Our agency has been forcing AI down our throats for a while now. I use it a ton and it’s starting to make my feel like it isn’t even my work anymore. Anyone else?
Don’t get me wrong - there’s a lot of work that goes into coding and prompting. And with timelines getting tighter AI gets things done faster. Not sure how to feel about it all but it feels pretty icky right now. Capitalism I guess?

I just keep hopefully telling myself that eventually the government will step in and regulate the use of AI - not out of the kindness of their heart, but because they can’t collect income tax on a machine. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Strategist 1 - I agree with your logic but the reality IMO is that most the work in our industry is already homogenized and unexceptional. And sadly most clients are ok with that. This “good enough” mindset is the bigger problem than the actual tech. The tech just lets them justify the same mediocre crap at a lower cost/faster speed

We’ve been prompted (sorry I had to) to use WPPs AI. Then, a few months ago, WPP rolled it out as a SaaS model. So essentially, we’ve been training our replacements. Oh brave new world…

“Coding”? Say more plz

Yeah - Problem definition, system design, logic and implementation. Typically I translate all of this into code because it’s the preferred language of LLMs. All to say it’s a complicated process to actually build useful agents / workflows. Leadership doesn’t seem to understand/respect this part and timelines don’t either.

You could ask the AI what makes your role necessary or how to stand out from others?

Be Proactive.
Look for a way to remain relevant or seen with value above AI. People do it everyday.

I know this feels like a lot but don't give in to the fear. It's just False Evidence Appearing Real.
Remember whatever you believe is True. Even lies.

Write down what you are grateful for and why.
You will see a shift in your gut feelings & success.

Peace.

Hello, I could use some advice regarding my compensation. I have 1year and 9 months of experience in social media as I worked with a multinational agency in the middle east.
