Part 8/9:
Despite the optimism for new platforms and models, potential pitfalls loom. With the rise of powerful AI systems capable of generating content quickly, questions arise regarding the sustainability of smaller web platforms and creators who may no longer enjoy a steady stream of traffic. The concern here is that, in an era of AI dominance, creators are left with few avenues to monetize their work, disrupting the covenant that previously assured their traffic would lead to financial compensation.
At this juncture, it remains essential that creative communities and tech developers collaborate closely, ensuring that the incentives for creators are aligned with new economic models built around AI and blockchain technologies.
