Why Brand Storytelling Wins the AI Content Race

75% of Americans say it's becoming harder to distinguish human-created content from AI-generated content, according to a 2025 survey of 2,000 US adults. Creating content was never the hard part, but standing out is. And that requires a brand story built on how you help your audience rather than who founded your company.
