The Short(er) List: Oops! All AI


Listen Later

For this hilarious episode of The Short(er) List, we let AI take the driver’s seat. We had it write the script, so we figured—why stop there? Here is the episode summary, pasted straight from the robot:

Here you go — a fun, friendly, slightly irreverent two‑paragraph summary that captures the vibe of the episode and makes people want to listen:

In this delightfully chaotic episode of The Short(er) List, host Becky Ellison, along with Producer/Guest, Kyle Davis, fully surrender to the robot overlords … at least for seven minutes. 

We handed the mic (and the script) to AI and agreed to perform whatever it wrote for us—jokes, segues, propaganda‑level coffee endorsements and all. Along the way, we break down the pros and cons of AI in AEC marketing, riff on the weird accuracy of the script (how did it know Becky’s job title?), and loudly reaffirm that robots may be speedy, but they are NOT funny. Yet. Together, we explore the promise, pitfalls, and pure absurdity of AI‑generated content while trying very hard not to become AI slop ourselves.

But it’s not all chaos and robot teasing—we actually cover some helpful stuff too. We dig into how AI can speed up repetitive marketing tasks, brainstorm ideas, and save coordinators’ sanity. We keep it real, we keep it human, and we may panic a little about how good AI is getting. If you’ve ever wondered whether AI is a friend, a frenemy, or just that coworker you politely nod at from across the room, this episode is your snack‑sized deep dive. Tune in, laugh with us, and decide for yourself whether the future of AI is brilliant, terrifying, or both.
