The Takeaway

The research identifies a 'saturation threshold' where algorithms detect a decline in narrative variety and automatically deprioritize content. This means massive AI-driven marketing campaigns can become invisible almost instantly once they cross a specific volume limit.

From the abstract

This research identifies the 60% saturation threshold that triggers accelerated visibility decay in AI-generated content across digital discovery layers. By extending the Marketing Agent Decay Model (MAD-M™), the paper provides a predictive framework for managing Narrative Entropy™ and algorithmic deprioritization in generative search (GEO). This paper examines the systematic reduction in content visibility across major digital platforms when AI-generated content is detected or exhibits AI-chara
