Recently, green marketing has become an important strategy implemented by retailers to enhance their corporate image and consumer engagement. This study imitates human creators’ strategies for creating green marketing content and categorizes three strategies for using AI-generated green marketing content. The results of two studies reveal that moderate green in AI-generated content (compared to non-green content) awakens consumers’ proenvironmental perceptions, consequently increasing their purchase intention. However, excessive green in AIgenerated content (compared to moderate green content) evokes skepticism related to greenwashing, which, in turn, negatively impacts their intention to purchase. Additionally, perceived experience and agency positively moderate the relationships between the different strategies of using AI-generated green marketing content and consumers’ reactions. Our research highlights the importance of using thoughtful approaches to generative AI implementation in the field of green marketing, especially those aimed at reaping economic advantages (e.g., cost efficiency, enhanced consumer engagement, and improved innovation) while maintaining strong consumer relationships. |  |\n\n1. Introduction  \nIn recent years, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged asa transformative technology capable of creating diverse and innovative content, including text, images, and audio, by learning from existing data patterns (Epstein et al., 2023). One of the key benefits of using generative AI in marketing is cost savings in creative processes (Chaisatitkul et al., 2024). For example, a previous study has shown that creating marketing content using generative AI took less time and required less resources to produce. Furthermore, AI-generated visual content can enhance brand storytelling and make it more visually appealing to customers. In turn, this approach can evoke higher emotional responses, leading to a more significant impact on consumer engagement (Wahid et al., 2023). For retailers, facing different market conditions could lead them to adopt corresponding marketing strategies (Thorpe and Morgan, 2007). In recent years, growing public awareness of environmental issues has driven consumers to seek products and services that align with their values of sustainability (Mukonza and Swarts, 2020). Accordingly, “green marketing,” defined as the  \npromotion of environmentally friendly and sustainable products and services, has become an essential marketing strategy for connecting with eco-conscious consumers (Gelderman et al., 2021). Retailers can adopt different approaches to emphasize the importance of balancing economic, social, and environmental factors in business practices, such as selling eco-friendly products, ensuring sustainable supply chains, and seeking green certifications (Roh et al., 2022).  \nIn traditional green marketing, human creators play a leading role in pr","cbCaiiEnEtp21acX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiEnEtp21acX","pdf",6467538,15,"English","# Introduction\n## Green marketing and generative AI in marketing\n## Consumer perceptions and reactions","[{\"question\":\"How does moderate green in AI-generated content affect consumer behavior?\",\"answer\":\"Moderate green awakens consumers’ pro-environmental perceptions, which increases their purchase intention.\"},{\"question\":\"Why can excessive green in AI-generated marketing reduce purchase intention?\",\"answer\":\"Excessive green evokes skepticism related to greenwashing, which negatively impacts consumers’ intention to purchase.\"},{\"question\":\"What role do perceived experience and agency play in consumer reactions?\",\"answer\":\"Perceived experience and agency positively moderate the relationships between different AI-generated content strategies and consumers’ reactions.\"}]","How do consumers react to AI-generated green marketing content? - A hybrid analysis using PLS-SEM and text mining | PDF",1789941051,38,[148,152],{"page_no":8,"url":149,"width":150,"height":151},"https://res-academy.cache.wpscdn.com/upload/kdocshare/2026-11-08/08bd495e4e2df3b69b2bf45ac8c43051.webp",983,1310,{"page_no":14,"url":153,"width":154,"height":155},"https://res-academy.cache.wpscdn.com/upload/kdocshare/2026-11-08/25a9c65b5ad3e92af60dae5eac30bf39.webp",982,1309]
