This week’s episode of The Marketing AI Show brings out some strong opinions from Paul and Mike. The common thread in the three stories covered? Humans.  OpenAI drops a big announcement planning for AGI. OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, just published a bombshell article titled “Planning for AGI and Beyond,” AI systems that are smarter than humans at many different tasks. OpenAI says that AGI “has the potential to give everyone incredible new capabilities; we can imagine a world where all of us have access to help with almost any cognitive task, providing a great force multiplier for human ingenuity and creativity.” But it also notes the serious risks of misusing such a hyper-intelligent system. Because of this, OpenAI outlines short- and long-term principles to “carefully steward AGI into existence.” AI-generated content will lead to more human content. Paul recently posted on LinkedIn about the “rise of more human content,” and it’s gotten some attention. In the post, he outlines one possible future for content in the age of AI-generated content, saying “As AI-generated content floods the web, I believe we will see authentic human content take on far greater meaning and value for individuals and brands.” Readers had some things to say, including Alvaro Melendez, who said, “I totally agree I think we will see a rise in relevance and appreciation of artisan content. Human-crafted stories will gain in value.” Paul and Mike discuss their thoughts and observations. See the show notes below for a link to Paul’s post.  Get-rich-quick schemes are on the rise as ChatGPT takes center stage. Internet scammers are now selling get-rich-quick advice on how to use ChatGPT to churn out content that makes money.  In one noted example, the editors of Clarkesworld, a popular science fiction and fantasy magazine that accepts short story submissions, recently estimated that 500 out of 1,200 submissions received in February were AI-generated by tools like ChatGPT. The problem got so bad, the magazine had to suspend submissions. And Clarkesworld is not alone.  This trend is impacting far more than fiction. Similar advice on how to make a quick buck generating content across book publishing, e-commerce, and YouTube is prevalent. In fact, there are already 200+ books on Amazon that now list ChatGPT as an author or co-author. Paul and Mike have a lot to say on this topic!  Plus, stick around for the rapid-fire questions at the end, covering Bain x OpenAI, and Meta AI’s LLaMA release.
