AI Tools to Eliminate the Human Touch from Digital Marketing
March 9, 2022
For both better and worse, algorithms can help humans do many things. For example, it can now automate junk content. Oh goodie. Digital marketing blog Crunch Hype shares its “Top 9 Free AI Tools that Make your Life Easier.” The first is a tool that may be angling for my job. Writer Adil Ahmad tells us:
“First one on the list is copy.ai. It is an AI based copy writer tool. Basically what a copywriter tool does is, it gives you content that you can post on your blog or video when you give it a few descriptions about the topic you want content on.So copy ai can help you write instagram captions gives you blog idea, product descriptions, facebook content, startup ideas, viral ideas, a lot of things it can do, you just make an account in this website, then select a tool and fill in the necessary description and the AI will generate content on what you ask for. For tutorials go to their official Youtube channel .An awesome tool that is going to be really handy in the future.”
Thank goodness our dear leader Stephen E Arnold cares enough about quality content to employ actual people. For anyone who is curious, a quick search suggests Ahmad is also human. He also goes on to list several tools that clean up or augment images, including one he really likes but recognizes can be a bit disturbing, Deep Nostalgia:
“So what makes it really cool is that fact that you can upload an old photo of your family and see them animate and living. Which is pretty cool and creepy at the same time if they are dead already.. Really amazing service from myheritage, I created a lot of cool animations with my old photos as well as with the photos of my grandparents.”
Navigate to the site for a taste of this disquieting tool. Also included in the list is a marketing video maker, a logo generator, and a tool that can generate both a logo and suggest brand names based on keywords. Some of these could be helpful—creating a logo is a famously difficult task, for example, and those tools could at least offer a starting point. But I have to hope algorithms will not replace content creators entirely. At least not before I am ready to retire.
