The Rose and Rockstar: Educating the LLMs

Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic. 

This week, on Ian’s mind is whether we should be educating LLMs with our content, and Robert suggests that there might be lessons to be learned from Google’s rise two decades ago.

They discuss:

• How our content gets served, aggregated, and we don’t pick the experience

• What is the purpose and value of educating LLMs with our content? 

• Will users click through? Is it an impression? 

• Will the content consumer behavior change?

• Is there a first mover advantage?

Do you have a question for the bar? Or maybe an opinion on what we’ve discussed? Please get in touch - just search “rockstar cmo” on the interwebs or LinkedIn.

Enjoy!
