Here’s what many people miss: AI doesn’t eliminate the need for expertise. It *amplifies* the impact of those who truly know their craft. Think about it this way: A junior marketer using ChatGPT might produce serviceable, surface-level content. But a seasoned marketing professional? They bring: ? Years of industry knowledge ? Deep understanding of their audience ? Strategic insight that goes beyond text generation They know how to: * Craft prompts that reveal nuanced insights. * Critically assess AI outputs for relevance and quality. * Translate AI-generated ideas into meaningful, strategic action. The result? Work that’s smarter, faster, and more impactful. As AI reshapes industries, the winners won’t be those who resist AI OR those who rely on it entirely. Success will come to those who can blend human expertise with AI capabilities to achieve outcomes neither could accomplish alone.
