Is AI gonna kill off wellness influencers or make them even richer? Noticing weird trends...

My cousin runs a 7-figure wellness brand. Says they've been secretly using AI since January to write their inspirational quotes, blog posts, even personalized coaching templates. Revenue up 40%, customer satisfaction scores unchanged. The uncomfortable truth nobody in the industry wants to admit: most clients can't tell the difference, and many actually prefer the consistency of AI-generated advice

There's something deeply ironic about an industry built on "authentic living" now debating how to authentically use artificial intelligence lol. The wellness space has always walked this tightrope between genuine healing traditions and commercialized self-help. AI just makes the contradiction more obvious. Maybe this is the reality check the industry needed?

What everyone's missing: AI is collapsing the middle. The generic "drink water and think positive thoughts" creators are TOAST - why follow a human posting bland content when AI can generate infinite variations? But practitioners offering genuine insight, lived experience, or specialized knowledge become more valuable. Mediocrity dies, excellence thrives

I work for a mental health app that just integrated AI chat. Usage stats telling fascinating story - people actually disclose MORE vulnerable information to the AI than human coaches, especially around shame-triggering topics. Many users report feeling "less judged" by AI. Raises profound questions about what people really want from wellness guidance

Been a yoga teacher for 9 years. Started using AI to create class sequences and descriptions. Honestly? It's liberating. I used to spend hours writing content that very few people read carefully anyway. Now that administrative burden is handled, I can focus entirely on actual teaching and connecting with students in real time. My classes have never been better

The algorithm problem nobody's talking about: AI trained on existing wellness content will just amplify what's already popular, not what's most effective. Imagine all nutrition advice skewing toward whatever got the most engagement online, not what's scientifically sound. We're building a reinforcement loop of whatever performed well on instagram, not what actually helps people

Y'all are missing the bigger crisis here... wellness content already operates on thin evidence with little accountability. At least humans can be questioned about their sources. AI systems confidently presenting dubious health claims with fake-but-realistic-sounding "studies" is TERRIFYING. Imagine wellnesstok but with even LESS connection to scientific reality

Wait until you see what's happening in spiritual guidance. My friend paid $50/month for "personalized spiritual messages" from a famous intuitive, only to discover it was entirely AI-generated from templates. The wild part? When she found out and they offered refund, she DECLINED saying "the guidance was still meaningful regardless of source." Consumer psychology is fascinating

What we're witnessing is a textual Uncanny Valley effect where AI wellness content feels "almost human but not quite" - creating subtle discomfort for some while being completely undetectable to others. The research suggests individual differences in sensitivity to authenticity cues may determine consumer reactions in this market

AI is exposing that most ppl never actually wanted "authentic wellness wisdom" - they wanted confirmation of what they already believed packaged in aesthetically pleasing way. if ur following wellness influencers for actual health outcomes ur already lost. it's entertainment industrial complex wearing lululemon instead of hollywood outfits

accidentally found out my wellness coaching certification program now using AI to grade our "personal reflection" assignments 💀 submitted complete nonsense with buzzwords sprinkled in, got "deeply thoughtful reflection, shows personal growth" feedback. entire industry is snake oil factory

I did experiment. Showed boyfriend two morning routine videos - one from famous wellness girlboss, one completely AI generated with stock footage. Asked which felt "more authentic" - HE PICKED THE AI ONE!! When i told him he got defensive like "well that one seemed more realistic and less about selling products" which is actually interesting point about why we even seek out these wellness personalities??

Good wellness was never about new info anyway. Eat plants, move daily, sleep enough - we've known this forever. AI can write the perfect plan but won't check on you at 6am when you wanna skip the gym. Humans still needed for the accountability part. That's why most people fail with apps but succeed with coaches/groups
