Like everyone else, Kreatio's clients too are concerned and intrigued by the advancements in AI. Most are still unclear about its utility and usage in arriving at new solutions. In this article, we will delve into the capabilities of AI, especially LLMs (Large Language Models) for the publishing industry. This article focuses on LLMs' applications and  considerations essential for effectively leveraging their power.

Understanding LLMs: Unveiling Their Potential and Limitations

LLMs represent a groundbreaking advancement in AI technology. These models are designed to generate human-like text by leveraging vast amounts of data from the Internet. While LLMs excel at generating text, it's crucial to acknowledge their limitations, particularly in terms of knowledge and language skills.

In terms of knowledge, LLMs are trained on a wealth of information culled from the Internet. However, it is critical to understand that they only retain a fraction of what they see during the process. It makes the LLMs a poor source of factual accuracy. In this aspect, the LLMs are significantly inferior to conventional search engines.

Similarly, LLMs' language skills are shaped by the content available online, which includes a significant portion of low-quality material. This impacts the text quality they generate, posing challenges when attempting to create acceptable writing skills.

Potential copyright violations in the LLM-generated content and the associated legal ramifications are currently unknown. As a matter of law, it will take a while before it gets fully settled. However, this will likely be a consideration only for a small subset of the use cases.

Harnessing the Power of LLMs: Practical Applications

Despite these limitations, LLMs offer many opportunities for publishers to enhance their operations and content creation processes. Let's explore some critical applications where LLMs can be effectively utilized:

1. Suggesting Catchy SEO Metadata: The LLMs know a surprisingly large number of articles. It can suggest compelling titles, descriptions, and keywords for SEO purposes. While these suggestions can serve as valuable starting points, reviewing them carefully and filtering out the low-quality content in the LLM's training data is imperative.

2. Question and Answers as an Alternative to Searching: End-users find the question-answer way of interacting with the system far more convenient than using a search interface. The key challenge in implementing the question-answer system is to prevent the LLM from convincingly presenting false information when they do not know the answer. Techniques such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) constrain the knowledge domain to a finite universe. These approaches leverage LLMs' text comprehension and generation skills while ensuring the accuracy of the information presented.

3. Assisted Article Generation: LLMs are designed as a tool to write textual content. It is a potent tool for generating text across diverse topics and styles. However, achieving high-quality articles requires more than feeding prompts into the system. Crafting a well-researched prompt with clear instructions is crucial. It is also possible to generate content with a specific author's flair with careful prompting. While LLMs excel in generating content, they only do so with limitations. Factual errors, especially with data and references, may necessitate careful checking. In addition, you will likely need editing to improve the quality of the writing.

4. Content Summarization/Rewriting: LLMs excel at understanding and rewriting content, making them valuable tools for summarizing or paraphrasing existing material. Clear instructions and thorough editing are necessary to refine the generated content to meet the publisher's standards.
