We keep racing toward better AI. But is anyone ready for what that actually means?

In this episode, I dive into a thought experiment about all the things that have been bugging me about AI's potential impact. From the economy to ethics, marketing to mortality, I explore what happens if AI delivers on every promise. This is a wake-up call for everyone. It’s a big picture, best-and-worst-case look at how AI could transform (or derail) everything we know.

But this isn’t just about AI taking jobs. It’s about identity, trust, creativity, grief, and what happens when machines think faster than we can follow. If you’re in marketing or just trying to stay relevant, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why the best-case scenario for AI might still be a disaster for jobs
• How AI could flatten marketing into one giant blur of sameness
• What happens when creativity is easy, but originality is hard
• The coming cultural rift between AI believers and AI resisters
• How grief, relationships, and therapy might all get an AI upgrade
• Why the $20/month chatbot will go extinct, and what will replace it
• How smart marketers can survive the shift by becoming creative directors

So, if you've been bouncing between excited and terrified about AI… you’re not alone.
