Why Marketers Should Test ChatGPT Before Scaling
I have covered platforms like this for more than seven years, and Early tests make sense; large budgets still need cleaner proof of conversion quality.
The useful question is not whether AI shows up in the stack. It already does. The question is who owns taste, safety, and measurement when the platform rewrites the asset.
- Define the conversion before you scale
- Separate brand safety from performance tests
- Compare incrementality, not vanity CTR

If you only remember one habit from this piece, make it this: screenshot the served creative, not just the uploaded master. What ran is the truth; what you approved in the deck is often a polite fiction.
