I don't understand how companies that use fully automated AI to churn out content can survive long term. Why wouldn't I just go straight to the AI to get what I want?
Also, I see an opportunity for publishing brands to set themselves apart from AI generated stuff and charge a premium for that. There might be fewer of them in the future (e.g. I don't mind reading auto-generated celebrity profiles) but I predict the New Yorker and The Atlantic will exist a decade from now.
- sorokod 3y agoThey can't but that is still in the future. In the now they can't afford not to.
- zwieback 3y agoYou mean in the now content mills can't afford not to crank out clickbait with AI? That would reinforce my general belief that we've been in a transition state these past few years with the reinvention of old business models in the near future. We've already reinvented cable TV and newspaper subscriptions.
- sorokod 3y agoYes, ckickbait or any other content fit for mass consumption. Not that different from multiple franchises of the same junk food brand that are located next to each other.
- boxed 3y agoThe customers don't know they are getting AI crapware. And these "publishers" make a little money on each book. It's the same as all the other book scams on Amazon that has existed for years.
- freehorse 3y agoThe specific one is just AI-powered scam, aka take the money and run. Scamming is probably the industry more profiting from the AI right now.
