I've been considering starting a personal blog for some time now. However, with the recent advancements in AI, I've started to question whether it's worthwhile to undertake such a project in 2023. Despite my doubts, I've decided that the answer is yes, for the following reasons:
- Still Valuable: Unique content will always have its place. Even in an age of AI-generated content, there's an irreplaceable value in creative, original thoughts and ideas.
- Personal Corner: As social networks become more regulated and controlled, having your own space where you can freely express and share your thoughts becomes increasingly important and valuable.
- Continuous Learning: A blog isn't just a platform for sharing, it's also a tool for learning. The research and thought that go into blog posts foster a continuous learning process.
- Personal Brand: Despite the proliferation of social media influencers and AI-generated content, having a personal blog remains an excellent way to build and control your personal brand. It gives you the freedom to shape your online identity.
- Discipline: The commitment required in maintaining a blog, such as consistent writing, is a good way to develop personal discipline. It encourages regular self-reflection and can help foster a habit of critical thinking.
