Week 9 - YouTube Advertisements Are Revolutionizing the Online Marketing Industry

For many years, YouTube has been the top video sharing platform on the Internet. Each day millions upon millions of people tune in to their favorite content creators to share in a common experience. Whether it be a video game, makeup tutorial, or anything else that is uploaded onto the website, there is no argument that YouTube traffics most of the videos on the Internet. Because of the high amounts of traffic that YouTube generates each day, more and more businesses are buying advertisements to place on videos. These advertisements are made to be short and to the point. With YouTube implementing the "Skip-ad" function, it's imperative that the advertisement grabs the audiences' attention within the first five seconds or else it will just be skipped and the money paid to put on that advertisement would be considered a waste to the business. Although having an attention grabber is not anything new for advertisements, in a world where one is able to have the option whether or not to view the ad, it becomes exponentially more important than ever before.

Through my own experiences of viewing many YouTube advertisements, I can admit to watching a whole 30 second advertisement for something that did not previously interest me solely because the first few moments grabbed my attention. As a result of this, the power that YouTube has over the online marketing industry is immense.

Week 2 Blog 2 - Ethical and Privacy Concerns Regarding The Advancement of AI Technology

As AI gains more and more depth in both its systems and knowledgebase, it is beginning to become more and more clear that the information being processed by these systems contains sensitive information. If this information were to be obtained through AI and used for malicious purposes, it could spell disaster amongst the general public. The masses would be afraid of AI's capabilities to search vast arrays of databases to find sensitive information. As a result, it must be said that there needs to be some regulations into what AI can and cannot do in order to prevent such a causality. In my previous blogpost, entitled Similarities Between AI and The Internet I asked ChatGPT to list some similarities between the two.

I gave ChatGPT the following prompt "Go into further detail regarding Et...
