AI News for Marketers:
Generative AI provided a life raft for many companies over the last few months, and investors fled to AI stocks like moth on a flame. But as Gary Marcus points out in his recent post, What if Generative AI turned out to be dud?, while the valuations have skyrocketed to historic highs, the revenue still isn’t there.
While there is still a disconnect between valuations and revenue, that’s not generative AI’s fault. ChatGPT was released less than a year ago, and we’re still in the early innings.
Takeaway: It’s healthy to throw a little water on the AI hype. It’s better for the future of AI and consumers if it’s not artificially driven by greedy valuations and hype cycles.
Tool: 101.school
Want to create a course but don’t have the time? 101.school allows you to create entire online courses using generative AI. Simply provide a prompt, approve the outline, and it will generate your course and content.
Tip: Testing vs Investing
Testing new ideas is required.
But this is not where the majority of your money should be spent.
Most money should be spent on ads that are already working.
And then a small part of it on testing new ads.
👉 Invest and double down on what’s working, then test.
