Sarah BoothGUEST
And I think that is just something that we, well, I personally just find really worrying, especially when we're automating more and more of what we do.
L
13:58Leanne TomasevicGUEST
Should we have a look at something else as well? I know another that we sourced or that we found is, was the science of beauty sleep.
L
14:08Leanne TomasevicGUEST
So this is about, does your sleep really affect how you look? We've all heard of the concept of beauty sleep, but I bet you've never thought about how it's actually a real thing.
L
14:16Leanne TomasevicGUEST
So talking about if humans can detect sleep deprivation, others, that you can affect how attractive you are.
L
14:21Leanne TomasevicGUEST
So it's actually about a study that showed, got people to be evaluated on attractiveness, depending on looking at the amount of sleep that they had.
L
14:29Leanne TomasevicGUEST
So really pointing out, if you haven't had enough sleep, you're not going to be as attractive.

Sarah BoothGUEST
The question, Leanne, just as we're waiting, this synthetic audience, do you build a demographic profile and then look at the types of responses that you would get from a similar demographic in real life to build an attitudinal kind of structure that then is generative? What we do is
S5Ep13: Christmas in April with Pete Markey & Leanne Tomasevic powered by Electric Twin
L
4:13Leanne TomasevicGUEST
What we're doing is making that group of people be always on, that you can ask them any question at any time, 24 seven.
L
4:24Leanne TomasevicGUEST
So I think a lot of brands, and I'm sure Pete, you've done this with when you're at Boots and places like that.

21:23Leanne TomasevicGUEST
To me, the authenticity point is really about emotional truth or emotional honesty.
L
21:29Leanne TomasevicGUEST
So even if you take the liquid death example, let's take their Depend diapers campaign, which I'm sure everybody has seen.
L
21:39Leanne TomasevicGUEST
The last thing you want to do is have to take time out and go to use the toilet.
L
21:43Leanne TomasevicGUEST
So, okay, in some ways, it's a very ridiculous scenario that you would wear, depend, you'd be kind of like wearing diapers or incontinence pads or whatever it is.
L
21:51Leanne TomasevicGUEST
But actually, who can't relate to the fact that I don't want to interrupt a moment when I'm having fun to go to the toilet.

Conor ByrneHOST
So can you tell me a bit about that and what you've seen from the tracksuit data?
