Why Are the Best Marketers Allergic to AI?

Hector Serrano says the best marketers are allergic to AI because the ad a person actually sees should still be made by people. The top labs automate research and internal steps, and they still put large human teams on the finished piece: the video, the design in Figma, the edit, the post-production. He does not see a way around that soon.

Wispr Flow sells an AI product meant to help someone work better and sound like themselves, not to take their job. If that company then runs AI slop, AI influencers, and AI still images, the audience will reject it. It looks wrong. Model-made ads come back with typos and tangled sentences, and the mistake is public. AI should not touch the final creative other people will see. Matt, a former growth lead, runs more automations than almost anyone he knows, and a human still owns the last step, because a brand cannot afford a public error.

The rest of the allergy is volume. It is easy now to generate videos, a copy of your own face, and a stream of posts. That flood is noise. A brand that posts less, on purpose, with something real in it, cuts through. Wispr Flow's YouTube channel was about three months old and five videos in, with millions of views and about 20,000 or 21,000 subscribers. A new channel does not need three videos a week. A small human team and careful packaging beat a quota.
