Human vs AI-generated social ads – which perform better?

We've A/B tested paid social ads for the Human vs AI video debate to see if AI copy performs better than copy written by a human. The results of our experiment are now in. Find out who won and be the first to receive other exclusive insights from GfK.

Why are we having this debate?

GfK has used AI to power its market intelligence data and insights for many years. When the recent craze started, we naturally got excited to explore what is possible with the latest advancements. We were curious how far we could stretch the power of AI and how close it can get to humans. That’s how we got the novel idea of a debate between our CMO and an AI. We were mind blown in the process: by the comprehensive answers, the quality of the animated avatar, the ease of giving it a voice.

After having played with the different tools ourselves, we’re excited about integrating these into our daily routines to create more time for work that we’re passionate about.

Meet Ruby, our fully AI-generated humanoid robot

After picking our topics to debate we briefed ChatGPT on all questions. Next we used the AI design tool Studio D-ID to create the animated avatar of Ruby the Robot. Finally, we gave her a voice with Eleven Labs. Then we hit the film set to shoot the debate. In addition, we used Beatoven AI to produce the video intro and outro music.
