The core insight

The AI content reality gap

AI has made it easier to create content. But much harder to trust it.

Faster production

First drafts arrive in seconds, not days.

Higher expectations

Leadership now expects far more output, far faster.

More to review

Every draft needs checking before it's safe to publish.

Greater risk

Errors and off-brand copy slip through at scale.

The result

Work hasn't disappeared. It's just moved into editing, validation and rework.

Why this matters

More content doesn't mean better performance

Publishing more content only works if that content is accurate, on-brand and genuinely high quality.

Accurate
On-brand
High quality

Without that, increased output can dilute your message, damage trust and reduce marketing effectiveness. This report shows where teams are struggling - and what needs to change.
