Hello AI marketers! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That recent Sam Altman bombshell quote got me thinking.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For those who don’t know, he said: “AI will do 95% of what marketers use agencies, strategists, and creative professionals for today.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Marketers already know that controversial statements can get people talking, but is it fair to think AI will totally replace marketers? Or is this a bit short-sighted?  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Here’s my take… <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Generative AI has surprised people so far. Altman said himself last year, “Creativity has been easier for AI than people thought.” And creatives are getting hit hardest by AI job replacements.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, where does marketing stand? I cast my mind back to an excellent Seth Godin podcast<\/a> on AI, where he said:  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“The job you have didn’t exist 40 years ago, so why do you think it’s going to live forever?” <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Watch the podcast below. It’s excellent. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
