What AI actually automates in service, transport & creative
Generative AI already produces usable first drafts of copy, layout and imagery, which hits volume production work hardest. Creative direction, client relationships and brand judgment hold up. In transport, full autonomy remains limited by regulation, insurance and edge cases outside highway driving, so timelines stretch well past the hype.
