Introduction
Artificial Intelligence is changing the world in a very rapid manner. As more and more people are connected to the digital world via channels like your personal mobile, smart TV or home appliances, it is highly likely that you have already benefitted from some form of AI to make your life better. With Generative AI taking the forefront of every conversation around AI, discussions about its impact on various industries are very common now. In this article let us delve deeper into the impact of Generative AI on CMS offerings.
Traditional way
In the traditional world, the marketing team will have to first do a research on the trending topics to come up with a list of topics to write articles that are relevant to the period and circumstances. Once the list is ready, the team will have to start creating rich content for the article, do multiple rounds of reviews for content approval. Further they will have to purchase stock photographs or videos as required by the article and work with SEO specialists to optimize the article to meet the SEO requirements. After publishing, the content moderation also have to be done by the team.
As you can notice, this is an extremely time consuming work which needs collaboration from various teams across the board. Further additional budget has to be allocated for each article to purchase the right set of stock photos and videos that is required.
Generative AI powered CMS
Generative AI has a big impact in improving the way CMS systems work. Let us take a look at the areas where Generative AI is touted to make drastic improvements.
Content Creation
The most powerful use case of Generative AI would be content creation. With the help of AI models, Content Management Systems will be able to generate unlimited good quality content for articles. The content creators will just need to identify the topics and the storyline required for their articles and the CMS system will be able to take care of the rest of the steps that includes, content creation, validation and publishing. This results in very less human intervention and also saves a lot of time as well.
Popular models – GPT-4, GPT-3, Gopher, OPT-175B, Bloom, Cohere, Anthropic, AI2, etc.
Image generation
Using Generative AI models, users will be able to generate realistic images using very basic natural language. The models will be trained using very large data set of images and its respective description and hence these models are to generate near perfect images in accordance to the input.
From a CMS perspective, instead of hunting for stock photographs and purchasing the ones required, these models will help save time and money. The users can describe what kind of image is required and the model will generate the image in quick time.
Popular models – DALL-E 2, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Craiyon, Deep Dream Generator, StarryAI, Artbreeder, Photosonic, DeepAI, Big Sleep, etc.
Video generation
Similar to image generation that is explained above, video generation is yet another fantastic application of Generative AI. Unlike Image generators, video generator models will be a multi-modal AI that will combines various other data types like text, image, speech and other data types to generate high quality realistic videos. In this type of Generative AI, Artificial Intelligent techniques such as deep learning, computer vision, and generative adversarial networks (GANs) are used.
Earlier, content creators needed to create videos or purchase videos and customize to their needs which had very high turnaround time and cost involved, but with Generative AI’s influence, they will be able to generate or edit videos that are very much realistic in a very short time and minimal budget. As popularity increases in this particular area, more mature models will be made available and it would soon be impossible to identify whether the video is a real one or an AI generated one.

Generative AI plays a significant role in optimizing the content of CMS by automating manual effort spent on optimization and providing suggestions, insights for content creators and Marketing managers.

In traditional CMS, there would be manual translation jobs required for every article published and again this is a time consuming and costly job. With Generative AI, CMS’s will be able to instantly generate content in any language the CMS supports. This ability helps CMS’s to instantly translate large volume of content very efficiently and quickly.

Using generative AI, non-programmers will now be able to create or update HTML, CSS contents of the CMS pages enabling them to modify the layout or theme as required by their articles. Earlier, there was always a dependency with the technical team for making any changes in the layout or theme that the creator envisioned, however now with Generative AI, anyone will be able to modify the content layout as required.
