This video is more about an idea than a person, so I’ve titled it this way.
AI has allowed many of us to eliminate time-consuming or annoying tasks in our lives, but there is a whole group of people who are going to try to make a quick buck (I mean, of course there is). And as usual, it’s not probably going to work.
AI is great for things like erasing a wire out of a photo, rewriting an email about an awkward meeting, or getting rid of the times you said ‘um’ in a video, but it certainly can’t come close to doing my entire job… at least at this point (and in my opinion, not for a while, but I digress).
In terms of website traffic and AI, there are two things to know going into this:
a) Currently, it is estimated 50% of online traffic is bots (AKA not real people): https://www.paymentscardsandmobile.com/bad-bot-report-bots-now-50-of-all-internet-traffic/
b) AI has gotten blowback about giving people information without them clicking through to the website it is getting it from, hence decreasing traffic to websites from search engines: https://www.inc.com/will-swarts/googles-ai-search-pullback-carbon-sucking-tech-more.html
So, color me surprised to see a video from a year ago (at least I thought so – YouTube timestamps, as we know, are a bit lacking) about how AI is going to generate (real) traffic. Watch it with me! (If you want to get to the part where he actually starts talking about this, jump to the 1 hour 14 minute mark.)
