The future of content marketing after ChatGPT

When it comes to content marketing, there is clearly a period before ChatGPT and after it. One fateful November day in 2022, ChatGPT was launched, and the world of content marketing was shaken to the core. With its incredible ability to create any amount of text on any subject under the sun in practically no time, it upended the world of wordsmiths around the world at that time, and content marketers began to worry about their jobs.

​Things didn't quite pan out that way, with people eventually being able to distinguish seemingly brilliant AI created content from human created one and feeling shortchanged on account of it. They increasingly chose the former over the latter as it felt real, relatable and more human.

​That does not mean that AI-generated content isn’t useful. It is, but as a recognisable separate category of its own alongside human-generated content. AI can help one with research, generating ideas and helping structure human-created content, and where necessary generate the content, thereby making the content marketing process smoother, faster and much more efficient than before.

​Clients are fine with AI being used by human content creators to the extent that it makes them perform better. At the same time, they would like to have a disclosure on the part of the content creator with regard to the use of AI, as they would likely like to know how much of what they are paying is on account of human inputs.

​It is not surprising, therefore, that 40 percent of marketers use ChatGPT regularly. It helps them streamline their writing and  get the job done faster and better. No wonder content marketers these days consider prompt engineering a very important skill.

​

What's there not to like about ChatGPT and other generative AI platforms?

​

While ChatGPT is a great companion to the human content creator in helping them come up with topical, reasonably well researched and resonant content, it is not as if it doesn't come with its own set of pitfalls.

​For one, you are not sure about the provenance of the content it displays for your consumption. You cannot take what it provides you at face value every time it comes up with some information. Any references that it might cite need to be checked to ensure accuracy.

​Besides, the content that ChatGPT and other generative platforms often generate comes across as formulaic and repetitive. Machine-created content, which is not imbued with real human emotions which can only come from lived experience, does not connect with the target audience the way one would want it to. Human communication has to be both subtle and nuanced and not just expressive, and that often does not reflect in the text created by generative AI.

​

A partnership between generative AI and humans

​Just like handcrafted and bespoke products and services are valued more than mass produced cookie cutter like ones, honestly created real content based on a living person’s real-life experiences will always resonate with people much more. AI is good at managing the mundane aspects of content creation like pulling up stats, organizing text into bullet points, research, creating structure and carrying out grammar and spell checks. It is also great at repurposing content.

​But when it comes to originality of thought, critical thinking and strategic insight, human content creators have an inherent advantage over AI. This is also true in the case of storytelling. Even though AI can spin a brilliant yarn in practically no time, it is inevitably regurgitating other people’s style of writing. It could write like another Hemingway, but never be another Hemingway.

​

The Path Ahead

The future of content marketing after ChatGPT is in fact better than it would have been without it. The advent of aeroplanes did not kill off road and rail transport, but made the latter better. As a matter of fact, there is a resurgence in rail travel, which is seen as a cleaner alternative to air travel in these environmentally fraught times.

​Human content creation is evolving thanks to the advent of ChatGPT and other generative AI platforms, which makes content marketing perform way better than it ever has in the past, providing more bang for every buck spent on it.  

According to Harvard Business Review, premier management consulting firm McKinsey stated back in 2023 that LLMs and other types of generative AI would bring about a $4.4 trillion growth in corporate profits.Let’s see how things pan out on a macro level, but the future of content marketing is brighter and better than before- one should know how to be a part of it. Human-centric content and marketing are going to be at the forefront even as ChatGPT and other generative AI platforms play a vital supporting role.

Can you use AI to transform marketing?

With AI leaving or expected to leave its stamp on every business and profession known to mankind, is it possible that it would not leave its imprint on marketing? Can it empower marketing professionals to perform significantly better, helping them connect better with their prospects and thereby obtain superior results?

​

There’s a lot that AI can help marketing managers with. It can help launch whole marketing campaigns powered by deeper market and customer insights that engage and convert prospects at scale as well as with efficiency. AI can help with a whole host of things that range from running chat bots, implementing automation of tasks, and managing social media. Marketing professionals can turbo charge their output by using AI with tasks ranging from writing copy, understanding market data, and so much more in practically no time-something which took long hours in the past.

