Week 5 - MKTG 3349 - AI Generated Images

 Over the years, fads have came and gone. Some were instantaneously dismissed as such, and accurately so. 3-D movies for example, were called out by many as something that will eventually die off. It did take a little longer than most would've expected, but eventually it did. TV manufacturers have essentially stopped selling them all together and even major studios have for the most part stopped making movies in 3-D format. There are some things that where cried out as fads when they were popular, but in the end, transcended beyond what most expected. The Beatles, back when they first got popular were looked at as an act that would eventually fade into obscurity, but then they went on to be the greatest band of all time. 

AI generated images are a fairly new technological phenomenon. Just about a year ago did they start to quietly creep into the attention of the public, and it didn't take long for everybody to know at least of its existence, many people having made some of their own AI generated images. This is truly one of the most fascinating directions art has gone in decades, arguably since Jackson Pollack splattered his way into the art world. Below are campaigns advertising an aquarium and a psychoactive substance dispensary. AI art has a way of just capturing the eyes of viewers, and I believe it can be expected AI art is not merely a fad, but something that will, for greater or smaller, be around for quiet sometime.

Week 7 - MKTG 3349 - AI Generated Writing Tools

 For about a year now, DALL E AI generated images have exploded in popularity on the internet, as for me personally, the first time AI has truly done what it was programmed to do efficiently enough to give credit to it. I personally was astonished at the results it came up with and now after having read Professor Kelsey's article, I am even more caught in the whirlwind of AI's growing prominence and popularity. One of the biggest surprises I took away from Professor Kelsey's article was how adamantly many large corporations are investing in AI, further proving as Professor Kelsey said that AI is quickly becoming for and more part of our everyday lives, is not only here to stay but will eventually become a more integrate part of all of our lives more than we can ever predict.  One thing that has shocked me so much with the break-neck emergence of AI is just how all encompassing it's already becoming, AI being capable of writing, image producing, and the list is only goin

Week 6 - MKTG 3349 - Social vs Search Engine Marketing

Image
 Google has been THE internet search engine since the 2000s. TikTok has only been around for a handful of years, but has already become a social media titan, bested only by YouTube. In its short time, it has come to be growing faster than even Facebook. That being said, the question arises, what is used more for when shopping for a product, which is used more? Google? TikTok? Amazon? I personally never have downloaded, nor ever will download TikTok (I'd like nothing to do with the cringe dancing Zoomers), but I did ask someone close who is much more contemporarily attuned in terms of social media. She gave me a very interesting answer. She said that when looking to discover or find out about a product she's in the market for, she turns to TikTok. When she wants to learn the details of that product found, she uses Google. And when she wants to loot at ratings for the product, she turns to Amazon, sort of a trifecta process.  In terms of what the future holds regarding product se
