In a way its ad-money mining via SEO/engineered content to get high page views/CPM. The issue with this comparison to crypto mining is that the surface area of low-quality content prevailing means their ad campaigns are likely going to be less effective because humans reading the low-quality content just aren't going to stay long enough and/or will avoid the content. I can imagine the ad companies shifting to other types of content like video, then the AI generated content doesn't bring ad-revenue.
- walnutclosefarm 4y agoI agree, the comparison is inexact, and I expect that advertisers will have to change strategies. My use of the word "indistinguishable" overstates the comparison. I should have said "not entirely unlike."
- mattbrewsbytes 4y agoOh I wasn't being pedantic about wordings. You are right on target that this is a computer automated revenue stream. Crypto miners have had to change strategies too I assume, buying bigger iron or whatever.