​

That AI is considered indispensable by more and more marketers is borne out by the 2024 State of Marketing AI report brought out by the Marketing AI Institute that has many marketers express their appreciation of the role AI plays in their daily workflows, going so far as to suggest that “they couldn’t live without AI.”

​

AI helps marketers collect data and analyse it so as to obtain very useful customer insights. Besides, it helps  speed critical decision-making. Leveraging cutting edge technologies like natural language processing as well as machine learning, marketers can deploy AI to generate content, enhance team productivity, as well as provide better customer experiences. McKinsey reports that AI adoption across the globe in 2024 had reached as high as 72%

Generative AI is a major driver of increased AI adoption.

Marketing departments around the world are increasingly using generative AI to create highly personalized marketing collateral, as well as using critical insights culled from customer data to progressively enhance and evolve existing marketing strategies. In light of the fact that marketing departments are in possession of vast amounts of data collected from multiple sources, it is in the best interests of most companies to use AI to fully leverage these in order to stay competitive in today’s digital age.

​

AI Helps Optimise ROI of Marketing

AI marketing tools empower marketers to zero in on the precise initiatives or actions required to reach out to one’s target audience in the most effective manner possible with the help of actionable insights obtained from an ongoing campaign in real time. What’s more, these can also help point out the right media to buy into, going to the extent of placing ads in the most impactful manner on the basis of insights received about customer behaviour. AI-backed marketing solutions are, therefore, quite outstanding when it comes to optimising the ROI of marketing campaigns.

​

Better Handle on Key Performance Indicators

Marketing campaigns these days are primarily digital, and are, therefore, able to generate huge amounts of data, which can best be managed and put to use with the help of AI. This allows marketers to identify precisely which tactics are resulting in the best performance and which ones need fine tuning or improvement.

​

Optimal Leveraging of Data Analytics

AI is great at letting businesses collect large amounts of relevant data, which can then help them derive very keen insights and  trends that would otherwise be almost impossible to discern. It can help them make much better campaign decisions on account of its superior analysis of data leading to better results.

​

Superior Customer Interaction

AI powered chatbots are revolutionising real time customer interface, helping resolve queries quickly and efficiently. These can provide personalised advice that makes the purchase experience a very pleasant and useful one for the prospects and customers in question. While these may not be able to replicate the warmth of a real human interaction, they do tend to help a much larger number of people get a quick resolution to their product or service related issues.

​

The Programmatic Advertising Push

The buying and selling of digital ads has been transformed thanks to the advent of AI powered programmatic advertising. It entails the algorithmic analysis of real time user activity, in order to be able to deliver ads to absolutely the most receptive prospects at the precisely right moment, thereby getting the maximum returns on the ad-spend.

​

AI in Marketing-the path ahead

​

The jury is divided about how effective will the use of AI in marketing really be in the time ahead. While the use of AI in marketing is catching up fast, it is by no means all pervasive with a lot many organisations not really hopping on to the AI- powered marketing band wagon. While AI is certainly helpful in enhancing productivity, there are those who worry about a corresponding decline in the quality of work, especially with regard to creative endeavours.

​

In light of the above it would be best to use AI to augment human effort in the realm of marketing and not undermine it. This ties in with the larger debate about the role of AI in human endeavours. Is it merely a disruptor viewing everything with a productivity driven lens or is it primed to help humans achieve more by becoming better at whatever they do?

​

Have you heard of Multimodal AI?

 

Image generated by Google's Gemini model.

While AI is the flavour of the times, there is so much happening in this universe that one is often left gasping for breath trying to make sense of the ever-new terms being bandied about. Generative AI has been the buzzword for quite some time now, and just when one sort of came to terms with what it possibly entailed, one hears of another one-Multimodal AI.

​

Multimodal AI comprises machine learning models that possess the ability to both process and integrate information from diverse or multiple types of data like text, images, audio, and  video. It is quite different from the old AI models that can usually only work with  a particular  type of data (largely text-to-text generation)), because it can deal with multiple types of data inputs, analysing them to achieve a much more broadbased understanding of the issue at hand. This enables it to come up with optimal outputs.

