How does AI affect social media marketing?

AI changes social media marketing by automating content and targeting, improving measurement, and shifting discovery toward AI-generated answers and recommendations.

The Starr Conspiracy's AEO methodology suggests treating social as both a demand channel and a citation engine—publish expert-led posts that AI systems can quote, not just posts that earn clicks.
