AI TOOL OF THE DAY
🤖 Adobe announces AI studio for marketers
Source: Adobe
Yesterday Adobe announced GenStudio, an AI platform that helps brands create content and measure its performance.
Key points:
GenStudio is an end-to-end solution that helps marketers tailor their content to different platforms and audiences.
Brands can set their guidelines to ensure that the system generates brand-safe content.
Users can upload existing assets (like product photos) to create new content with generative AI.
The platform also features integrated analytics that can measure and explain an ad’s performance.
Why it matters: Adobe has already made strides toward automated marketing with Express and Firefly, but this may be its biggest step forward yet. GenStudio promises to automate content creation without risking a PR disaster. We’ll circle back to this tool when it launches.
BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
📸 Study shows LLMs can outperform human persuasiveness
DALL-E 3
European researchers claim that large language models (LLMs) are more persuasive in face-to-face debates than humans.
The details:
The researchers tested four different debate situations: human vs. human, human vs. AI, human vs. human with personalization and human vs. personalized AI.
The personalized AI had access to basic background information about its opponents, such as gender, race, age, education and political affiliation.
GPT-4 with access to personal information increased participants’ agreement with opposing arguments by 81.7%.
Without personalization, GPT-4 still increased agreement by 21.3%.
Why it matters: This study is highly intriguing but equally concerning. LLMs clearly have the potential to influence public opinion and decision-making processes at scale, which raises important considerations for the regulation and development of future AI systems.
