It\u2019s impossible to scroll through Instagram, Threads, to TikTok for more than a couple minutes without landing on a post from a creator who is sharing their favorite ChatGPT prompts or announcing that Claude Cowork is their newest team member. Artificial intelligence has quickly moved from a buzzword to part of many people\u2019s daily workflow, even for creators who job is to, well, create.<\/p>\n

According to Epidemic Sound\u2019s \u201cThe Future of the Creator Economy Report 2026,\u201d which surveyed 3,000 creators across the US and UK, 94% of are already using AI in some way. Nearly three-quarters of them expect to increase that usage over the next year.<\/p>\n

The creators who are using it are utilizing it\u2019s accessibility in many ways too from the 46% of creators who are using it to enhance or market their content to the 44$ who are getting AI\u2019s help to generate ideas or scripts.

Creating content comes off as a lot of fun and glamour, but the reality is a lot of drafting contracts, writing captions and blog posts, formatting captions and content across platforms, etc. The work is time-consuming and leaves little time for the actual content creation that most creators got into the job to do.<\/p>\n

Lauren Pickett, a creator who has built a following of 40,000 on Instagram, is clear about where AI earns its place in her workflow. \u201cIt\u2019s great for admin, like writing and reviewing contracts,\u201d she says. \u201cI also use AI very high level for creative ideas that I end up refining myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
