Will AI break the internet?

AI is flooding the internet with content, which means the internet and marketing as we know it are changing.

From low-quality spam to near-perfect imitations of human writing, AI's impact is undeniable and unstoppable.

In this episode, I explore how things are changing and what this means for marketing. Here are the key points:

AI Content Surge: Platforms like Google, Meta, TikTok, and X thrive on user-generated content. But now, AI is challenging their business models by producing vast amounts of content, which they struggle to distinguish from human work.

Advertising Disruption: Businesses rely on placing ads within content and search results. The rise of AI content complicates this, as search engines send less traffic to websites.

Quality Decline: The sheer volume of AI-generated content dilutes the quality of information online. Platforms are struggling to maintain the engaging, high-quality experience users expect.

Outpacing Humans: As AI improves, it will mimic and copy human content faster than humans can keep up with, potentially stifling creativity and originality.

Human Creativity Shines: Amid the flood of AI content, genuine human creativity and originality stand out. Unique, authentic content will always have a special place and be one step ahead of AI.
