AI Slop Is Destroying The Internet (Or Not?)
#ai #ainews #aiforbeginners #airesearch #aitools #aislop
In today’s episode, we break down the build-vs-buy dilemma in AI and why businesses need to think carefully before building custom AI tools, agents, automations, or internal workflows.
AI is moving fast, and everyone online seems to be saying they built something powerful in 20 minutes. But is that actually realistic? And even if you can build it, should you? In this conversation, we talk about the real-world challenges behind AI tools, software costs, maintenance, security, token usage, and the risk of building systems that become obsolete almost immediately.
You’ll hear a practical discussion for agency owners, marketers, consultants, and business leaders who are trying to decide whether to build custom AI workflows, buy existing software, or use a mix of both.
We also talk about AI fatigue, the hidden costs of custom builds, the importance of protecting sensitive business data, and why portable AI skills, SOPs, and repeatable workflows may be more valuable than any single tool.
What you’ll learn:
Build or buy: how to decide when AI is worth building yourself.
AI maintenance: why tools still need updates, support, and human oversight.
Hidden costs: how custom builds can quietly drain time, money, and focus.
Security risks: why connecting AI to business data requires serious caution.
Portable skills: why prompts, SOPs, and workflows may outlast any single AI tool.
