Creatives, take note: Artificial intelligence isn’t ready to take your job just yet.
Burger King plans to send out a press release Thursday declaring that its newest ad campaign was created entirely by artificial intelligence.

In the release, the home of the Whopper says it is testing a beta version of “a new deep learning algorithm that could give a glimpse into what the future of marketing and communications could look like.”
