In this episode of Right About Now, host Ryan Alford and guest Chris Hansen explore the ramifications of the rise of AI and the concerns regarding critical copyright infringements. Legal battles are emerging as AI companies use content without proper citation, sparking debates over the ethical implications of repackaging original content without permission or credit. The recent release of GPT-4o, an advanced AI model that integrates text, vision, and audio processing, highlights the potential for AI tools to reshape and repurpose content, further complicating these issues.
Instagram has surprisingly surpassed TikTok in user acquisition for video content, becoming the preferred platform for businesses to invest their advertising dollars. While TikTok boasts a vast audience that businesses should not ignore, Instagram currently offers a more lucrative opportunity for ad spend.
Hims has introduced a new drug similar to Wegovy at a price 85% lower, signaling a trend in the telehealth industry. Other telehealth companies are likely to follow suit, offering discounted weight loss injections. The rapid growth of the telehealth industry is expanding access to affordable, on-demand care for more people.
