Google is advertising its AI Max feature inside Google Ads campaign settings, promoting its own tools within the paid platform.
Google is now promoting its own AI features inside Google Ads — a rare move that inserts marketing directly into advertisers’ workflow.

- It essentially serves as an internal advertisement for Google’s own tooling.
