AI search is reshaping where the best writing lives and who readers can trust.

Rachel Wells speaks with Tony Stubblebine, CEO of Medium, about how private publishing communities are gaining ground, why AI detectors cannot settle authorship, and why human curation is becoming indispensable.

The conversation is a must-listen for hobbyist writers, journalists, authors—indeed, anyone who directly or indirectly makes a living through publishing content online.
