We’re back! It’s Season 2 Ep 1 of Misadventures in Marketing! In this episode of Misadventures in Marketing, hosts Peter Farago and Steve Haney discuss their own use of AI tools in how they market. Peter’s go-to chatbot is ChatGPT; Steve’s is Gemini. They explore the recent, rapid-fire developments in AI technology, the implications for job displacement, and the importance of context when using AI. Peter loves using ChatGPT as a thought partner. Steve likes using Gemini to analyze large spreadsheets to get a better understanding on marketing budget spend and trends in the data he may have missed. Both agree that these tools make them much more productive and are downright transformative under certain circumstances. Agentic AI’s are up next, and have the opportunity to make one person as productive as ten. All this being said, the human spark of anticipating what’s next still can’t be replaced. AI’s, by definition, predict based on looking back. Humans make decisions by looking forward. Good marketing needs the creative human element to produce the best work and succeed.
