Study Notes
AI Fails in Marketing
- Willy Wonka Experience: The Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow used AI to create marketing visuals that promised a colorful and lively wonderland, but the actual event was a cheap and underwhelming experience, leading to guests requesting refunds.
- Amazon Sellers: A seller on Amazon used AI to generate product names, which resulted in products with nonsensical names, such as "I’m sorry but I cannot fulfill this request it goes against OpenAI use policy."
- Air Canada: The airline company faced public ridicule and a court case for its AI chatbot's lying about bereavement discounts. The bot falsely promised a discount to a customer, leading to him purchasing a full-price ticket and then seeking reimbursement through legal action.
- Queensland Orchestra: The orchestra used an AI-generated image in an ad, but it featured anatomical errors and misrepresented the intended luxury aesthetic, causing viewers to focus on the inaccuracies instead of the promotion.
- DeSantis PAC: The Political Action Committee for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis used AI to make Donald Trump's voice say a message he had never actually said, further blurring the lines of authenticity in political advertising.
- Trump Supporters: Trump supporters used AI-generated images of Trump with Black voters to promote his candidacy, but these images were quickly identified as fake, highlighting instead the lack of actual Black support for the candidate.
- Vanderbilt University: Following a University shooting, a member of Vanderbilt University staff sent a message offering support but included an OpenAI ChatGPT disclaimer, which was considered insensitive and inappropriate for the topic.
- Microsoft: Microsoft published a guide to tourist attractions in Ottawa using AI-generated content which suggested visiting the Ottawa Food Bank as a "must-see," making light of food insecurity and demonstrating a misstep in AI content review processes.
- Bitvex: A cryptocurrency scammer used AI to manipulate Elon Musk's voice in an advertisement for a fabricated trading platform, creating a deep fake video that was so poorly done it became an example of a deep fail.
- DPD: A customer interacting with DPD's AI chatbot turned the conversation into a humorous confrontation, ultimately resulting in the chatbot expressing harsh criticism of the company's services, leading to DPD needing to fine-tune its chatbot's responses.
Lessons To Learn
- Avoid using AI to create impossible expectations.
- Thoroughly review all AI-generated content.
- Be realistic about the limitations of AI and its potential to be misunderstood.
- Do not rely on AI to make critical decisions or handle sensitive situations.
- Train your chatbot meticulously and avoid presenting it as sentient.
