GPT-4 pitches more successful
A survey conducted by Clarify Capital, a small business lender, found that GPT-4-generated pitches were three times more likely to secure funding than human ones. The survey asked 250 investors and 250 business owners to rate a set of human-created and GPT-4-generated pitch decks without letting the participants know that AI was involved. The AI-generated pitches beat out human ones in quality, key element description, and problem description. The survey also tested the effectiveness of the decks across different industries, including finance, marketing, and investment.
