<p>According to Artemis, the AI sector saw a weighted average increase of 38% over the past month, outpacing its nearest rivals. Bridge tokens had a 38.3% rise, and memecoins rose 20.8%.<br><br>Of the larger AI projects with tokens, Bittensor (TAO) seems to be doing most of the heavy lifting, up 120% in 30 days. Other big-name projects didnt fare as well, including Arkham (ARKM), up 31%, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET), up 19% and Near Protocol (NEAR), up 22.2%.</p>

<p>Then again, the AI + Crypto tokens popular today are probably similar to those from a year ago, while holding most memecoins for a year is dangerous to your wealth.</p>
<p>Centralized exchange (77.8%) and Real World Asset (351.4%) sectors both outperformed memecoins despite talks of a memecoin supercycle, while Bitcoin made 40.6% and Ethereum made …. *cough* 3.8%.<br><br><strong><em>Also read:</em> <em><a href="https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/advanced-ai-system-already-self-aware-asi-alliance-founder-agi/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Advanced AI system is already self-aware ASI Alliance founder</a></em></strong></p>

<p>Until now, it seemed that the big problem was going to be telling AI fakes and misinformation from the truth, but two recent incidents suggest the bigger issue is getting anyone to care.<br><br>Some people dont seem that fussed if something is proven to be an AI-generated deepfake as long as it feels truthful to them.</p>

<p>Senator Mike Lee of Utah posted a picture of a <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/ai-girl-maga-hurricane-helene-1235125285/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">crying girl </a>in a lifejacket on a boat in floodwaters during Hurricane Helene, holding a bedraggled sad-looking dog. He wrote caption this photo opening the floodgate for his followers to vent their frustrations at the Biden Administrations failure to prevent floating crying girls and puppies.</p>
<p>Although Lee deleted the pic after users pointed out it was fake, Trump stan/groupie Laura Loomer has left her repost of the pic up, while Amy Kremer, the co-founder of Women For Trump, said it didnt matter where this photo came from as There are people going through much worse than what is shown in this pic. So Im leaving it.</p>
<p>On the other side of the political fence, BBC disinformation reporter Marianna Spring <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckg9k5dv1zdo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">visited</a> Pikesville, Maryland, to follow up on a “racist AI deepfake” scandal in January in which the local school principal had been apparently caught on tape making racist remarks.<br><br>The tape was quickly exposed as an AI deepfake by the Baltimore Banner, but many readers refused to believe the explanation, seeing it as a way to dodge accountability.</p>

<p><br>Even six months after the schools disgruntled gym teacher was charged over making the fake, many locals still seem to think the incident was real. Spring described her five-minute conversation with a local named Sharon who kept talking about the clip as if it was real, only to be gently reminded by her husband it was fake.<br><br>She admitted she did find out later it was AI-generated, Spring said. But she said she was still angry about it.</p>
<p>Spring says shes found time and time again that if AI fakes speak to some truth the viewer already believes, then they have trouble getting the first impression out of their heads.<br>Well, even if its not real, its what I think they think, Spring says of the thought process.&nbsp;</p>

But those signs will disappear as the tech improves, so platforms will need to address the problem now.</p>

<p>TikTok has officially launched its <a href="https://digiday.com/marketing/tiktok-joins-the-ai-driven-advertising-pack-to-compete-with-meta-for-ad-dollars/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Smart+</a> AI-powered ad buying and campaign management tools to compete with similar offerings from Googles Performance Max and Metas Advantage+.</p>
<p>TikTok hasnt been the most lucrative ad platform so far, raking in $22.32 billion a year compared to Metas $154 billion, and hopes the new platform will help change that. The new suite allows marketers to decide whether they want to create and optimize ads and placement or hand it over to the black box algorithm.</p>
<p>Inevitably, they’re going to hand it over to the algo because its even better at manipulating human behavior than advertising and marketing guys.</p>
<p>Advertisers optimizing for value with Smart+ web campaigns achieve a 53% improvement in return on ad spend on average [compared to without it], said Adolfo Fernandez, TikToks global head of product strategy.</p>
<p>Ray-Ban used the platform in beta, and its cost per acquisition fell by 50% and conversion rates jumped 47%. Overall, the sunglasses manufacturer saw a 42% increase in return on investment.</p>

<p>Googles AI Overview feature shows users little snippets of AI-generated answers to questions. On debut, it was roundly criticized for telling people to eat rocks or how to get cheese to stick to pizza with glue but it appears to have improved.</p>
<p>But the decades-long drive to make Google search ever worse with sponsored ads and SEO spam results means the company is now placing ads alongside AI overviews.<br><br>Search for How to get grass stains out of jeans, and the AI will give you some tips, including using a stain remover. Then, there will be a helpful <a href="https://blog.google/products/ads-commerce/google-lens-ai-overviews-ads-marketers/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tide Pen</a> stain remover ad.<br><br>Although Google is making money from these ads, it wont be sharing any revenue with the publications and websites the AI scraped the answers from, the search giant <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-03/google-begins-wide-rollout-of-ads-in-ai-overview-search-results" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">told</a> Bloomberg.</p>
<p>Googles share of the $300 billion annual search advertising market is forecast to drop below 50% next year, with rivals like Amazon growing twice as fast and expected to take 22.3% of the market this year.<br><br>AI search startup Perplexity has been praised for the superior quality of its results, but it plans to introduce ads later this month rather than relying solely on subscriptions.</p>
<p>This space has been ripe for a shake-up for a long period of time, Brendan Alberts, head of search and commerce at the ad-buying firm Dentsu, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/online-ad-market-google-tiktok-9599d7e8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">told</a> The Wall Street Journal.</p>
<p>Almost half of queries to Perplexity lead to follow-up questions, and the platform will allow brands to sponsor the answers, which will be approved ahead of time and can be locked, giving you comfort in how your brand will be portrayed in an answer.</p>
