Episode Highlights:
“Copywriters need to stay on top of their game, and they need to prove their worth. But I don't think AI will take over their jobs. I think people need to find better ways of complementing it in these roles.” - 3:30 - Jen Campbell
“The main advantage you can have, as someone who's in the field to not get replaced by AI, is to embrace these AI tools as much as possible to level up your productivity, and really push yourself to adapt the use of these AI tools in your workflow.” - 6:25 - Jason Kapadia
“The amount of posts I already see about people turning their lives around with life coaches and trying to give me life advice, all they're going to do is put that into an AI generator, which is going to be more annoying. Will people stop thinking for themselves?” - 10:25 - Jen Campbell
“Unless Meta pushes those other use cases of potentially using it for productivity and all of that, I still think that it's going to be hard to get this product into more and more people's hands.” - 19:25 - Jason Kapadia
“Sorry to burst your bubble, Jason - I'll take any monetary bet that if they have the fight, your man is going down in the fourth round.” - 24:35 - Jag Sharma
“Who has the right to say something should be taken down? Where is the line there?” - 29:30 - Jag Sharma
“Newsrooms could print whatever they wanted, but if they wanted to redact it, they could just put a tiny little thing on page 20 of a newspaper and say, ‘Sorry, this fact was incorrect’. No one's going to read it. The damage is done, it's already out there. So this problem has been around forever.” - 32:10 - Jen Campbell
