# Substack’s AI Content: A Byte-Sized Phenomenon

It seems the robots have taken to typing—well, at least about 10% of them have! A recent analysis revealed that a notable chunk of Substack’s top newsletters is getting a little help from their silicon friends. Let’s dive into the nuts and bolts of this AI-assisted writing world.

## Key Points

– **Rise of the Robots**: Approximately 10% of the leading newsletters on Substack now feature content that is either generated or assisted by AI. So, if you thought your favorite writer’s style was a little robotic, you might be onto something!

– **Creative Co-Pilots**: These AI tools aren’t just mindless scribes; they’re acting as creative co-pilots. Perhaps the writers are putting the “art” in “artificial,” but the debate on whether they’re really adding value continues to buzz like a well-oiled algorithm.

– **A Shift in the Writing Landscape**: The number is rising, suggesting we might soon see AI vying for content awards—which, let’s be honest, sounds a bit bittersweet. What will we do when our favorite prose won’t even be human?

As part of this experiment I would like to give credit where credit is due. If you enjoy these, please take a moment to read the original article:
