Artificial intelligence, the advertising industry, our role and happiness
"AI will soon have no problem with generating concepts, graphics and ideas that resonate and have meaning, and it will be better than us. Speak to Garry Kasparov if you have any doubts about that. Outside of the creative industries it's busy reading x-rays better than doctors, its sensors can sniff out diseases and communicate them better than dogs."
"It seems the only thing left to do creatively, in our neck of the woods, will be to have someone sign off the work. Creative directors and stakeholders will make the final decision on the strategy and creative. We just need their signature and the gig's a wrap."
"But what's so special about signing off a campaign? It's just intuition at the end of the day. Are we saying AI can't intuit like people can? It does not have to believe everything it 'thinks' or 'feels'. It just has to make the right decision."
Artificial intelligence is quietly infiltrating daily life across all sectors, from healthcare diagnostics to architectural design. In creative industries, professionals claim AI serves as a helpful tool for idea generation, but this masks a deeper reality: AI will soon outperform humans in generating concepts, graphics, and meaningful ideas. Historical precedent exists through examples like Garry Kasparov's chess defeat. The remaining human role will likely be limited to final approval and sign-off on AI-generated work. However, even this distinction becomes questionable since approval ultimately relies on intuition and decision-making—capabilities AI can replicate. The future promises rapid campaign production with minimal human involvement beyond strategic oversight.
