Transcript
Why is one of these AI companies getting absolutely flamed while the other is getting a lot of love? Let's take a look at rage better marketing versus marketing that reads the room. This week, AI device startup called Friend launched a subway campaign in New York City with ads like this. Friend, someone who listens, responds, and supports you. Provocative messaging like I'll never bail on our dinner plant. A real life version of her where most of the sentiment in response to this has been anger and critique. Because to no one's surprise, very few people want an always listening pendant that positions itself as replacing human relationships. And the response to this ad can be understood through some data here. worse% of people from this Pew Research were concerned that AI would make us worse off for forming meaningful relationships with other people. And another fifty three percent thought we will be worse off in in our ability to think creatively, which is exactly the insight on which this ad from Claude is playing into. It's never been a better tier. A better time to have a problem. To be stuck, No this ad is great for a number of reasons, but the entire concept and positioning is to use AI to help you solve problems in the real world. Keep doing better research, keep learning stuff, and their last line, keep thinking. Claude's saying, hey, we're not going to degrade your ability to think creatively. We are going to enable you to do it much better. And as a result, this bad got a very positive response. Rank better marketing can work to get attention, but the question is, does that attention drive to desire?
