EP72: Heavily AI-Written Website Copy Is Killing Conversions with Brendan and Coral of Alchemy Digital Co
Apr 300:32:08Tap to summarizeAI is everywhere right now, but that does not mean it is automatically making your marketing better. In this episode of The Meaningful Marketing Podcast, international award-winning marketing strategist Chantal Gerardy unpacks why so much AI-generated copy is starting to sound the same, and how that sameness can weaken your message, water down your point of difference, and hurt conversions.
