Groundbreaking generative AI language models like GPT-4, Claude, and Bard are enabling AI content creation capabilities that will transform the field of content marketing into a new era. Marketers must remain competitive and stay ahead of this irreversible trend.
Just a few months ago, marketers were fascinated by - if not frightened by - ChatGPT's ability to automate simple writing tasks like drafting emails or editing social media posts. However, digital marketers were merely glimpsing what's possible.
These AI language models are rapidly evolving and enabling the mass production of unique, relevant and human-like blog posts, product descriptions, social media posts, and other digital content- addressing major content gaps that brands face in achieving their objectives. By training generative AI models on a brand's voice, tone, and previous assets, the output becomes coherent and mimics the brand's communication style over time. Eventually, these models may match or surpass the quality of an in-house copywriter for generic content.
For digital marketing, generative AI will enable ultra-personalized and on-demand content at scale. Marketers can feed customer demographics, behavior, and preferences into generative AI tools to receive thousands of customized content options - from ad banners to email copy. This level of personalization was previously impossible manually.
While generative AI will disrupt many roles, it has the potential to elevate humans by automating mundane tasks and freeing up time for strategic thinking and customer/client communications. In the future, every employee will act as a “manager”, supervising their AI assistants to deliver accurate, appealing content that enhances customer experiences and business impact.
AI-savvy talents will become valuable, requiring new skillset such as managing and training AI models, orchestrating multichannel campaigns, fact-checking content accuracy, and addressing AI bias issues. Marketers who harness AI tools effectively will see productivity gains that create opportunities - ensuring AI augments, not replaces, human talent in digital marketing.
In the meantime, marketers must remain vigilant to prevent bias from creeping into AI outputs and maintain governance over automated content. When properly implemented with human oversight, generative AI promises to supercharge marketers' efforts for greater business impact.
