Let’s first define, for those who have never heard of it, what ChatGPT is: GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer, a language processing model developed by the US artificial intelligence company OpenAI led by Elon Musk and Sam Altman.
The GPT language model uses deep learning to produce human responses. Deep learning is a branch of machine learning that involves training artificial neural networks to mimic the complexity of the human brain and produce human responses. It’s like Google, but instead of searching the web and indexing or sorting existing information so that when you search for something it shows you what’s available like Google does today, instead ChatGPT learns everything they say on web pages and through AI keeps the conversation going with you on that topic and mixes it up to give you new information.
ChatGPT has a simple and user-focused interface, which we would call “user friendly” in English, which allows users to interact with it in a conversational way.
In light of this new technology, both businesses and consumers have shown great interest in how such innovation could revolutionize marketing strategies and customer experiences.
What sets ChatGPT apart from other chatbots is the size of its dataset. Chatbots are typically trained on a smaller set of data in a rule-based manner designed to answer specific questions and perform specific tasks. ChatGPT, on the other hand, is trained on a large dataset (175 billion parameters and 570 gigabytes) and can perform various tasks in different fields and industries. 570 GB is more than 385 million pages in Microsoft Word.
Given the amount of data, ChatGPT can perform various language-related activities, including answering questions in different fields and sectors, providing answers in different languages, and generating content. In fact, it’s already becoming a headache for teachers because students don’t have to think about anything anymore, they just look for what they need to develop to get it.
While ChatGPT can be a great tool for marketers, it’s important to understand the capabilities and realistic expectations of it in order to get the most value.

In its current form, ChatGPT cannot replace the human factor in marketing, but it could support content creation, improve customer service, automate repetitive tasks, and support data analysis. Marketers can use ChatGPT to enhance existing content by using it to edit written work, make suggestions, summarize ideas, and improve the overall readability of written text or copy. Furthermore, ChatGPT can improve your search engine optimization strategy by examining ideal tags and keywords.
In addition to the above, companies can empower ChatGPT to answer frequently asked questions and interact with customers in a human-like conversation. Instead of replacing the human factor, ChatGPT could provide 24/7 customer support. This could optimize business resources and improve internal processes by leaving sensitive, high-impact tasks to humans. ChatGPT can also be trained in different languages, further improving user experience and satisfaction.
Marketers spend a significant amount of their time on repetitive tasks such as sending emails and creating social media posts. While some of that challenge is solved by customer relationship management or CRM software, ChatGPT can improve it by providing an additional layer of personalization through creative content creation.
Also, ChatGPT can be useful in other tasks, such as product descriptions. With access to massive amounts of data, ChatGPT could frequently update and adjust product descriptions, allowing marketers to focus on higher-impact tasks.
While ChatGPT has the potential to improve marketing efficiency, companies should only use the technology as a tool to help people, not replace them. ChatGPT could provide creative content and support content ideas. However, the human factor remains key to examining results and creating marketing messages that align with the company’s business vision and strategy.
A company that does not have a strong marketing strategy prior to integrating ChatGPT remains at a competitive disadvantage. However, with proper marketing strategies and plans, ChatGPT could effectively improve and support existing marketing processes.
