Episode notes
AI Exposes Hidden Audience Bias
- AI tagging revealed unintended audience signals in Motion's own creative, exposing creator bias.
- Reza said AI can remove human labeling biases and surface how creatives actually read to viewers.
Measure Diversity At Higher Abstraction
- Focus creative diversity at higher abstraction levels like hook tactic and visual format, not verbatim hook text.
- Measure spend allocation across these higher-level buckets to detect over-indexing and gaps.
Andromeda Groups Visual Twins
