Yeah true. Guess I'll have to learn some new skills and walk away from my six figure Google Ads specialist job soon...

Not sure i was saying that… I certainly could be wrong. I guess you’re saying AI won’t affect advertising then? I’d certainly be open to the decent chance I’m wrong! Maybe some categories of ads will go away but some new ones will appear?

My main point was that some ads are there to get you to click through for content, and that if the content is already right there in front of you, what would the ad do?

There's a type of ad called native that more closely resembles an article, or useful info for the user even if its still trying to link a brand to it. That might be better positioned to fit into an AI environment if done well and not rammed down users throats as a "sponsored response"
