The Rise of 'Human-Made' Branding as a Differentiator in the Age of AI
This article explores the emerging trend of branding products as 'human-made' or 'human-created' as a selling point in an era increasingly dominated by AI-generated content. It examines how industries like books, movies, music, art, and fashion are being reshaped by AI, and how consumers are beginning to value authenticity and human creation as differentiators. The article argues for the need to establish clear and standardized mechanisms to reliably communicate a guarantee of human origin to consumers who face a deluge of AI-generated works.
Key quotes
Until recently, promoting a product by its human-made or created component would have seemed absurd or illogical.
Businesses are increasingly seeking out ways in which to promote products as 'human-made' in a market where such products and content are often indistinguishable from their AI competition.
It is important to establish a clear and standardised mechanism to adequately and reliably communicate a guarantee of human origin.
