  2. AI content farms rake in Millions of Dollars in Revenue for Free - Google and ChatGPT

    AI content farms rake in Millions of Dollars in Revenue for Free - Google and ChatGPT

    In the tech-laden era we live in, artificial intelligence has grown to be more than just a powerful tool – it's an unstoppable phenomenon that's leaving its imprint on every facet of our lives. Yet, amid the riveting tales of AI-fueled possibilities, an unsettling new trend is emerging in the digital landscape. A recent report by NewsGuard, a company tracking misinformation, reveals a growing battalion of AI-generated content farms, exploiting the web's automated advertising model for profit, and unfortunately, finding substantial success. To give you a sense of scale, these low-grade AI content farms have inadvertently gained the backing of more than 141 global brands. While NewsGuard hasn't publicly shamed these brands by dropping names, it did share a general profile of their kind, including several notable banks and financial services, two massive consumer tech companies, and even a heavyweight digital platform based out of Silicon Valley. When dissecting the income stream of these AI-spawned webpages, programmatic advertising sits at the crux of it all, according to Lorenzo Arvanitis, an analyst at NewsGuard. Speaking to MIT Technology Review, Arvanitis noted how numerous Fortune 500 companies and prominent brands – all oblivious to the matter – are channeling their ad dollars into these sites. This revelation brings forth an unnerving reality – the parasitic leeching off the internet's value isn't just surviving; it's thriving on the riches it's extracting. What's contributing to this disconcerting state of affairs? A significant factor lies in the democratization of AI tools designed for consumer use. The startling ease with which one can kickstart a site, crammed with endless content, becomes apparent when you factor in AI programs like OpenAI's ChatGPT. These tools are a dream come true for those interested in mass text generation without a second thought for quality. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast.

  3. Elon Musk - "Full Self Driving Soon"

    Elon Musk - "Full Self Driving Soon"

    It was a crisp day in Paris, the city of light turned the stage for an electric revolution as Tesla CEO Elon Musk took the floor at the VivaTech conference. He stood against the backdrop of digital innovation and an audience eager for his next revelation. With a familiar air of optimism, Musk once again pushed the narrative of Tesla's imminent breakthrough into the realm of autonomy. "Although I've said this before, I think we will solve autonomy soon," Musk declared, words echoing around the room, drawing the world's attention to a decade-long endeavour that has long fascinated the electric vehicle industry and beyond. Indeed, Musk has time and again voiced Tesla's audacious mission in the realm of autonomy, catapulting the EV automaker's brand image to unprecedented heights. For the past decade, the mission of achieving a fully self-driving car has taken center stage in Tesla's vision, often leading Musk to assert confidently that the company is within touching distance of this groundbreaking feat. Central to this endeavour are Tesla's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) systems. They symbolize Tesla's technological prowess, however, they fall short of the Holy Grail of full autonomy. They are not there yet, where the driver can blissfully snooze while the vehicle maneuvers itself flawlessly through traffic. Tesla describes its FSD Beta as an "SAE Level 2 driver support feature," a far cry from the SAE Level 5 status that would mark true autonomy. Learn more about your ad choices.
