The Impact of AI-Generated Ads on Consumer Purchase Intention Across Different Product Types: The Mediating Role of Perceived Deception
摘要
With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, various aspects of the business sector are undergoing profound transformations. Many brands are actively considering the use of AI-generated advertisements for product promotion. The impact of AI-generated ads for different product types on consumer purchase intention warrants in-depth exploration. Experimental results indicate that, compared to functional products, AI-generated ads for symbolic products more significantly enhance consumer purchase intention. Additionally, consumers perceive AI-generated ads for symbolic products as having lower perceived deception compared to those for functional products, thereby increasing the purchase intention for symbolic products. This study provides a reference for businesses in applying and promoting AI-generated advertisements.