​

A multimodal model, for instance, could take a picture of Switzerland and come up with a text summary of everything important that one needs to learn about that place. This wasn't something that Generative AI models like ChatGPT could come up with when it was launched. All it could do was produce outputs in text when responding to inputs provided in the same way. The subsequent incorporation of multimodal made ChatGPT that much better at understanding and interpreting data.

​

Why are Multimodal GenAI models better?

Unlike the traditional unimodal model, the multimodal GenAI model functions in a manner similar to the human brain, because it can deal with sensory inputs from multiple sources, which it can then combine and analyse to obtain a comprehensive as well as nuanced understanding of actual facts. This allows multimodal Gen AI models to successfully deal with the most complex of tasks and come up with stellar results largely untainted by mistakes and glaring errors, as was often the case with unimodal AI. As more and more businesses make a move towards Multimodal AI, they will benefit from its ability to be used for a wider and more complex set of applications.

​

The Future with Multimodal AI

As we go along, Multimodal AI will greatly empower businesses to better respond to challenges that arise suddenly and out of the blue. Large-scale adoption of IoT will aid this process by providing large volumes of multimodal data to help it come up with bespoke solutions that speak to the customers’ exact needs. Given that multimodal generative AI models are able to process a range of multisensory inputs, these will be more amenable to use by even those with low or no technical skills allowing them to enhance their productivity manifold.

​

With Multimodal AI evolving all the time, the number of innovative uses it can be put to is changing on a daily basis. Going forward, it promises to completely reshape the paradigm of what can be achieved with its help. Multimodal AI has opened up a whole slew of opportunities for developing the next generation of applications that will fundamentally alter the way the world goes about the business of daily living and working.

Is AI overhyped?

There are those who love AI for its potential to transform the way work gets done efficiently and those who fear it on account of people losing their jobs because of its adoption across businesses and organizations. While the former set of people can't wait for the world to make unimagined progress owing to the magic that large-scale adoption of AI will create, the latter set of people see the rapid adoption of AI as an unmitigated disaster and calamity that will make human beings unemployable and largely redundant.

So, what is the truth? Is AI like any other revolutionary technology that initially threatens mankind and ultimately proves its immense usefulness and gets integrated into everyone's daily lives? Or is it likely to see mankind's takeover by intelligent machines that think autonomously and increasingly independently of human control?

The truth as is usually the case lies somewhere in between and is much more nuanced than simply being a question of whether AI is good or bad for mankind. Look around you and you will notice that in practical terms AI has had little or no impact on their daily lives, even in terms of their daily lives. You hear about AI taking over people's jobs all the time, but have you personally been threatened in that way, or do you know of someone who has?

Even those using AI productivity tools for work, do not really save all that much time, as one would imagine, given the hoopla surrounding AI. One of the most conspicuous AI tools that we are all familiar with is the Chatbot. Does anyone like interacting with one or feel that one's issues are being effectively redressed by them? What about the companies that use them? Do they really see superior service or an enhanced ROI on account of their deployment?

Undoubtedly, there has been massive investment in AI on the part of the leading tech companies of the world who are betting big on its future success. This also compels them to sell the tremendous virtues of AI to their clients and customers, even though it is far from clear how things will pan out in the time ahead. Businesses, organizations and indeed governments around the world have been caught up in this frenzy, promoting AI like there's no tomorrow. This does not seem to be a well-thought-out and calibrated strategy at all.

For all the investments that businesses around the world have made in AI, hoping to benefit from its enormous potential, there is little to show for it in terms of economic success.

According to Massachusetts Institute of Technology economist Daron Acemoglu, a lot of companies simply overinvest in Generative AI, only to regret it later, which is hardly the hallmark of a great economic impact going forward.[1] Given the hype surrounding AI, one would imagine that its transformative powers would stun all. But does it really? I find the invention of motorized transportation, aeroplanes and mobile phones far more revolutionary and transformative in a very apparent manner than all the song and dance they make about AI. What does it really achieve in practical terms? AI is fantastic at receiving inputs and eagerly coming out with results leveraging language models but you need more than that in the real world whose need for nuance and context might forever be beyond the pale of AI.

