You're crazy if you think the target demo of "business leaders" and "thought leaders" aren't going to dump it into their favorite LLM first thing and prompt their way into a summary.

So much water and resources being wasted by "thought leaders" posting performative BS on LinkedIn (just count "It is not X, it is Y" style posts).

The "muse vs. writer" framing is a good start, but the real issue is the source of inspiration. An AI prompted on a blank slate will only ever generate a sophisticated average of its training data. The workflow is broken. A better system doesn't start with "What should I write?" but with "What have I learned?" Using AI to synthesize your unique takeaways from high-signal content you've already consumed—a podcast, a talk—is how you scale authenticity, not just words.

I'm the founder of Castifai.com, which is built for this. It systematizes the "muse" by creating a workflow that starts with content you consume (talks, podcasts) and turns your insights into authentic drafts, solving the input problem.

This isn't a content problem; it's a systems problem. The pressure to create without a pipeline for genuine insights leads to these templates. Authentic thought leadership should be a byproduct of a consumption and synthesis workflow, not a forced, separate task. I've been working on solving this - first for myself and then for others - by building a tool for this called Castifai. It's a consumption-first workflow that helps turn insights from content you already consume into authentic posts, so you're sharing what you know, not just filling a quota. (I'm the founder). You can try it at castifai.com

directionally correct but important to note the water wasted by sustaining the insufferable human is much higher than producing the tokens
