Their AI bot said that to change currencies on my invoices (from USD to Euro) is possible only if I unsubscribe and then resubscribe. I asked if this clears my chats and it said no. I trust nothing, lol.
Has anyone else done this? I'd love to know your experiences. Thanks.
Saw this bit in Podnews today.
"There has been a significant rise in downloads from web browsers again in April. Buzzsprout report 21.3% of their downloads came from web browsers in the month - up from 13% in March, and up from 8.7% year-on-year. Transistor, similarly, reports 21.4% of their downloads come from web browsers; up from 15.5% last month, and 5.7% a year ago. (AI scrapers often pretend they’re web browsers, which means that they’re difficult to block; and website owners everywhere are battling significant additional traffic)."
My browser downloads have been up the past few months. I figured that it was due to more Americans wanting to move abroad and/or because of the optimization clean up I'm doing.
And I know the answers to my own question of " How in the world do we know if more traction on our pods is from actual humans?" BUT I'm asking anyway. Because the old advice of doing a listener survey, getting comments from listeners and so on can also be done by AI bots. I mean, why in the world would anyone be doing that I don't know but I'm feeling a fundamental shift in distrust in any digital measurement.
With that in mind, my question is NOT " how do we know if there are humans listening or bots botting" but " what are you doing to humanize your podcast so that listeners know you're you and not AI?
Or are you a barefoot person?
I'm experimenting with different ones to see what's right. My slippers are definitely not!