Why you should never use ChatGPT for writing

 

Photo by Matheus Bertelli: https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-using-laptop-wit-chat-gpt-16094040/

For all the noise about how wonderful ChatGPT is for relegating all your writing to it and the fact that businesses, individuals, researchers, students et al are doing just that, it is the dumbest thing one can resort to. For all that ChatGPT and other similar Generative AI tools do is to regurgitate past content and present it as new. The obvious danger in this is that these will soon enough start regurgitating, the mountainous amounts of AI-created content in cyberspace.

The best parallel that one can draw is with a primitive civilization that has been gifted with a machine that is able to bake cakes if fed with the right kind of ingredients, making the natives forget how to bake cakes themselves. Once the machine breaks down, they are unable to make cake anymore, as they have forgotten how to. For all those singing hosannas to ChatGPT, just wait a few years and the AI-created drivel will drive everybody nuts.

Generating content using AI crimps a person’s ability to think critically and, therefore, learn. Imagine, how harmful it is for students who more than anyone else need to be able to think critically so as to be able to understand concepts better. All that ChatGPT will teach them is to become prompting experts. That is a very limited use of the human brain’s muscles. Just because we possess automobile technology, have we forbidden our children from learning to walk?

No matter how good one might be at prompting Generative AI tools to create content for us, one is never totally confident of the accuracy of the output. This can wreak havoc when one is engaged in carrying out high-end academic research.  The very term Generative AI is a misnomer because intelligence denotes the presence of a brain, which is substituted by an aggregator and narrator of information gleaned from here and there.

Writing recalls, relates and shapes the lived human experience. It cannot be left to machines. They can only replicate and simulate what human thought might be. If tomorrow there is sentient AI, perhaps it will be able to write about its ‘lived’ experience, which will be uniquely its own! We won’t be able to do that very effectively for it, as we are not AI, but physical beings with a carbon-based body.

Creditable publications and increasingly many businesses deploying content marketing tactics are making it clear that ChatGPT-generated content is not kosher. It is liable to invite the wrath of the readers who take it to be human-created content and find out it is a machine without feelings or emotions that is fooling them with contrived content that is often plain wrong and ill-informed. Writing and the feelings it evokes are very personal things and just as it is inconceivable that one can marry a machine or a virtual being, it is ludicrous that ChatGPT should attempt to create literature.

Do Businesses Really Have to Invest in Generative AI?

 We have been told for a couple of years that Generative AI is the best thing to have happened to the world of business in a very long time. It is supposed to revolutionize everything from the development of all new R&D models and enhancing productivity to better customer experiences and the creation of whole new business models.

According to premier management consultancy company BCG, as many as 85% of business leaders plan to increase their company’s spending in AI and GenAI by a whopping 85% in 2024. Besides, 54% of them think that AI will deliver cost savings in the current year on account of productivity gains across operations, customer service, and IT.[1]

Is GenAI Really All That It is Touted to Be?

There are recent reports that suggest that way more may have been invested in GenAI for the kind of benefits that it currently provides to a business.

In particular, a Goldman Sachs report alludes to an interview with Daron Acemoglu, Institute Professor at MIT in which he expresses his reservation about AI having any major impact on the economy and has in fact forecasted that it will impact not even 5% of all tasks over the next decade.

As a matter of fact, he believes that AI will increase US productivity by a mere 0.5% and a GDP growth of a pedestrian 0.9% over the next 10 years.[2] So much for all the billions going into just GenAI over the last two years!

On the other hand, the PwC 2024 AI Jobs Barometer report will have us believe that financial services, IT, and professional services sectors boasting relatively higher AI exposure have witnessed 6 times faster productivity growth than those with low exposure to AI.[3] But one can, all the same, detect an element of disenchantment with the technology in terms of its ability to deliver and provide real practical value.

There is a feeling of belied potential in the sense that GenAI hasn’t really reached a stage of development where it can be used in an optimal fashion. There is a lot of hype and speculation surrounding bold new announcements every few months, which does not seem to lead to much in terms of achievement and accomplishment.

