Is the Art of Blog Writing being taken away by AI?

The Golden Age of Blogging: Where Did It Go?

Once upon a time, blogs were the digital campfire where ideas sparked, opinions clashed, and creativity flowed. They were raw, personal, and—most importantly—human. Fast forward to today, and the landscape feels… different.

Now, it’s less about crafting a narrative and more about feeding the algorithm. The question is:
Do people actually care about the art of blog writing anymore, or is it just about staying relevant?

MVP Blogs: Expertise or Echo Chamber?

Let’s talk MVPs (Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals). Their status is undeniably important; these are experts who live and breathe tech. But when it comes to blogging, are we seeing deep insights that challenge the status quo, or are we drowning in posts that rehash what’s already on Microsoft Learn?

I’m not criticising the MVP program after all it’s a cornerstone of community knowledge. But the blogosphere? Sometimes it feels like a noisy room where everyone’s shouting the same thing:
“Here’s how to enable feature X!”
“Top 10 tips for Y!”

Valuable? Sure. Original? Not always.

AI: Friend or Foe of Creativity?

Here’s the paradox: AI is brilliant. It accelerates content creation, democratises knowledge, and helps us communicate faster. But....and it’s a big but....it also risks stripping away the human art of thought.

Blogging used to be about perspective, voice, and storytelling. Now, with AI, it’s dangerously easy to churn out polished paragraphs without ever wrestling with an idea. Creativity thrives on friction, and AI smooths out the bumps.

So, is AI killing creativity? Not exactly. It’s changing the game. The challenge now is to inject humanity into AI-assisted writing to make sure your voice doesn’t get lost in the machine.

Cutting Through the Noise

If you have something truly valuable, something that challenges the status quo, how do you make it heard?

• Lead with opinion, not repetition. Don’t just explain features; explain why they matter and what everyone’s missing.

• Tell a story. Humans connect with narratives, not bullet points.

• Be bold. If your idea shakes the tree, shake it harder.

The truth? Original thought will always stand out. But you have to fight for it.

Final Thought (and a Witty Twist)

This blog was written entirely by AI.

Yep, every word. Which proves my point:
The art of blogging isn’t dead....it’s just evolving.

The question is, will we evolve with it, or let the machines do all the thinking?
