Ok, we gotta talk…

There’s been a lot of chatter lately about AI in the food blogging space—and not the good kind.

Fake food blogs. Faux personas. AI-generated recipe photos.

Honestly? It’s gross. It’s unethical. And yeah, it’s scary.

I totally get it.

Makes you want to just throw in the towel and binge Friends reruns instead. 🫠

But here’s how I see it…

There will always be obstacles in the way of growing a content marketing business.

If we let every Google algorithm update, Instagram drama or AI headline hijack our mindset, we’d stay stuck and never see growth.

(plus, let’s be honest, spammy tactics like this existed way before AI ever entered the chat.)

So what can you do?

👏🏼 Focus on what you can control.

Instead of spiraling over the negatives…

Let it be the ✨spark✨ that pushes you to build something better—more human, more intentional, more you.

Because AI isn’t the enemy here. Laziness is.

Real food bloggers (like you & I) can use AI to work faster, blog smarter, and stay consistent without cheating the system.

And that’s exactly what I’ll be unpacking in my new podcast series next week:

🎙️ The AFB Experiment: AI-Powered [Human-Led] Food Blogging

Let me be super clear...

This series isn’t about replacing food blogs with AI-generated trash.

Over the last few months, I’ve been experimenting with AI in my own biz—and honestly? I’m obsessed. 🤩

If you’ve been in my world since the early days, you know how much I love systems.

And this… it’s a whole new level.

In next week’s series, I’ll share what I’ve been quietly testing—and what I’m still figuring out—as a food blogger determined to use AI for good.

👉🏼 Got questions or low key fears about AI? Just reply to this email and I’ll cover them in the series.

The AFB Experiment drops June 11 on The Sassy Solopreneur.

Make sure you’re subscribed and have notifications turned on so you don’t miss it.

Hang in there—don’t let the noise drown out all the possibilities.

This space is still full of opportunity. You just have to decide to show up for it. 🫶🏼

See you next week!

xo,

Jamie
