70% of marketers are using GenAI to generate content ideas 🤯 🎧Weekend listening/reading alert! 📖 Social Media Examiner has released an eye-opening report on how marketers are using Generative AI—and honestly, some of the findings surprised me. For example, a big 70% of marketers use GenAI to generate content ideas, and 67% rely on it for drafting their first versions. I’ve said this before, and I tell friends often: my biggest concern with GenAI isn’t that it’ll replace jobs but that it might make us lazy, dull, and strip away our creativity and uniqueness. I love writing! But even if I didn’t, it’s part of my job as a marketer. Understanding what my audience needs, creating unique, impactful content based on search data, and keeping a brand’s tone of voice alive are key parts of what I do. And, honestly, they’re the most fun part of the job. Handing that over to a machine feels risky to a brand’s differentiation—what happens if every brand starts sounding the same? Anyway, this report is definitely worth a read and will get you thinking over the weekend. Also, check out Michael (Mike) Stelzner’s podcast episode where he breaks down some of these findings (and yes, there are some surprises if you listen till the end 😉). The links to the report and the podcast are in the first comment below 👇 I'm curious to learn your thoughts on this topic! #WeekendReads #GenerativeAI #MarketingTrends #ContentMarketing #AIinMarketing #Creativity #BrandVoice
