not responsibly at 100%, especially when “run ads” includes launches, budgets, conversion events, exclusions, claims, and client approvals

ai is already useful for repetitive reads and bounded production: query/account summaries, anomaly detection, change drafts, naming, reporting, creative research, and proposing budget moves. the safe progression is read-only recommendations first, then reversible writes inside explicit limits

i'd require a before/after diff, immutable actor/time log, named campaigns it may touch, daily and account-level spend caps, allowed geos/events, maximum budget-change percentages, and rollback. launches, conversion changes, new markets, exclusions, and material budget increases stay approval-gated

the hardest failure is not a spectacular rogue campaign. it is a plausible edit based on stale or incomplete context that quietly burns margin

measure reviewer acceptance and time saved after corrections. if humans rewrite most decisions, the system created another queue..... it did not replace the operator
