It’s so funny watching these “visionary leaders” (CEOs, chief AI officers, etc) talk about how AI is the future and their differentiator. Then, you zoom out, and see all these unimaginative leaders talking about the same exact differentiator. Our clients pay us for good creative, and investing in teams ability and talent to create non-derivative, culturally impactful work is the only true differentiator. Also it’s illogical to think you can out compete the actual AI companies in AI.

They don’t care. They’re just looking to sell the next widget like they did with banner ads. And they’ll say anything to do it. Even though most clients want nothing to do with AI until copyrights and other legal unknowns are worked out.

I’m going to be as nice as i can to them while being honest: they don’t understand the technology, and it’s one that no matter how high you are in the org, you DO need to understand at a base level.

This feels like back in the day when your C-Suite didn’t know how to save to PDF. It’s not your biggest part of the job, but if you’re discussing it in a publication you need to know how to do it.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
