a valuable internet contribution amid prevalent social media algorithms.
