What happens when you and all your competitors adopt a “humans in the loop” methodology for your marketing and your product marketing?
Quotes from Robert Rose, Content Marketing Institute.
“Generative AI promised to relieve humans of the tedious, mechanical work — freeing them to be more strategic, more creative, more human.
“The reality? We’ve wrapped our rationalizations around this new concept called “humans in the loop.”
“This often means marketers are demoted to glorified spellcheckers and fact-checkers for machine output. Not creators. Not strategists. Just custodians of content they never had a hand in shaping.
Perhaps Rose’s thoughts are wishful thinking on the part of carbon-based marketers.
But if the “humans in the loop” thought persists…isn’t everyone using the same undifferentiated loop? When everyone yells “we use AI,” no one is differentiated. And no, it makes no difference with AI flavor of the week you’re using, since they all train on data. Human data.
And if the humans at all the companies are imprisoned by their identical loops…who has the competitive advantage? No one.
Except for those that use humans…especially humans who have been around for a while and remember this. If you don’t have a full five minutes, skip right to the three-minute mark.
