Meet Your New Content Colleague: AI

There’s a good chance that the next pro hired on in your marketing department could be AI, according to Brooke Gocklin.

Gocklin is a senior manager at Persado, an AI-generated writing service provider.

Observes Gocklin: “Machines are not human — they’ll never be able to provide the same value.

“But AI is able to work alongside us to generate better results, especially when it comes to repetitive and mundane tasks — like writing A/B test copy variations and surfacing the results back to leaders fast enough to take action.”

Persado — which started as an AI writing firm specializing in auto-generating personalized subject headlines for marketing emails — stunned many copywriters back in 2019 by inking a five-year deal with Chase.

Under the agreement, Chase brought Persado onboard to auto-generate slogans and other ad copy for its credit card and mortgage businesses.

*Norway Publisher Scores Big With Automated Business News: Regional news outlet Bergens Tidende says automated business stories have been a big hit with its readers.

The hyper-local content attracted two million new page views for the news outlet, July-to-December 2021.

Bergens Tidende uses AI-generated writing from United Robots to auto-convert company annual reports into short news summaries.

Says Jan Stian, project lead, Bergens Tidende: “The business bot imitates the whole spectrum of journalism.

“And on top of that is hyper-local — as well as niche.

“Hyper-local, because you can read about the corner shop or the favorite restaurant in your street.

“Niche, because it sheds light on entire local industries.”

*The Case for the Human Writer: Wordsmith Saffron Clacy doubts AI will ever be able to replace the human writer.

Humans will always be better at authenticity, editing, client communications and SEO, according to Clacy.

Observes Clacy: “As useful as it may seem to get content published as quickly as possible onto your Web site, an AI can’t incorporate anecdotes or put something together with human emotion — which is what copywriting is about.”

There are many who disagree, of course.

And they believe it’s only a matter of time before AI writing prowess exceeds — or even bests — the most talented of writers.

Dubbed Primer Command, the tool is designed to enable organizations to monitor, analyze and respond to rapidly unfolding events in real-time.

Observes Sean Gourley, CEO, Primer: “We started Primer to put the best machine learning tools in the world into the hands of the very people who are required to make decisions to protect communities, civil liberties, critical assets and infrastructure, and our way of life.

“What we deliver to them makes a difference — and the timeline to deliver has never been more urgent.

“Today, we’re making Primer Command generally available to a much wider audience of public and private sector organizations.”

*Phrasee to Offer Real-Time Language Generation: Phrasee says a new feature of its AI writing tool enables users to auto-generate messages in response to customer sentiment.

*AI Big Picture: Demystifying AI: While it’s tempting to categorize artificial intelligence as ‘black magic box’ wizardry, David Teich implores us to dispense with the gee-whiz.

This is especially important when thinking about neural networks — the tech behind a great deal of AI writing — he says.

Observes Teich: “It’s the complexity of neural networks that seems to confuse people.

“The many layers and the nodes in each layer makes explanations difficult — especially since many coders don’t want to explain what they’ve done.”
