The Rise of Generative AI and Its Application in E-commerce Advertising
Generative AI has gained immense popularity over the past year and was even selected as one of the “Top Ten Technology Terms of 2023” two months ago, highlighting its rapid rise. By definition, Generative AI (GAI) refers to a form of artificial intelligence that uses advanced algorithms, deep learning models, and massive datasets to generate original content. This includes text, images, audio, video, and even code—far surpassing the traditional capabilities of standard data processing tools.
How Generative AI Is Reshaping the Advertising Industry?
In 2023, the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI brought AI into the mainstream and sparked a wave of innovation across multiple sectors. Riding this momentum, major tech companies began launching their own AI tools. Naturally, Meta (formerly Facebook), as one of the global tech leaders, was quick to follow.
On October 4, 2023, Meta officially announced the launch of its first generative AI-powered ad creative features within the Meta Ads Manager, with full global rollout planned for 2024.
According to official sources from Meta, this AI tool enhances advertising performance through three major functions:
1. Image Expansion
This feature smartly resizes and reconfigures creatives to fit various display formats across Facebook feeds, Stories, and Reels. It allows advertisers to save time and resources by eliminating the need to manually adjust image ratios for different platforms.
2. Background Generation
By generating multiple visually engaging backgrounds that complement the product image, advertisers can customize their creatives for different audience segments. This not only increases visual appeal but also helps in A/B testing performance across demographics.
3. Text Variations
Based on the original ad copy, the AI can generate multiple persuasive versions, highlighting different product or service features. This provides marketers with a range of compelling messaging options to improve engagement and conversion.
These three functions offer significant value for advertisers operating independent websites, including those dealing with lookalike or designer-inspired product categories. The generative AI from Meta provides time-saving and efficient solutions, helping advertisers build compliant, compelling creatives without requiring a large team or extensive design skills.
Below, I will share a few wonderful clips with you to give you a preview of the power and intelligence of Meta GAI algorithms.
For example, provide text prompts to the model to describe and generate sounds: a flowing river and birds singing,
Meta GAI can also combine audio speech input with text style prompts to synthesize the speech in any environment (for example, “in a cathedral”) or any emotion (for example, “speaking sadly and slowly”),
For example, re-stylize the sound and automatically generate a segment based on the text prompt: a middle-aged man speaking in a large cathedral,
For example, add dog barking to the soundscape of rain,

In short, generative AI algorithms represent a new direction in science and technology. It can create huge value for creators and businesses around the world. For us, it has great research value, not only in simple lookalike fashion independent station advertising, independent station operation, cross-border e-commerce, etc., but also in all aspects of life, which can be achieved with the help of GAI!
Looking to the future, we believe that generative AI will create unlimited possibilities for users, creators and businesses. Therefore, keeping a recharge and learning attitude and entering the game as early as possible is a good new direction for entrepreneurship.
