“Learn what people are asking ChatGPT!”
This lovely sales pitch, seen many times a day on LinkedIn, is a lie.
There’s no way to sugarcoat it. It’s a lie. Any vendor proclaiming this is lying to you and taking your money and giving you 💩 in return. There isn’t a single AI vendor of large language models that shares this data publicly, and therefore there are zero reliable sources of this data.
Two reasons why. First: privacy. While we know that nothing in the cloud is ever truly private (the cloud is just someone else’s computer), most AI vendors (especially paid tool vendors) have privacy policies in place that prevent the sharing of your data outside that vendor.
Second: money. No AI vendor, desperate for training data, is going to share the solid gold that is the interactions of users with their models. That’s reinforcement learning gold, and no one in their right mind is going to share their crown jewels.
If you see a vendor purporting to know what people say in ChatGPT or any major generative AI tool, they’re lying. Save your money.
If you just want made up data that has no bearing on reality, ask ChatGPT to make it up for you. You’ll save a lot of money and the data quality will be about the same as these vendors. It’s still a lie, but it’s a cheaper lie.
Okay, you say, but the CMO wants to know what people are asking. What do I do?
You go to the data source. Take the money you would have spent on the tool (and some of these services are charging highway banditry prices, like $5,000 a month) and GO DO SOME MARKET RESEARCH WITH REAL PEOPLE. Real market research from real people, and probably at a savings compared to what you would have spent on some mythical SaaS tool that at best is estimating and at worst is making things up.
At the end of the day, those people are going to be the ones to buy from you anyway. Skip the middleman and go straight to the source – ask real people, and save your budget for marketing to them, not to fabricated AI data from unscrupulous vendors looking to make a buck from people who don’t know how AI works.
