Maino's blog features new comparison articles against Creatify, HeyGen, and Higgsfield, plus a new post about its AI video generation studio built on performance data.
AI Ads Match Human Performance in Groundbreaking Study
A large-scale study titled "AI Ads That Work: How AI Creative Stacks Up Against Humans" analyzed several hundred thousand live ads on Taboola’s Realize platform to measure the impact of generative AI on user behavior. The dataset included over 500 million impressions and about three million clicks. Using a sibling-ads methodology—pairing AI-generated and human-created ads from the same advertiser, campaign and day—the study controlled for targeting and timing to isolate creative effects. Raw click-through-rates were 0.76% for AI ads versus 0.65% for human ads, but after statistical controls overall performance was comparable. Perception mattered: ads visually identified as AI-generated performed worse, while AI ads that lacked typical AI cues achieved the highest engagement. The presence of clear human faces increased perceived authenticity; AI-generated creatives more often included such faces. The authors conclude AI is a tool that can match or improve creative outcomes when human perception and trust signals are considered.
14-Day Build: AI Character Video Ad Pipeline
A solo founder documents a 14-day effort to build an automated AI character generator pipeline that turns CSV scripts into talking-head MP4s and pushes creatives to Meta via the Meta Ads API. Local rendering attempts failed due to heavy compute, memory leaks and Node child_process stdout/stderr buffer limits which created orphaned processes and crashed the server. The author chose to offload rendering to a third-party API (UGCVideo.ai) because of its pay-per-second billing, but observed production issues — webhook latency (up to ~4 minutes) and lip-sync artifacts on the "th" phoneme. The final pipeline uses Node.js, Postgres and Stripe, enforces strict idempotent webhook handling with transactional row locks, runs as a cron job, and automates creative creation and distribution to Meta Ads.
