Will AI replace performance marketers in the next 1 years?

I’ve managed 1M+ in Meta & Google ad spend and one pattern keeps repeating:

The person who can:
• Read data deeply
• Understand creative
• Connect the two
• Actually take action

…is extremely rare.

Now we’re building AI agents that:

• Analyze ads frame-by-frame

• Reallocate budget automatically

• Generate new creatives

• Launch campaigns

Curious how the PH community sees this:

Are we heading toward autonomous ad teams?
Or will humans always stay in control?

Would love honest takes.
