How to Win in a Future with 100 Billion AI Influencers

A 100,000,000,000 people that are pretty and charismatic are about to join social media. Unlike you, they are not real but like you, they will seem real 100% real. So what are you doing right now to prepare to compete with 100,000,000,000? There's 8,000,000,000 people on earth. What are you doing right now to prepare for 100,000,000,000 influencers joining the ecosystem? This is the Gary Vee audio experience. Let me give an example of things that you could be doing.

And for example, I think that AI influencers are about to explode. I also know that when I say that a lot of people here do not want that to happen because that would take money away from you.

So you either realize wait a minute, I'm lucky enough that I have a platform right now and I'm gonna make up an AI boyfriend, I'm gonna create an AI dog and I'm gonna monetize that or you're gonna let somebody else do it. Most of you will sit and hope and pray that AI influencer doesn't happen. Most of you will sit around and talk dumb shit like AI influencers are bad because it's not authentic while you peddle shit that you don't even like. So I think a lot about that.
