Causal Value Attribution of Marketing Labels in LLM-Generated Ads: A Deconfounder Approach

Key points

• As AI-generated content becomes commoditized, economic value increasingly shifts from final artifacts to the upstream expertise used to specify inputs that steer LLM generation.1
• Estimating their causal effects is difficult because outcomes reflect stochastic LLM mediation, high-dimensional label interactions, and multimodal confounding.1
• This study proposes D-VAE (Deconfounder Variational Autoencoder), a counterfactual-inference framework integrating a multi-treatment deconfounder with causal representation learning.1
• D-VAE recovers causally disentangled expert-labeling logic and derives PAC-based bounds on omitted-variable bias from single-treatment confounders.1

  This study examines generative marketing, where structured expert labels serve as skill primitives conditioning LLM-generated advertisements.

  As AI-generated content becomes commoditized, economic value increasingly shifts from final artifacts to the upstream expertise used to specify inputs that steer LLM generation.
