AI Wrote This… Kind of.

The machine isn’t the messiah. It’s the mirror.

We’re watching the myth of the machine-author grow in real time.
Not because it’s true, but because it’s profitable.

The myth goes something like this:
Push a button and get a post that sounds just like you.
Outsource your voice to the void, and watch “content” appear.

That story isn’t true; it’s marketing.
It’s what AI evangelists, content gurus, and prophets on LinkedIn want you to believe.

Because if you buy the myth, you’ll also buy their products, their courses, and their shortcuts to infinite greatness.

But here’s the truth: AI doesn’t create.
It imitates.
And imitation without intent is meaningless.

The Ghost in the Prompt

They tell you that AI will do it for you.
But AI didn’t do the work. The prompt did.
And the prompt came from someone who already knew what they wanted —
or knew how to get there.

The inconvenient part:
Their prompt won’t work for you.
Because the magic wasn’t in the machine.
It was in the mind that fed it. And all the context, history, and perspectives inside that mind.

You can call it “AI copy.” But really, it’s just ghostwritten probability.
Just syllables looking for a sculptor.

You want AI to work for you? Then you have to work for it first.
You need to train it. Feed it. Break it.
Shape it.

Why Brands Love the Lie

The machine is seductive because it promises speed.
But speed without direction doesn’t make you faster.
It just makes you louder.

We’ll be the first to admit that most AI content is noise.
Slop.
Homogenized mediocritiy.
And then what? A thousand brands with the same synthetic voice.

The lie isn’t that AI can write.
The lie is that AI can replace the writer.

The Driver’s Seat

At The Lies Agency, we don’t fear the machine.
But we don’t give up the wheel.

We are the driver.
AI is the vehicle.
And if you confuse the two, you’re not just lost —
You’re being driven.

So yeah, AI wrote this…
Kind of.

But the cut, the angle —
that knife lodged in your ribs?

That was us.
