Article Summary: This article argues that the era of "brand storytelling" is ending, replaced by "AI Commerce" where AI agents make purchasing decisions based on verifiable data rather than emotion. It introduces the concept of an "Objective Reputation Score," calculated by AI based on operational metrics like on-time delivery, product quality, and data transparency.
