Translation product managers take note
Slator’s March 24, 2023 poll revealed that 69.4% of respondents said that their customers were not asking about ChatGPT, this shows that people are still processing the magnitude of the coming revolution that Bill Gates predicts.
Before you write-off Gates’ predictions as self-promotion, bear in mind that most of his outlandish predictions in his 1995 book, The Road Ahead, came true more quickly than he foresaw – translation product managers take note.
ChatGPT and Storytelling
How can brands use ChatGPT, and artificial intelligence in general, to enhance their storytelling? How can they leverage the undeniable opportunities that the technology brings — without falling victim to its drawbacks?
The answer, as might be expected, is complicated. But it is vital to understand how written language evolves in the 21st century, specifically storytelling. These days, it is almost impossible to escape the chatter about ChatGPT.
Google: AI content is considered “spam”
According to John Mueller, Senior Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google, automatically generated content (or AI content) is considered “spam” because it violates Google’s Webmaster Guidelines.
Mueller spoke on the topic during a Google SEO Office Hours hangout, in response to a question on writing tools powered by GPT-3.
According to Google, AI content is generated programmatically. Therefore, because there is a high possibility that AI content can be used to manipulate search rankings (i.e., SEO) rather than help users, Google may take action.
Language-led or country-focused
Nataly Kelly, an award-winning global marketing executive and cross-functional leader in B2B SaaS, bring us some answers for a question: should your digital global marketing efforts be language-led or country-focused?
Marketing has already evolved to become increasingly complex in the past decade, with an increasing proliferation of channels, ongoing search algorithm changes, new technologies (including the current wave of new AI tools), and increased competition in many saturated channels. Add in language and country and culture, and it can make any marketer feel like their head is ready to explode.
Seven days a week, no holidays and no salary
“Fedha” is not human. Yes, the blond woman with light-coloured eyes, wearing a black jacket and a white T-shirt, looks human. She even sounds human. But this week she was introduced as the first presenter in Kuwait who works by artificial intelligence. “What kind of news do you prefer? Let’s hear your opinions,” she says in Arabic.
The 13-second video has generated a flood of reactions including, unsurprisingly, from television journalists. Self-preservation is not an instinct that Fedha would understand. She would not feel the threat posed by a presenter who could bring the news 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no breaks, no holidays and no salary.
TikTok and Instagram killed Tupperware
Tupperware, the American plastic food container business founded by the chemist Earl Tupper 77 years ago, has predicted it will go bust unless it can raise emergency funds.
Shares in the Massachusetts firm, which became famous in the 1950s and 1960s when mostly women held “Tupperware parties” to sell its plastic containers with patented “burping” seal, crashed almost 50% this week after it told investors there was “substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern”.
The company, which benefited from a boom in demand during the pandemic as people stayed at home, has seen its shares drop by 95% over the past 12 months as it struggles to match more innovative storage competitors who promote their products to younger people on TikTok and Instagram.
