AI & QUANT EXPERIMENTATION IN GROWTH MARKETING

Marketing is rapidly being transformed by AI. This article describes strategies in growth marketing that are working today, including agents that power self-improving websites and content personalization at large scale. These strategies are referred to as “quant experimentation”, a nod to quant trading, which similarly revolutionized the world of finance in the 1980s, and share parallels with the transformation happening in growth marketing.

NO, LLMS ARE NOT "SCHEMING"

In 2024, we comfortably outpaced the Turing test with AI like OpenAI's o1. AI showcases impressive conversational abilities yet lacks human-like situational awareness - there are debates over whether LLMs are mere pattern learners or entities with reasoning skills. These models excel in replicating but struggle to prioritize patterns due to a lack of contextual understanding. The focus should remain on refining model training and evaluation methods instead of attributing human-like traits or intentions to AI systems.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

AI advancements have accelerated, with several new GPT-4 level and Gen3 models emerging, offering both revolutionary and incremental improvements. The o1 models demonstrate advanced reasoning, can catch errors in academic papers, and are able to assist in research, highlighting AI's expanding role beyond traditional tasks. AI capabilities now include real-time video interaction and improved text-to-video generation, indicating profound future implications and opportunities for integration across fields.
