The Rise of the Fakes (517)


Listen Later

Joe Pulizzi is back from London—and he's got a story that will change how you think about the future of creation.

After traveling overseas (yes, to watch the Browns lose again), Joe and his wife attended ABBA Voyage, a virtual concert where lifelike digital avatars of the legendary band perform with a live orchestra. The experience was so real, so emotional, that it sparked a powerful realization: the line between real and fake content has officially disappeared.

In this episode, Joe explores:

  • Why audiences no longer care whether content is created by humans or machines

  • How ABBA Voyage and new AI tools from Meta and OpenAI point to a future where creators can "live forever" through data and digital models

  • The profound opportunity this new world presents for independent creators

Joe argues that while AI-generated "fakes" are on the rise, nothing can replace a real human who takes ownership of their work, their audience, and their meaning.

This episode connects deeply to the message behind Burn the Playbook: In a world where everything is automated, authentic ownership is your unfair advantage.

Listen in and ask yourself: Would you rather connect with the reals… or are you ready to embrace the fakes?
