This week’s AI-powered martech releases

A new study finds 75% of marketers preferred the human or human-aided execution of a creative brief over the AI version.



Good news fellow flesh-and-blood-based life forms! Half of human marketers say their fellow humans do better with a creative brief than our artificial intelligence rivals. That’s according to a new study by Bynder, a digital asset management (DAM) software vendor


The study first showed 1,000 marketers a set of images and asked them which were created solely by AI (they were allowed to make multiple selections). Proving that humans (mostly) recognize the work of other humans, 54% picked the image created by AI alone, and 61% selected the image that had been produced by AI with human input. Only 30% selected the version that had been created by a human designer. 


When asked which responded best to the creative brief for these images, 50% chose the solely human response, 25% chose the hybrid and 22% preferred the AI-only design.


Way to go, humanity.
