So, I have been messing around with the new AI creative generation tools these platforms are pushing. Honestly, it is a mixed bag. I feel like this really changes how we approach ad copy and images, which is big for our industry. It is a bit of a shift in terms of regulation too, how much AI content is okay without disclosure, you know? Here is what I am seeing comparing Google Ads to Meta Ads:

Google's feels more geared towards text variations, less on full image generation.
Meta's visual output is sometimes better, but it needs more prompting.
Cost-wise, Google is bundling it more, Meta seems to have some premium features.
Data privacy for inputs feels different, imo.

Tbh, I still prefer a human touch for key headlines. Automation is great but not perfect yet.

That 'mixed bag' observation on AI creative... gotta say, for affiliate campaigns, particularly in high-volume casino traffic, it's becoming less 'mixed' and more flat-out critical. Seeing Google and Meta push more into dynamic image generation, not just text variations, is huge. Regulatory disclosure is absolutely the next big challenge, especially with new guidelines hitting our niche this quarter. Conversion rates are definitely impacted by how well you leverage these.

Yeah, totally agree this AI stuff is a game changer for our affiliate campaigns, it really is. The regulatory side is a REAL headache though, for sure. But tbh, I'm actually seeing Google push a LOT more on image generation lately, not just text. It feels like they're catching up to Meta FAST on that. Imo, Meta's still better for those super specific casino promo images. Btw, I just saw they updated Google's image editor - it's actually pretty decent now for quick variations, especially for those betting odds graphics.
