427. AI Is Smart. That Doesn't Mean It Should Be Your Strategist.

I read an article recently where someone proudly announced that AI had created their entire marketing strategy. At first glance, it sounds impressive. Faster, it's easier, it's cheaper. But my first thought wasn't, oh, my God, this is brilliant. It was this could be an absolute disaster.
