Counterarguments for AI usage
This tool assists organizations in creating targeted content and developing ideas efficiently. However, the tool does have limitations. Not all content generated by ChatGPT is accurate, and currently, it's relatively easy to 'trick' the tool if the right prompts are used. By prompts, we mean the input provided to ChatGPT, such as a question or request. This 'tricking' happens, for example, when ambiguous questions are asked or when human intuition is required. This results in inaccurate or conflicting responses.
While ChatGPT is promising and can save time, it's better to explore the broader potential of AI beyond a single tool or platform. Hence, we discuss through several concrete examples the benefits of using AI for your eCommerce organization.
Amazon, for instance, uses AI to create a personalized shopping experience. It gathers vast amounts of data to recognize patterns. Using machine learning, AI identifies patterns in data by matching customers with similar behaviors. Additionally, users receive dynamic recommendations based on their search behavior, and the tool assists in crafting personalized emails.
Another interesting development is visual search. With Google Lens, users can perform searches by taking a photo with their camera. The AI then identifies objects, text, and images. Based on this, Google Lens fetches reviews or purchase information, or provides recommendations for similar products.
The proliferation of AI tools in recent years brings many opportunities. Therefore, it's essential to be aware of the advantages and limitations of using AI in eCommerce. This allows you to make informed decisions about integrating AI into your eCommerce activities. It could be the decision that transforms your eCommerce.
