Anyone else sick and tired of AI already?

Ok, I know I am gonna get a lot of criticism from all the AI fans out there but I have to voice my concerns. I'll do it through a couple of simple examples:

Example #1: A couple of weeks ago I was working with a startup that is doing a branding exercise. They joined a couple of design websites to get some ideas, including upwork, behance, and 99designs. Even at the top tier pricing, most of the recommendations they got were AI-created nonsense. I am not criticizing these companies. Both clients of mine and I personally have used all three. But what I am complaining about is the absolute laziness that AI has sparked in people. What happened to the joy of creative expression? I thought artists lived and died by their creativity? Now they are willing to throw that all away in favor of quick returns using AI-generated work.

Example #2: A client was working with their new digital marketing agency and they were reviewing copy to be used on social media ad placement. I just couldn't believe what I was reading. The content was uninspiring, not at all reflecting the business's value prop, and not tying to the ideal customer profile's needs.

I may be all alone at this point when I say this:

STOP USING AI FOR MARKETING!!!

People are cranking out crap content using AI just to drive up their content management numbers but you are really not doing yourselves any favors. No one needs canned, generic, computerized content.

Look, I'm not a dinosaur. I started coding in 1985 on a Timex Sinclair. My first class in college was assembly language using the 6502 microprocessor. I've seen more tech revolutions than most people on LInkedIn. Well, as we stand here with this big avalanche called AI about to hit all of us in the face, I urge all of you to please:

1- continue to use your creativity to write authentically

2- connect with your prospects and customers genuinely and using human connections

That's not to say AI doesn't have it's place. Google search has literally become obsolete overnight! But when it comes to connecting with people, nothing beats human connections!
