AI UGC vs human UGC
A human UGC video is a real person's account of a product. An AI UGC video is an advertisement in the same visual style. Use a human creator when the message is a personal result, such as how a skin product worked for them, or when the creator's own audience matters. Use AI UGC videos when you need many versions of a clear product message and the presenter is explaining the product.
A brand can run both. Our guide, AI UGC vs creator UGC, goes through the comparison in more detail.
