AI Broke the Career Ladder. Did It Build a Replacement?
Q: How should marketers and brands approach using these tools without losing authenticity or making it feel lazy?
Marketing benefits from AI when there is a clear human lens—defining personas, showing taste, and simulating how different buyers think. The key is combining AI-driven experimentation with designers and copywriters who bring genuine perspective, so outputs are adaptable, believable, and aligned with a real brand voice rather than robotic repetition.
AI Broke the Career Ladder. Did It Build a Replacement?
Q: Laura, what do you think are the most interesting ways founders and startups are using the tools available to them right now?
Founders are leveraging AI across the entire development lifecycle—from ideation and strategy to sales enablement and branding. They use AI to research companies, tailor materials for different audiences, and create personalized, scalable simulations of personas to test messaging and pricing. The approach emphasizes pre-work upfront, then AI-assisted execution, and finally human oversight to ensure the final output matches the original purpose and principles.
The Borehole That Built a Rocket
