Listen now!It’s all a Volume GameKey takeaways:[07:35] "Commerce through content really evolved. Initially, it was just links in content." - Nilla Ali[17:00] "Creators are winning because the quality of their content is much higher than publishers." - Nilla Ali[27:30] "The benefit and pitfall of the Internet is everyone can see what's working, and they can replicate it easily." - Nilla Ali[36:30] "AI generated content will have a cliff where it stops being relevant." - Nilla AliAI has the potential to generate large volumes of content, but there's a risk of declining quality over time as AI-generated content relies on existing human-created content. For creators to sustain their businesses, they need diversified revenue models that include subscriptions, brand partnerships, and affiliate marketing, rather than relying solely on social media platforms.As AI becomes more prevalent in content creation, there is a need for regulation to ensure quality and prevent the spread of low-quality content. This could help maintain the integrity of media and content industries.Associated Links:Learn more about GAAN Creative and Nilla AliCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?
