Are AI Recommendations Becoming the New Word of Mouth?
People used to rely heavily on reviews, influencers, and search engines before making decisions online. Lately, I’ve noticed more users asking AI tools questions like “What’s the best software for small businesses?” or “Which service is most reliable?” That kind of behavior could completely reshape how brands earn trust online. Instead of competing only for clicks, businesses may eventually compete for mentions inside AI-generated conversations. It’s interesting to watch this transition happen in real time.
