AI Web Traffic to Exceed Humans by 2027, and Rogue AI Agents

**Jaden Schafer** (0:00)
Welcome to the podcast, I'm your host, Jaden Schafer. Today on the show, we're talking about Sam Altman's most recent tweet, where he's basically getting trolled by a lot of people. He gave a thank you tweet to all of the coders from the past. We're also talking about Meta, who is having trouble right now with rogue AI agents. And then of course, our big story today is that online bot traffic is expected to exceed human traffic by 2027, according to the CEO of Cloudflare. Meta has also decided they're gonna be rolling out a new AI content enforcement system. And they're also going to be reducing reliance on some of the third party vendors that they were previously using. And there's some obvious and not so obvious reasons for this. Also DoorDash is launching a new quote unquote task app that's basically gonna pay couriers to submit videos to train AI. So all of that on the show today, before we get into it, I wanted to mention AI Box, my startup has just launched video on our platform. So in the past, you've probably heard me talk about how you can chat with over 70 different AI models. You know, you get everything from Anthropic to ChatGBT to Gemini to Claude to Grok to all of the different chat models. And you also had image and audio models. We've now just added video models on the platform. So if you want to try out a whole bunch of really cool video models from Google and a number of other different firms, you can generate those. It's only $8.99 a month. You get access to over 70 of the top AI models and you can go and build automations, tools and workflows with them that you can save or post on our marketplace. So if that sounds interesting to you, go check out a link in the description. It's less than a ChatGPT subscription and you get 70 different AI models there. So it's hopefully something that will save you a ton of money. It's something that I've poured a lot of blood, sweat and tears into and it is one of my personal favorite tools to use. I know I'm obviously biased on that, but I try to make it useful for me, so I hope it's super useful for you. All right, let's get into the episode today. So the first story I want to cover is DoorDash. They've just launched a new Tasks app. It's going to pay workers to collect data for AI. So what exactly what they're looking for is real world training data. So they're going to be filming everyday tasks. They're going to be recording speech. They're going to be capturing different environments. So they're going to be out there filming with their camera. And all of this, they will send over to basically these AI systems that are going to train for robotics. Now this is really interesting, right? Like imagine just getting a ping on your phone and it's like, hey, go and film a video of walking around a car pointing at all four tires, or go outside and film a video of a sidewalk or a business that looks like XYZ, or drive to this location and film.
It's just so fascinating that we're going from, you know, we used to run around DoorDash delivering food for people to all of a sudden we're like filming specific things to build out data sets. And I'm assuming for them, right? They're like, hey, we need a data set of people walking past stop signs or a data set of people picking up sticks. I don't really know, right? Like all these different tasks or things or a data set of people walking inside of the Walmart or picking up a shopping car and pushing it, right? And these are all video that robots are going to be used to train. So I think this is really interesting. It's kind of, you know, I think a lot of people talk about the fact that they're like, oh, build an AI tool based off of the data that you have. And if you have like unique data, it's a moat. But I think we're getting to a place where all of the data is already been grabbed or sold or in one way license. And now we're literally paying people to create new data sets. This is such a fascinating new economy. And I think when you talk about AI and new industries that are going to come out of it, this is one that not a lot of people predicted. But it's literally creating content just for the sake of AI models. And to be fair, I've actually been offered multi, you know, like $10,000 deals to license my podcast content, for example. And they're like, look, we won't clone your voice, but we just need it for like training data. And people have offered me like a lot of money for that kind of thing. So I think that there's going to be more and more of this. And it is just fascinating time to be alive.
