AI should be much better than any human at looking at trends and habits of groups of people and better able to cross-correlate factors to assist marketing managers in making decisions.

Planning and executing a strategic, innovative, and effective marketing campaign will never be able to be taken over by AI. Because the moment something is established enough (think newspapers), a new format will become more available that’s more impactful for consumers, simply due to its newness (TikTok).

Google is attempting full automation, but soon enough, everyone will get tired of seeing 10 YouTube ads a day and just tune them out.

The jobs that require a high level of speed that can be obtained through automation easily fall into the category of 'performed by robots without a loss of quality'. The only humans that can outperform robots will be those who 'feel' what kind of research is timely, what niche is a potential hit and what indicators of the market demand particular attention.

As AI need for market research but it won't replace them because marketing skills need human knowledge not instructed robots its only way some areas will make fast using AI

There are already AI present with marketing strategies, and since these marketing strategies use technology which they understand more since that’s what they are, of course they would know how to work something they are made of.

no not really, that is sales, not marketing.

Still, I don't see anything above a Marketing Assistant type role being able to be fully done by AI in the future.

Marketing is the use of information to promote the sale of a product or service, we will use AI but that will require more of us, not replace us - the use of AI will actually have the opposite effect on the industry