With time, as expectations become more realistic with regard to what can possibly be delivered, there may be a resurgence of interest yet again, but tempered with realism.

The Way Ahead

As AI scales and grows in volume, one will notice that there will be an increasing focus on factors like regulating and governing technology, ownership, safety, and risk. There need to be efforts made by organizations who adopt and promote GenAI to reach out to their employees who fear it’s coming. It is important that businesses don’t attempt to better their prospects, by damaging those of their workers.

The companies that are the leaders in GenAI adoption are doing that by involving their employees in deciding how their work and roles should be reshaped.

GenAI is too good a technology to not be taken seriously, but it cannot be adopted in a massive way without making it prove itself. The process of maturation of the technology is a work in progress and it would be an interesting space to watch. The coming years will show us if it will really take over the world or just be a flash in the pan, albeit a brilliant one.

Why brands and businesses are better served by human-written content than AI-generated content

 

The advent of Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini has seen brands and businesses worldwide turn to AI to create content.  The move seems logical as these seem to be able to create what appears to be extremely well-written content in moments, freeing marketing managers and business owners with the necessity of giving extensive briefs to their content writers, only to have them turn out content that often needs many iterations to finally reach a stage where it is ready for dissemination.

But are things really all that wonderful with using Generative AI to create content for businesses, or is this the entirely wrong way for a business to go about its business of creating content? According to Neil Patel, one of the foremost authorities on digital marketing in the world, human content performs better than AI content.[1] According to a study conducted by his team, human-generated content fared 5.44 times better in generating traffic than AI-generated content. It also found that every minute spent writing by humans received 4.10 visitors to 3.25 in the case of AI-generated content.  Patel attributed the superior performance of human-generated content on account of it being better with regard to emotion and context.

What is important to understand about writing great content is the fact that while Generative AI's ability to put across complex information in an easy-to-comprehend manner might be extraordinarily good, it is also important that it be done in the kind of language that resonates with the target audience in question. It is humans who are better at doing so, as unlike AI, they can truly know where their audience is coming from and contextualize the content for them. This is something that Generative AI struggles with as it is not adept at asking the right questions as it has lived experience and is totally bereft of emotional intelligence.

AI writing might be smart and efficient, but it lacks personality. It is more like the Nazi army’s blitzkrieg across Europe in the Second World War. Human writing on the other hand can be likened to Churchill’s, “We shall fight from the beaches--- speech.” We all know who finally won that epic war.

Why all this fuss about Generative AI?

 Everybody and their uncle has heard about Generative AI. Those who sleep under a rock haven’t. Of course, most people know it as ChatGPT and they haven't stopped yapping about it since its launch. Most of the chatter is about how Generative AI will take away people's jobs rather than how it will help business enterprises perform better. People employed in professions as diverse as writing, coding, law, and medical science have expressed fear that a bunch of technocrats and big corporations will replace workers with Generative AI and concentrate all the wealth in their hands at the expense of society as a whole. The Hollywood writers' strike is a classic example of this type of fear taking root and almost paralyzing people.

 

People are also afraid that algorithms fed with a bias can be used to influence public opinion by unscrupulous elements. Others fear that rogue or unscrupulous coders could cause grave danger to software, hardware, people, and enterprises- a step up from the regular cyber threats of the past. People and organizations would fear stolen identities as well as attempts to besmirch fair names and reputations.

Do we really need to fear Generative AI?

                 

If Generative AI is left unregulated and those that deploy it do so in a manner that does not benefit people- employees, and customers, there may be cause for fear. It is another matter, though that such short-sighted leveraging of Generative AI will eventually rebound on the organization concerned most negatively. That being stated, if it is not to be misused by would-be monopolists and oligarchs, rules and regulations and a proper structure to implement them must be put in place.

 

However, it is pertinent to note that there was widespread fear amongst people that rapid and widespread computerization would sound the death knell of jobs in sectors like retail, banking, and finance about a decade or so ago. In fact, Oxford University came out with a report that 47% of the total jobs in the US were at risk.[1] Yet, things didn’t pan out that way at all.

