Google's Pomelli Photoshoot feature saves weeks of time in product photography iterations
The amount of saved time is weeks... your manufacturer can just keep that sample and then it's like, 'Hey, you know, I actually wanted to tweak this thing here, tweak this thing there.' Okay, great. We made the adjustments. Great. Send me that photo.
Large language models excel at language and psychology but struggle with numerical data
large language models... are they're built to like deconstruct language. They're not great at numbers... It doesn't typically do that with language, though, because it's reading words.
Most marketers discuss psychology-based strategies but rarely implement them effectively in actual advertising
all of Twitter is talking about psychology, but we're still not seeing it come out in advertising easily.
