MWITA-SSCO-2026-001 · Evidence A · P1
One generative image model outperformed professional stock imagery on clicks in one display-ad setting, while the other tested models did not.
What this does not establish
Do not transfer the result to video, influencer, organic content, long-term brand effects, conversion, or revenue.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
The advantage was model-specific rather than a general synthetic-image effect: the other tested models did not beat stock on CTR, and neither CTR nor CPC establishes downstream value.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised versions, denominators, confidence intervals, platform or model changes, and deployed human or commercial outcomes.
