Traffic from GenAI sources grew 1,200% in a single year. Buyer preference for AI-generated content has fallen to 26%. The gap between those two numbers is where brand equity is quietly being lost.

The marketers pulling ahead aren't the ones producing the most content. They are the ones who know exactly when to let AI run and when to step in.
