Distribution is always the king. Of course distribution matters more than content writing but that doesn't mean that content writing would be dead, it still matters. I would focus on simplicity.

True, but strategy without execution speed is just planning. AI handles the drafts your job is the angle, the audience, and the channel. The writers winning right now use AI to move faster, not to think less.
