I’m speaking of online data harvested through apps, websites, hardware (such as phones/streaming devices).
I mean if multiple versions of the same harvested data are being sold, wouldn’t the value decrease because of the competition? When it comes to aggregate data, how much financial value can there really be in knowing that a million office workers just clicked on the same cat meme?
How does the quantity of time and expense toward “personalization” not simply overshadow the return, given that no one can click on even a small percentage of those numerous ads, let alone buy the shit being advertised?
It just seems like there would come a time when the value of user data is sucked dry, or at least significantly decreased.
As AI generated word salads start polluting the Internet more and more, It will become kind of useless for training future AI models and advertising. It’s logical to think that confirmed human generated content would become more valuable perhaps… Check out the dead Internet theory
The cool part is that we’re definitely going to see people paying top dollar for certified human generated data, that happens to be generated by an AI that can beat Captcha better than humans can.
It’s a tiny bright spot in this mess, but I’m really looking forward to laughing at someone for it.
