Happy Wednesday, fellow AI adventurers!
Welcome to another exciting edition of our weekly AI adventure.
We’ve sprinkled a dash of fun and a pinch of wit into our AI exploration, so prepare to be simultaneously educated and entertained.
Anti-AI Content is Going to Take Over
If you’ve been diving into the vast ocean of articles lately, chances are you’ve stumbled upon some masterpieces written by none other than our artificially intelligent counterparts. Yes, you heard that right, AI is churning out content like there’s no tomorrow! By 2026, up to a whopping 90% of online content could be generated by AI. Rest in pixels, dear human content creators (RIP).
But hold up, before we mourn the loss of human creativity, let’s ponder on a few important things. AI models are trained on good ol’ internet content. So, what happens when that content itself is AI-generated? Are we facing a catastrophic scenario known as “model collapse”?
Now, here’s a twist — there’s going to be a new kind of content on the rise, a rare species if you will: the “anti-AI” content. People will crave insights that only a human brain can conjure, personality that shines brighter than a supernova, and authority that rivals even the mightiest superheroes.
The good folks at Google even announced that they’ll be rewarding original, high-quality content amidst the swarms of low-value fluff. Hallelujah!
So, my friends, if you happen to be running a business in this AI-infested world, listen up! It’s time to roll up your sleeves and craft a distinctive brand that’ll make AI-generated content quiver in its digital boots.
First things first, put your name and face out there. Let the world know a real human is behind the content. Authenticity is the name of the game.
Next, don’t be afraid to voice your opinions and share captivating narratives. Humans are natural-born storytellers, and that’s something AI can’t mimic…yet.
Most importantly, deliver immense value to your target market. Go above and beyond to meet their needs and solve their problems. Be the hero they deserve!
Tiny Caribbean Island Becomes Hidden Gem of AI Wealth
Anguilla, a tiny island nestled in the Caribbean, where pristine beaches meet the azure ocean. This tropical gem has found itself at the forefront of the AI revolution, sitting on a treasure trove worth millions!
According to the Vince Cate, Anguilla already had .ai domain, the way US has .us, and UK .uk and India .in but registrations of sites ending with .ai have skyrocketed. In fact, they’ve effectively doubled in the past year, reaching a whopping 287,432!. This surge translates into a potential windfall of up to $30 million from domain-registration fees for 2023 alone.
Now, you might be wondering, “What sparked this explosion in .ai domains?” It all started when ChatGPT burst onto the scene. Suddenly, tech companies worldwide were in a frenzy, desperate to secure their piece of the AI pie. They scrambled to raise funds, and even acquire powerful chips. And guess what? Securing the perfect domain name became a key part of their smart branding strategy.
Vince Cate, who emigrated from the US to work on a groundbreaking cryptocurrency payment system, found himself at the epicenter of this virtual gold rush. As the manager of Anguilla’s .ai registrations, he observed a seismic shift in the industry’s landscape following ChatGPT’s public launch. Everything changed overnight, and this picturesque Caribbean island became a bustling hub for all things AI.
While the demand for .ai domains shot up dramatically from December to March, things have now leveled off. Sure, the number of .ai domains may be tiny compared to colossal giants like .com, which boasts a staggering 160 million registrations. However, for Anguilla, a mere speck on the map spanning a mere 35 square miles, this AI bonanza is a BIG deal.
Anguilla’s economy traditionally thrived on tourism, but the pandemic hit them hard. Thankfully, the surge in .ai registrations is giving them a much-needed economic boost. Add to that a well-planned increase in registration prices, and we’ve got a monetary windfall on our hands.
Now, let’s talk numbers. The price of a .ai domain can fluctuate like any other domain, but registrars like GoDaddy or NameCheap have to cough up a fixed price of $140 for a two-year .ai domain registration. And since Anguilla plays the role of their host, they receive a considerable chunk of that fee.
In 2021 alone, they managed to rake in $7.4 million from .ai domain registrations. They’d previously estimated around $8.3 million for 2023, but buckle up because Vince Cate now predicts revenues ranging from $25 million to $30 million this year!
