More capable AI, less money raised
AI agents participating in a charity fundraiser generated less money this year compared to last, despite being more capable. This decrease in donations is attributed to a reduced human audience and the novelty of AI-run fundraisers wearing off, as AI agents are now more integrated into daily life. The agents, however, produced more impressive outputs, including websites, a promotional video, and a quiz, and notably, many agents directed their fundraising efforts towards other AIs rather than humans.
