I first delivered commentary on AI's radical disruption from the Opening Plenary stage at the AIA Leadership Summit in February 2023.
Some thought I was the radical one. Some still do.
Let's keep educating anyway. AI isn't going away. It's both awful and awe-inspiring. But here's the thing: YOU make it awe-inspiring. YOU with your human brain and agency.
You'll either drive it or weather it...
Vroom vroom.
For the record - AI did not write that so if you loved it, appreciate me. If you hated it, tell me I should have asked AI before publishing it.
You can assume that for most everything else you encounter - AI was my co-creator - except for the fun parts that I enjoy. I even started using em-dashes for pleasure.
I was DIY since birth by necessity. You too? You really should come to my seminars.
No marketing professionals were harmed in the making of this marketing material.
