The 2025 State of Marketing AI Report by the Marketing AI Institute paints a vivid picture of a profession accelerating AI adoption but also stumbling under its weight.
The human side of AI adoption is often lost in all the hype about automation and efficiency. This report brings much needed attention to the emotional toll that comes from being thrown into the deep end without a life jacket.
P.S. Younger and cheaper - I see this everywhere now.
"68% of respondents say their companies provide no formal AI training." But they will hire someone younger and cheaper who knows how to use ChatGPT. That's the real tension point, I believe, between employer and employee.
We know in the back of our heads that at least 1/3 of employers would drop their people in a heartbeat if they can get a program or a younger, cheaper AI capable person to do it for them.

LOL, I will be replaced soon, Paul.
Happy Wednesday to you.
You? Replaced? Not possible. Besides, you’ll be in Barbados soon enough that it won’t matter.
This is true too. Thanks for the reminder Paul :)
When you go and establish your non-AI business there, you have to invite me to come for a visit. Please!!!!!
Oh I will Paul - Besides, the flight from Belize to Barbados is approx 6 hours so should be perfect :)
That is perfect. I visit you; you and your husband visit me.

I hate to say it, but you're right, Geoff.
