• Report finds developers overwhelmingly believe AI can handle marketing tasks once thought secure from automation
• Stroyblok finds 90% of developers use AI tools frequently or constantly in their coding
• Heavy AI adoption in coding shapes perceptions that marketing work could also be absorbed

A growing number of developers now believe artificial intelligence is poised to absorb much of what marketing teams currently do, new research has claimed.

A survey conducted by CMS firm Storyblok across 200 senior developers found nearly three-quarters of respondents think AI could manage either “most” or “all” of their company’s marketing responsibilities.

Specifically, nearly a third (28.5%) said they could handle the entire function with AI, while almost half (45.5%) felt confident they could manage most of it.

Confidence gap between developers and marketers

The study also found 20% believe at least some marketing roles could be shifted over to AI, but a minority, 5%, said AI should play no role in replacing marketing.

When marketers were asked the same question in reverse, fewer expressed such certainty about doing the work of developers.

Only 18.5% said they could cover all of a developer’s job, while 32% believed they could manage most, and over a third admitted they could only do some.

Developers, by contrast, appear to view their growing reliance on automation as a transferable strength that makes other roles more vulnerable to displacement.

That outlook is shaped by how deeply AI has already permeated engineering, as the survey reports nearly 90% of developers use AI tools either frequently or constantly in their coding work.

The most common reason cited is “increasing efficiency,” chosen by 30%, followed closely by automating routine tasks at 23% and improving skillsets at 22%.

These tools are no longer seen as occasional aids but as everyday instruments for writing and testing code, debugging, and accelerating learning.

This growing familiarity with automation has also changed habits of problem-solving.

When encountering obstacles, over a third (34%) of developers say they now turn first to an AI tool, compared with only 20% who would consult a colleague.

That shift reveals more than just a preference for speed, it shows how trust in machine guidance is beginning to outweigh reliance on peer exchange.

Such dependence shapes perceptions of what might be achievable beyond engineering.

If AI is already capable of generating functional code, identifying bugs, and streamlining tasks once thought too complex to automate, then managing the repetitive, process-driven side of marketing may appear within easy reach.

“Developers are among the most exposed to the impact of technological developments, so gaining a deeper understanding of their personal workplace preferences, stresses, and productivity more broadly can help businesses determine how best to manage change, improve happiness, and productivity,” said Dominik Angerer, CEO and co-founder of Storyblok.

• Millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency has been seized by the DoJ
• The wallet belongs to a suspected ransomware operator
• The ransomware, Zeppelin, is functionally extinct

The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has announced a cryptocurrency wallet containing over $2.8 million has been seized following charges of conspiring to commit computer fraud and abuse, computer fraud and abuse, and conspiracy to commit money laundering brought against the wallet's owner.

Ianis Aleksandrovich Antropenko is thought to have headed up the now defunct Zeppelin ransomware operation, which collapsed in 2022, to ‘ target and attack a wide range of individuals, businesses, and organizations worldwide, including in the United States,’ the statement confirmed.

Zeppelin was a ransomware-as-a-service tool which uses phishing as a point of contact, using double extortion methods to steal and encrypt data to then sell (or threaten to sell) on the dark web.

Luxury assets

Alongside the cryptocurrency, the DoJ also seized $70,000 in cash as well as a luxury vehicle, assets which are alleged to be involved in ransomware activity - mostly having been used to launder proceeds gained through ransom payments.

‘Those assets were laundered in various ways, including by using the cryptocurrency mixing service ChipMixer, which was taken down in a coordinated international operation in 2023. Antropenko also laundered cryptocurrency by exchanging cryptocurrency for cash and depositing the cash in structured cash deposits.’

Zeppelin has been used to victimize organisations in manufacturing, IT, healthcare, and finance industries - particularly those that rely on sensitive data.

The RaaS was introduced in 2019, and tactics evolved over the next few years, with actors using the tool to distribute malware. However, after sloppy updated versions were released in 2021, the tool became significantly less prominent.

By 2022, the service was essentially abandoned. Security researchers Unit221b developed a decryptor key after the tool was used to attack nonprofits, homeless shelters, and charity organisations.

August is coming to an end and, therefore, so is the summer season. There's no denying that Hulu's summer schedules have been stacked with fresh movies and binge-worthy TV shows – and it's keeping the ball rolling with its first list of fall titles.

In September, you can catch the return of two of the best Hulu shows, the first being Only Murders in the Building season 5 where we'll see Renée Zellweger, Keegan-Michael Key, and Christoph Waltz join the show's star-studded line-up. Additionally, we're also excited for High Potential season 2, the crime comedy-drama starring Kaitlin Olson.

But these Hulu Originals are just the beginning of what we're expecting to be a busy month for one of the best streaming services, and its slew of new movies is just as thrilling. From dramas such as Dead Poet's Society (1989) and Call Me By Your Name (2017) to familiar favorites Mean Girls (2004) and School of Rock (2003), these are some highly-rated gems coming to Hulu in September 2025. Which ones will you be streaming first? Let me know in the comments below.
