Marketers Blame AI For Feeling ‘Overwhelmed’ at Pace of Change

by Molly Innes

More than half (54%) of marketers believe AI will significantly impact how they work over the next year, according to LinkedIn data.  

While the core fundamentals of marketing aren’t susceptible to change, the function is developing rapidly. This means marketers have more on their plates at a time when things are already feeling pretty stretched.

AI and Human Writers Share Stylistic Fingerprints

A new tool can not only detect writing created by AI, it can predict which large language model created it, findings that could help identify school cheaters and the language programs favored by people spreading online disinformation.

"We're the first to show that AI-generated text shares the same features as human writing, and that this can be used to reliably detect it and attribute it to specific language models," said author Nicholas Andrews, a senior research scientist at Johns Hopkins' Human Language Technology Center of Excellence.

Train Your Brain to Work Creatively with Gen AI

by Brian Solis

When most people prompt generative AI, they do so within the paradigm of how they think about what could or should come next. For example, when searching Google, users may ask a question, search for the best Thai restaurant “near me,” or insert specific criteria based on filtered output, such as “best downhill mountain bike for intermediate riders.” That approach is often carried into prompting. The results build on a linear path of thinking, research, and decision-making based upon the world as we know it. However, where AI starts to “come alive” is when you create something unique — something that wouldn’t have been achieved without a human and machine collaboration. This requires challenging your own conventions around how you think GenAI should work, and also the outcomes you think are expected or possible. This article offers 12 exercises to help you expand the way you think about prompting GenAI. Leaders who foster these mindshifts within their teams will find themselves cultivating a culture where “the impossible” becomes a daily challenge — and achievement.

The World in Brief (Economist - 28/11/2024)

Ukraine’s electricity operator cut power to more than a million homes, many of them in the western region of Lviv, after Russia launched strikes on the country’s energy infrastructure. Ukraine said it had intercepted more than half of the nearly 200 drones and missiles launched by Russia. As winter approaches, the Kremlin has increased its attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

Israel said that its ceasefire with Hizbullah, which came into effect on Wednesday, was breached by “suspects” who had arrived in areas of southern Lebanon. The Israeli army said it had fired on them. The deal demands an end to offensive operations, giving Hizbullah and Israel 60 days to leave southern Lebanon. Meanwhile Lebanese media reported that Israel attacked Lebanese village.
