📍THE news that needs your attention
|
|
Actually… 2 pieces of news this week – that you may want to read together.
|
-
An article from the NYT displaying that the comedian Sarah Silverman has joined a class-action lawsuit against Open AI (and Meta) accusing the companies of training their A.I. models using her writing without her permission.
-
A post from Gizmodo spotted the recent update from Google on its privacy policy to disclose that its AI services (Bard, Cloud AI & others) may be trained on public data that the company has scraped from the web.
|
|
|
|
The short of it: Generative AI is going to be the center of the largest and longest ongoing copyright trial of the century. And it just getting started…
|
|
“Our privacy policy has long been transparent that Google uses publicly available information from the open web to train language models for services like Google Translate. This latest update simply clarifies that newer services like Bard are also included” says Christa Muldoon, Google’s spokesperson”.
|
|
(…)
|
|
This is an unusual clause for a privacy policy.
|
|
Typically, these policies describe ways that a business uses the information that you post on the company’s own services.
|
|
Here, it seems Google reserves the right to harvest and harness data posted on any part of the public web as if the whole internet is the company’s own AI playground.

🧠 What does that mean for us, humble humans?
|
-
AI-Generated Garbage Content. Whoever wins the Chat v/s Search war, the internet is becoming saturated by AI-generated content. What will happen when all the next generation of content will be fully made of AI-generated garbage content?
More and more content is scrapped to expand the level of content and data those bots are trained on. Just as an example, not later than this past week, Open AI partnered with Reuters to train ChatGPT on their data … (🔗 here).
|
-
Chat is slowly getting over Search. Open AI’s present and future competitors are flourishing: Google’s Bard updated last week, Perplexity.ai, now Anthropic’s Claude, and soon the French Mistral.ai. To name just a few “big ones”.
-
Copyrights lawsuits will multiply like hotcakes. But no matter their number and publicity, they won’t prevent the upcoming wave. And in any case, it will take a lot of time before these proceedings lead to effective regulations.
-
What should you focus on? Creating content to install your topical authority and become known (also) outside of Search engines or even ChatBots.
|
|
On your “content creation” TO-DO-LIST:
Focus on insights – not information. Google calls it information gain and even filled a patent on what they named “information gain score” (🔗 here) a concept discovered by Bill Slawski (🔗 here).
Consider content as a commodity so focus on content that will provide your audience with an experience - yours!
Focus your content creation efforts on 1 special type of content that AI can’t compete with you on – at least for now - And just keep reading this to know which one it is 😉.

🎯 THE insight from Linkedin
|
|
This video from Rand Fishkin.
|
|
|
|
The short of it: “This is what tons of marketers will need to do: associate their brand with topics and concepts all across the web so that the LLM pick them up and so Search Results include them”.

What does that mean for us, humble humans?
|
|
AI-Generated content is not AI-assisted content.
|
-
AI-generated content will kill “Search Content”: Some types of content will soon not be worth the effort anymore: listicles, ranking, how-to content, etc. Those are easy content for AI to reproduce. Will Wikipedia still exist in a few years…?
-
AI-assisted content can help you create better-quality content: Quality content is your differentiating factor.
-
Topical authority should be your obsession! Forget topical authority for SERPs. Create content to build topical authority on your niche to become known and build trust under your name/your brand’s name.
-
Focus on thought-leadership content.

Topic: Thought leadership content
|
🤗 The 1 tactic (from me):
|
|
What are the main features of thought leadership content? It’s a type of content that showcases your unique expertise and perspective through the following elements:
|
-
Your creativity/ideas (your brain),
-
Your story (owned lived experience),
-
Your personal assumptions, and opinions (analyses the status quo and challenges it in your own way),
-
Your network (adding expert quotes within your content),
|
|
1 type of content cumulates all those advantages: Original Research Content focused on market research.
