Generative AI has shrunk the cost and time of drafting copy, creating layouts, and even storyboarding video from days to minutes. Finance chiefs are thrilled; productivity curves spike. Yet there’s a hidden side effect few balance sheets reflect: AI doesn’t just remove busywork—it removes training wheels. Ten years ago, a marketing graduate earned their stripes cleaning up product sheets or resizing ad banners -
Marketers woke up to a world where Chrome’s third-party cookies are wobbling, privacy laws tighten daily, and budgets refuse to shrink.

Everyone’s talking about AI. The feed is a highlight reel of demos, vendor claims, and “10x” anecdotes. If you carry a number, you need something different: a grounded view of where AI actually moves revenue, and where it burns cycles. This isn’t a tour of tools.
