Humans prefer AI-generated copy, survey finds
by Danny Goodwin for Search Engine Land Humans are more likely to prefer content generated by AI than written by a human, according to a surprising new survey. Why we care.

In six AI- vs. human-generated content battles, the generative AI version “won” each. Here’s an example of one such battle, where the task was to write an introduction for a blog post about the best cat food for indoor cats. AI won 54% to 46%: In the…

Generative AI: What Keeps Me Up at Night
by Chad S. White for MarketingProfs During the opening session of the B2B Forum this year, MarketingProfs Chief Content Officer Ann Handley wowed and pumped up the crowd with an empathetic Barbie-inspired B2Barbie presentation. The overall message: B2B marketers are often held to impossible standards and underappreciated despite their hard work and smarts. Ann's point of view was crystal clear... But then generative AI took the stage, and attendees could be forgiven if they felt they weren't "Kenough"... unless they used generative AI to create a digital clone of themselves to work alongside them. In a particularly chilling moment, Ann asked Trust…
Was it Written by AI? How You Can Tell, According to HubSpotters
by Erin Rodrigue for HubSpot In school, I learned the basics of good writing — keep it short, concise, and grammatically correct. By that definition, AI-written content should be good, right? Yet, when I play around with tools like ChatGPT, I notice a few red flags. Sure, it's grammatically correct, but it gives off serious "corporate speak" vibes. It follows a logical sequence, but it often goes on lengthy tangents. And while its responses may be accurate, it often lacks a unique perspective. This isn't to suggest AI-written content is inherently bad. But if you plan to leverage AI for content…

The B2B generative AI design shootout: Part 2
by Brian Terry for Velocity Generative AI is having its moment in the sun — and it’s casting a menacing shadow over the creative industries while it does it. The trouble is, too much of the conversation focuses on whether generative AI will replace creatives entirely (by generating images, copy and code from scratch). We think a better question to ask is: How could generative AI make creatives better? Generative AI may one day be able to take on a fully-fledged designer — or it could fall flat on its originality-deficient face. But spotlighting the ways AI fails to totally…

2 Common Mistakes CEOs Might Be Making With Generative A.I.
