Abstract

Generative AI is now used to create many online ads, but it is still unclear how humans and AI can work together in an effective way. This study examines this question in the setting of short Twitter ads. We ran a multi-stage experiment with one hundred human writers and asked independent raters to evaluate ads produced in four conditions: fully human, AI-edited, human-revised with AI examples, and fully AI-generated content. The results show that human-written ads are more appealing and more relevant than ads created by a generative AI tool. The results also show that collaboration helps both sides. Human writers produce better ads after reading AI-generated content, and AI produces more natural text when its prompts include human-written examples.
