Traditional AI in marketing is like a calculator: good with numbers, but not very interesting. GenAI is more like doing magic: you can create amazing content, generate unique campaign ideas, and even design cool things, all tailored to each client. It makes it easy to create personalized ads that speak directly, chatbots that answer questions instantly, and products designed just for specific tastes. It's like having a marketing assistant working 24/7 to make a company's brand stand out and gain customers. Additionally, GenIA saves marketers time on boring tasks, leaving them free to focus on the big picture.
The primary distinction lies in GenAI's proficiency in crafting marketing strategies characterized by heightened dynamism and responsiveness. Its autonomous content creation and innovative idea generation foster creativity within marketing campaigns. Additionally, GenAI possesses the ability to dynamically adjust and refine strategies in real-time.
Traditional AI is like a master strategist who can make smart decisions within specific set of rules; .i.e. it is not inventing new ways to do things, but selects from the strategies it was programmed with. Used mainly to analyse data and make predictions. It is smart but not necessarily responsive. Ex: Siri, Alexa which can do a particular job but cannot create anything new.
Generative AI creates new data similar to its training data as they learn to identify underlying patterns in the data set based on probability distribution and when given a prompt, create similar patterns.
