New paper

Yingting Wen published « Experiential Narratives in Marketing: A Comparison of Generative AI and Human Content » in the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing. 
This paper examines whether generative AI can create experiential narratives that resonate with humans in terms of embodied cognition, affect, and lexical diversity. It reveals LLMs’ strengths in presenting positive emotions and influencing purchase intent but also identifies limitations in embodied cognition and lexical diversity compared with human-authored content.
