Baker's choice. Dense with flavour, light on filler.
Summary
The article discusses the paradox of infinite AI-generated content in the digital age, where content creation costs have dropped to essentially zero, leading to an explosion of automated content. However, this abundance is causing a collapse of trust as people struggle to distinguish between human-created and AI-generated content. The author argues that while infinite content theoretically provides opportunities, the erosion of trust is happening faster than content proliferation, leading people to abandon digital channels entirely because they can't determine what's real anymore.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledFor the first time since, well, ever, the cost of creating content has dropped to essentially zero. Not 'cheaper than before', but like actually free.
It's so easy to generate a thousand blog posts or ten thousand 'personalized' emails and it barely costs you anything (for now).
But if you're trying to sell, trust is collapsing faster than content is proliferating.
We're abandoning digital channels entirely because we can't tell what's real anymore.
