OpenAI's ChatGPT is a Better BS-er Than Most Marketers
Have a read and have a laugh at how good the following marketing copy is. It was written in 1 second, each, by OpenAI's ChatGPT. It is convincing BS. But the lesson for marketers here is that most modern consumers see this kind of BS all day long. They also know they've been tricked by celebrities and influencers who were paid by marketers to appear to be fans of their products. (See the Gal Gadot example below).
I've sat through agency creative meetings where a roomful of folks agonize over words and emotions and connotations, all to rack up billable hours. Spend your time actually listening to customers and actually making your damn product or service better, not agonizing over creative copy which no consumers care about (or read) and which AI can auto-generate in 1 second.
See just how aromatic (pungent?) the BS is below, written by ChatGPT, following the prompt in bold.
The following are all written by #OpenAI ChatGPT based on the prompts in bold. The images are generated by Midjourney v5.

1 年Dear ChatGPT, is it single-origin or a blend? Please make up your mind. Also Kenyan coffee is famous for its high acidity. And balanced would be a very uncommon label for Kenyan coffee ("coffee lovers" appreciate the unbalanced but exciting flavour of Kenyan coffee). It is exactly as proposed: a big bag of BS that even an intern or someone on Upwork could outclass without trying too hard.?

1 年Augustine Fou thanks. I think these chat bots will do a great job at marketing copy and proposals which are low stakes uses and “helpers”. I am not a fan of these tools being used in high stakes situations like medical research or situations where originally and accuracy is vital. Thanks for sharing.
