  • Marketers adopt 'share of model' metric to track brand perception by AI like ChatGPT.

    As AI-powered chat programs like ChatGPT and others become prominent, marketers need to prepare for negative brand mentions in search queries. Tracking how large language models perceive brands and measuring "share of model" will become crucial. Marketers will need to optimize content to align with model preferences and establish metrics comparable to traditional marketing indicators.

  • Brands are strategizing to influence their perception within AI models like ChatGPT.

    As people are increasingly turning to LLMs to search for product information, companies are becoming more concerned about how these LLMs perceive their brand. While companies can’t change what the models already “know” about the brand, they can put out new content in hopes of ensuring positive associations of their brand names within AI language models. Right now, that exposure happens mainly when a model is trained using a huge compressed version of all the content on the internet.

  • An explanation of how ChatGPT predicts the next word to generate text.

    ChatGPT works by predicting the next most likely word. After ChatGPT receives text, it breaks down the text into tokens. These tokens are converted into numerical vectors that represent their meaning and relationships to other words. The vectors, called embeddings, are multiplied by a massive matrix of weights (parameters) that have been learned during the training process. The result of the multiplication is a probability distribution over possible next words. ChatGPT samples a word from this distribution to continue the text.

  • The “Rule of 3” framework for ChatGPT prompts helps distill topics into memorable, clear, and concise content.

    Distilling any topic into 3 things makes it more memorable, while also making the content clear and concise. First, reframe your topic into a question. Next, use abstraction laddering to anchor it to a bigger question that more people can relate to. Finally, put your topic into 3 lists: 3 reasons why your topic matters, 3 categories that will help target the audience, and 3 extra tips.

  • Apple partners with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into iOS, developing its own AI features and a chore robot.

    Apple and OpenAI have forged a partnership to integrate OpenAI's ChatGPT into iOS. The agreement will be a key focus of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference next week. The partnership is likely a short- to medium-term relationship for Apple, which is developing its own AI features. Apple is still in talks with Google about using Gemini in its devices. The company is also looking beyond chatbots - it is currently working on a mobile robot that can follow users around and handle chores on their behalf and AI features for its AirPods and cameras.

  • Apple differentiates its AI strategy by focusing on 'context' vs. 'world' models, suggesting a commoditization trend for LLMs.

    Apple is segmenting its AI approach, differentiating between 'context' and 'world' models, with the latter, such as ChatGPT, being used for open-ended queries but without personal context. OpenAI's position is not highly defensible, given the lack of moats in large language models (LLMs) and the rise of competing models. Apple's strategy suggests a commoditization trend for LLMs that leverages on-device capabilities and private cloud to provide AI features while viewing services like ChatGPT as interchangeable components.
