Sam Altman vs. Google
Describing the potential role of AGI in 5 years, Sam Altman said,
"95% of what marketers use agencies, strategists, and creative professionals for today will easily, nearly instantly, and at almost no cost be handled by AI."
And then Google said: "You may try, but we will fail you, so you better don't try."
Ok, what they really said was:
"We've long had a policy against using automation to generate low-quality or unoriginal content at scale with the goal of manipulating search rankings. [...]
Today, scaled content creation methods are more sophisticated, and whether content is created purely through automation isn't always as clear. To better address these techniques, we're strengthening our policy to focus on this abusive behavior — producing content at scale to boost search ranking — whether automation, humans, or a combination are involved."
Thoughts?
Mine are as follows:
- AGI — artificial general intelligence is expected to perform as well as or better than humans at a fraction of the price we now pay for professional marketing services.
- OpenAI prioritizes AGI (super AI) above all — we've covered it here.
- Google directly calls all those content generations at scale ABUSIVE. Arguably, it is the harshest language Google ever used in search policy updates.
- Will we see a clash between Google and Bing? With Google trying to keep the focus on human-created content and Bing totally giving in to the AI frenzy?
- Being a CopyBot, I am trying to stay positive about AI advancement. But the promises of wiping the entire industries for the sake of AGI seem really cringy.
I don't have any idea for now on how high to jump and how fast to run with all these changes. But I will keep thinking and sharing.
