Question:

If Google is already smacking down on AI produced content, how likely do you think they'll smack down sites with AI produced text-to-speech produced audio? Would hate to shell out for Murf.ai et al only to have it get the site penalised.

Also AI inference not being free is technically true, but remember neither is Googling something. Both have infrastructure / bandwidth costs etc, it's just that AI is about 10x more right now. That will change unbelievably quickly though. Costs to train NN reduces by 100x every ~2 years. By 2025 AI will be right near 100% of the time AND likely be cheaper than traditional Googling infra costs. AI also has the added benefit that it can be done on device, which means those infra costs get born by the user reducing costs even more. This requires the AI model to be sufficiently small and streamlined enough but again, just wait 1-2 years and the pace of advancement does that for you. Fun times ahead, Google 100% needs more competition.

Do legitimate links from exchanging with another site devalue the power of that link?
