Field notes: what “AI-native” actually changes about UGC
Not “robots replace creators.” The real shift is cost-per-test and turnaround — here’s what that unlocks for a DTC ad account.

Why brands hold non-performing hooks too long, and how cheap AI-native video plus a metric-first 7-day kill rule makes cutting losers painless.
