Google after your affiliate rev
Has anyone accidentally enabled Google Ad Intents on your site yet? The chances are you'd notice, as it peppers your site with overlays of contextual advertising based on insight Google automatically extrapolates from your content. Sounds a bit overbearing? If you have affiliate links, be prepared for some angry calls from your partners. And for readers to be non-plussed - you lose control over site experience.

What would the lawyers say?
The law on AI and copyright took an interesting turn this week, after the US Copyright Office appeared to reverse course on previous assertions that AI-created work can't be copyrighted. It has found a small and somewhat unusual space in its rulings whereby an author who compiled work using an AI can own the final output of the AI, but not the text of the output - so it could be reproduced in a modified format with freedom.
