400 Versions, Zero Ideas 23.06.2026 26:13

12 to 25 times cheaper than your creative team, same quality — that's the pitch. The catch: AI can spin up 400 versions of an idea, but it can't have the idea. A consultancy's report claims agentic AI now matches human creative content, campaigns, research at a fraction of the cost. David and Manny treat it as exactly what it is a pitch from a company that sells the platforms and run i...

The hosts weigh the earned-media halo and the TikTok factor against the harder math — dwell, attr...

Wegmans is scanning faces at the door - and all it took to spark the backlash was the sign the law requires. A New York story about Wegmans using facial scanning to flag shoppers previously tied to misconduct kicks off a conversation about the cameras behind the screens.
