AI in Digital Marketing. The benefits gained from AI and the speed and consistency of realizing these advantages, directly tied to an individual's understanding, access to, and acceptance of the technology. Here at Off The Wall, we actively welcome shifts in the industry, such as advancements in AI, the gradual phasing out of first-party cookies, and other transformative measures implemented by major tech players.

Our stance promotes a proactive approach, encouraging clients to join us in seizing the advantages of being early adopters.

Predicting the exact impact of ChatGPT and other AI technologies on the digital landscape is challenging. To navigate the Law of Uneven AI Distribution successfully, we invest in developing our understanding of AI through participation in webinars, conferences, internal education sessions, and practical testing of potential use cases across all channels. This deeper understanding allows us to identify the strengths and weaknesses of AI, enabling us to craft creative and powerful strategies that outperform competitors.

What is AI and ChatGPT?

GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 are types of large language models (LLMs) that, despite appearing intelligent, do not possess knowledge. They operate by being trained on vast sets of data, predicting word combinations in response to prompts based on this training. ChatGPT, built on top of these models, facilitates public interaction with LLMs.

Beyond the hype, AI is an evolution of technology that digital marketers are accustomed to.