 

Generative AI will over the long run create a whole new set of jobs, that didn't exist before. AI trainers and operators, auditors for AI-generated work, original cutting-edge content creators, interpretation of content in terms of human sentiment, AI integration expert, AI compliance specialist and a slew of other all-new job descriptions.[2] While all of this is heartening, there will be quite a few challenges and risks that will arise in the short term, as Generative AI continues on its relentless march. 

 

To assuage the widespread fear that has accompanied the launch of Generative AI technology, it makes sense to spread awareness about Generative AI concerning the opportunities presented by it and the inherent risks it might carry amongst the people at large, organizations, and policymakers. Doing so will lead to well-thought-out and responsible deployment of the technology.

 

There must be total transparency and accountability about the algorithms being deployed so that users can pinpoint any biases that might have crept in. At the same time, the developers should ensure that the technology does not lend itself to misuse. The highest ethical standards need to be observed with regard to design and development. Care also should be taken when deploying a range of training datasets, so that the output obtained is fair, well-meaning, and good for society. This requires researchers, domain experts, policymakers, and ethicists to join hands to ensure that Generative AI becomes a tremendous agent of change, economic growth, and all-round well-being.

The Impact of AI on Content Marketing

Photo by Judit Peter: https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-writing-on-a-notebook-beside-macbook-1766604/

Content marketing is the process of creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly defined and identified target audience and ultimately drive profitable customer action. It  can take various forms, such as blog posts, ebooks, videos, podcasts, infographics, webinars, social media posts, and more. Content marketing is essential for businesses to build trust, credibility, and authority with their target audience, as well as to improve their search engine rankings, generate leads, and increase conversions.

However, content marketing is also challenging and time-consuming. It requires a lot of research, planning, writing, editing, designing, publishing, and promoting. Besides, it  calls for a lot of creativity and innovation to stand out from the competition and keep up with the changing needs and preferences of the audience. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) can help tremendously.

AI is the ability of machines or software to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as understanding language, recognizing images, learning from data, and making decisions. It has seen rapid advances rapidly in recent years, thanks to the availability of large amounts of data, powerful computing resources, and sophisticated algorithms.  Notable among the applications of AI is something that has been a lot in the news recently- generative AI. This is a remarkable technology that can produce new content based on existing data or inputs.

Generative AI has had a paradigm-redefining impact on content marketing. Let us check out how-

• Content generation: Generative AI can automatically generate content for various purposes  across multiple platforms. This can be in the shape of articles, headlines, captions, summaries, slogans, scripts, and more.  A prime example of this is Chat GPT-3, a large language model that is known to generate coherent and fluent text-based  content based on a given prompt or context. Generative AI can help save time and resources for content marketers who need to produce a large amount of content regularly in a major way.
• Content quality: Generative AI can also improve the quality of content by providing suggestions, feedback, corrections, and enhancements. For example, Grammarly is a writing assistant that uses AI to check grammar, spelling, punctuation, tone, clarity, and style. Generative AI can help content marketers create more accurate and informative content that meets the standards and expectations of their audience.
• Content variety: Generative AI can also create a variety of content types and formats based on the same data or input. For example, Lumen5 is a video creation platform that uses AI to transform text into engaging videos. Generative AI makes a difference, as it can help content marketers to create more diverse and interesting content that appeals to different segments of their audience.
• Content personalization: Generative AI can also customize content based on the preferences and behavior of individual users. For example, Netflix uses AI to recommend personalized content to its subscribers based on their viewing history and ratings. Generative AI can help content marketers to create more relevant and valuable content that increases user engagement and loyalty.

Generative AI is not in the least a replacement for human creativity and judgment. It is essentially nothing more than a tool that can augment and assist content marketers in their work. Content marketers still need to define their goals, strategies, audiences, messages, and metrics for their content marketing campaigns. They also need to monitor, evaluate, and optimize their content performance based on data and feedback.

Generative AI is changing the landscape of content marketing by offering new possibilities and opportunities for businesses and professionals. Content marketers who embrace generative AI can gain a competitive edge in the market by creating more effective and efficient content that delivers better results for their businesses and their customers. AI is an ally of human content marketers, not their competitor.
