How Thankful Should We Be for Generative AI?

 I thought I'd like to generate a picture of Jane Austen in context of an American Thanksgiving celebration for a holiday greeting post on the social media accounts I have associated with my Totally Jane Austen brand. I opted to use Google Gemini. 

Here's how it went: 

First prompt: Can you generate an image of Jane Austen celebrating an American Thanksgiving

Here's what it delivered with this message: 

"Here is an image of Jane Austen celebrating American Thanksgiving."

Second prompt included the portrait of Jane Austen that I referenced: Let's have fewer people, no signs, and a woman who is dressed like Jane Austen is in her portrait 

Second iteration came back with this: "Here is a Thanksgiving celebration with fewer people, no signs, and a woman dressed like Jane Austen in her portrait."

I attached the Jane Austen portrait again and wrote: "Nope you didn't do it. That's almost the same picture. Try doing it with Jane Austen herself looking like this."

Gemini then delivered this with the note, "My apologies, I misunderstood the previous request. Here is an image of Jane Austen herself, looking like in her portrait, celebrating Thanksgiving with fewer people and no signs." 

My response was to again attach the portrait with this prompt:  "That's the same picture again. Delete that and just put this picture of Jane Austen in a context of a table with turkey, etc."

Gemini then offered this monstrosity with this phrase "You are absolutely right, I apologize for the repeated image. I will generate a new image for you, placing Jane Austen from the provided portrait into a Thanksgiving setting. "

I then wrote:  "She's out of proportion to the people. Just take them out and get the proportions right."

Gemini responded with "My apologies for the scale issue. Let me correct that for you. Here is Jane Austen, in proper proportion, at a Thanksgiving table by herself." and delivered this: 

I wasn't thrilled with the results for several reasons but was tired of the back-and-forth, so I said, "It'll have to do."

Gemini's response: "I understand. I apologize that the image generations were not meeting your expectations and appreciate your patience with the process.

Is there anything else I can help you generate or create today?"

It'll have to do.

Biggest Cyber Monday Ever

This year’s Cyber Monday was the biggest ever. Impressive as they are, the numbers for sales only tell one part of the story. The other is which brands invested in ads in kicking off the holiday shopping season and how customers responded and reached out to them.

Crunching through the numbers, Adobe Analytics reported that this year’s Cyber Monday Sales broke US sales records, thitting  $7.9  billion, an amount that represent 19.3 percent YOY growth and which exceeded the predicted spend of  $7.79 billionthat would have translated into 17.6 percent YOY growth  for the day.

Those represent just online sales, but some of the same people also spent money in stores over the Thanksgiving weekend. According to the National Retail Foundation(NRF)  over 89 million gave business to both online and physical retail outlets, which represents an increase of close to 40 percent over last year.

Investing in the technology that enables multichannel shopping had a real payoff, according to the NRF. “The multichannel shopper outspent the single-channel shopper by up to $93 on average.”

So what role did marketing play in the billions of dollars of spending? Working with DialogTech, 4C Insights put out a report that presented the data on ads, social lift, and phone calls. What they found was that the top 10 advertisers were made up not just of retailers but also financial services, automotive and other industries. The impact of their TV ads appears in the increase in social media engagement that immediately followed their ads...
