Scratch the surface here, and I think this Ogilvy person sounds very afraid.
Reminds me of how my puppy who hates trains, always wags her tail off at the train station. As if to say ‘oh yeah, it's gonna be fine, I'll wag away to look like I’m not terrified of these speeding monsters that I don't understand, yep, that's what I’ll do…
It’s happy clappy-bravado, made worse by made up ‘clever-clever’ words that only serve to insult our intelligence.
(’solutionists’… are you kidding me?)

Word salad
Why are you terrorizing your puppy by repeatedly taking her to a place she hates? (Yes, that was my big takeaway from this post…and I read the attached post).
I hope she’s able to overcome her fears and become a great support to you.

People just say “AI” without knowing what it means or giving any context to what it will do and get paid by these people.
Some of it is here to stay, but so much of it is just vaporware.
The author lacks enough self knowledge and self awareness to be afraid. These senior holding company, massive agency execs live in the most cosseted of secure bubbles. They make a lot of money doing little more than the birds that pick nits and ticks off the backs of rhinos, the rhino being the late stage capitalism consumer based consumption culture we live in. The joke in this article and similar "takes" is that these huge, lumbering holdcos/adcos hold some special creative, human centric emotional "elixir" you can't get anywhere else. That's the most laughable part. They stand for nothing. The stand for contorting themselves into whatever shape a prospective client or client wants them to be. But this deluded idiot doesn't get that either. These people always fail up, and I'm sure they will never know having to do real actual work, or thinking, for a living. But I think AI is going to cause these monoliths to struggle and falter, because AI + indie agency's + martech automation is going to make the need for big brands to seek out a massive, bloated, way too expensive (because of the corporate overhead and shareholder profit demands) is going the way of the Dodo. But by that point these execs will have moved on to being real estate sales ppl to the very wealthy or something, picking different nits and ticks off of a different flavor from the backs of the lumbering, overfed, land mammals lumbering through their 1% er trailways of humanitys dying ecosystems.

He says some things that are right and make sense. But this person is deluded thinking that holding companies and let alone Ogilvy are going to put people first and lead some creative revolution 🤣. This is like the zookeeper that gets mauled and eaten because he starts thinking the lion is his friend.
This dude is way overestimating humans.
Insufferable article. Seems like written by AI.
🤮
