[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In-Ear Insights, let’s talk about authenticity in the age of AI. One of the things that I do, Katie, as you know, is I do a daily video series. I actually batch do it on Sundays when I’m cooking dinner for my family, because I have two hours in the kitchen of otherwise spent time cooking. And I have seen this question asked more than any other question in the marketing channels of Reddit. And it drives me up a wall every time I see it. And so I thought I would give it to you just for fun, which is how can I use AI automation to automate my LinkedIn presence while still remaining authentic? Katie Robbert: You can’t. Christopher S. Penn: That’s what I said. No. Katie Robbert: All right, the podcast is over. You can’t. Next. I mean, here’s the thing. That’s an oxymoron, or whatever other way you want to say these two things are not aligned. You can’t automate your way into authenticity. I’m sorry, you just can’t. And I know, Chris, you are a huge fan of automating as much as humanly possible, but for you, there’s an authenticity in that. There is an expectation that Christopher S. Penn is going to be part cyborg, part robotic. And I mean that in all seriousness, as part of your professional brand. That’s authentic. People expect that if you were to open up your head, there would be a computer panel in there, and that’s just part of your brand that you’ve built for you. That’s authentic. But there’s still a stamp of you as the human and your take and your thoughts and your feelings about things that are a common thread across all of your content. If you haven’t built that as part of your professional brand, your personal brand, whatever brand you have as part cyborg, then automating yourself into authenticity isn’t going to happen. If I started doing that, people would think that I had probably—what do they say?—been unalived, and Chris was trying to put in the simulated version of Katie so that nobody knew. It’s not something that would work for someone like me because it’s not part of my brand. You can’t throw in automation and say, “But also keep it authentic.” Christopher S. Penn: And yet that is probably the top question in the marketing subreddit, in the social media marketing subreddit, et cetera. People want to phone it in. Katie Robbert: They do want to phone it in because you get so much more done. Now here’s the thing. I was telling you guys last week that I was using Claude Cowork to draft a bunch of articles that I’ve been posting on LinkedIn. I had one drop as of the time of this recording, my second one dropped. And it’s talking about the way in which we’re approaching training. Yes, I’ve used generative AI to help me pull that information together. But I, the human, still have to go through the article, I have to edit the article to make sure it’s my voice, things that I would say. What I’m doing with these automations that I’m building is I’m just expediting the data gathering from the exact same data that I, the human, would have been looking at. But instead, I’m letting the machine do the pattern matching faster and I’m saying, “Oh yeah, that is what I’m looking at,” or “No, that isn’t what I thought this was going to be.” So that’s really how I’m automating with AI, but I’m still keeping it authentic to me. I would like to believe, Chris, that you don’t read those articles and go, “Katie didn’t write that. That’s not her point of view. That’s not what she would say about this. She’s not saying put human first. That’s not her.” Christopher S. Penn: Here’s where I think a lot of the problems begin, is that people are automating, and you can see this by the sheer number of comments you get on your LinkedIn posts and things that are clearly phoned in by someone’s software. There are problems across the spectrum here. One of them, and this is a pretty obvious one, is that the people who create the software packages to do this are using the cheapest models possible because they want high speed, not high quality. And as a result, you get very weird language out of these bots that someone called “answer-shaped answers.” They don’t actually say anything; they just kind of look like answers. It’s like, “Great insight, Katie, that process,” and it just does a one-sentence summary of your post and doesn’t add anything and adds some weird emoji. So there’s a technological problem, but I think the bigger problem is—and if we go back to the 5P framework by Trust Insights—it feels like they don’t know why they’re doing it. They just know that they just need to make stuff, so there’s no purpose. And it’s unclear what the performance is in terms of an actual business outcome other than making stuff. Katie Robbert: This is interesting. It goes deeper than just AI technology. We as humans sort of—gosh, it is way too early for me to be trying to get this deep, but let me give it a shot anyway. I often think when you say we don’t know why we’re doing it, we’re just supposed to. That is a human condition. I think about people who enter into certain careers or enter into certain relationships and then you look and you go, “But they’re not happy. Why are they doing that?” Because they don’t know, because they’ve been told they have to. Because that’s how it goes. Because that’s what they are obligated to do for whatever reason. And I feel like if you take that human condition and then you apply this pressure of artificial intelligence, and everybody’s moving fast and everybody’s doing it, and if all of your friends jumped off the AI cliff, would you also jump off the AI cliff? And you’re like, “Yes, absolutely, because I don’t want to be left out.” That’s sort of where we’re at. And so people are struggling to figure out how they could and should be using artificial intelligence because everybody else is. I got a call yesterday from my mother-in-law, and she was asking me, “Do you think that this is going away?” And I was like, “Is what going away?” She goes, “AI.” And I was like, “It’s not. Unfortunately or fortunately, whatever side you’re on, it’s not going anywhere.” It’s only going to continue to advance. Now, I talk about it like it’s a piece of software. It is a piece of software. But this piece of software is different from other software in the sense that it is doing things for you that you previously had to do for yourself. And people are finding that convenience very handy. But back to your original question, Chris. It removes the authenticity from what you’re doing. So, oh, gosh, maybe a kitchen example, which is one that we like to go through. You can get takeout from a fancy restaurant, you can get the ingredients shipped to you from a meal packing company, or you can go to the store and buy all the stuff yourself and do your own measurements and spices. Each version of that, you’re going to create the same dish, but you’re going to get different results because of how it was created and the skill set that was used to create the dish. So let’s say it’s lasagna. Your lasagna may be a little more rustic, maybe a little less polished, but it’s authentic because you made it. The one you get from the meal kit is probably kind of mediocre because the ingredients are all weighed out and all precise and there’s really no wiggle room to add your own stamp into it. And then you get the expert level, which comes from the five-star restaurant. And they’re going to have their own stamp on it, but it’s the expertise level. And so it may taste outstanding, but you can’t recreate it because you’re not at that skill level. I sort of feel like people are trying to find which version of cooking a lasagna is going to work best for them, and they’re kind of mixing up some of the steps and some of the ingredients, and they’re getting those weird answer-shaped answers. Christopher S. Penn: And I think there’s the added layer of they want it to taste like the restaurant made, but they don’t want to pay for it. Katie Robbert: Right. Christopher S. Penn: And they don’t want to wait, and they don’t want to put the effort in. So they’re trying to do fast, cheap, and good, all three at the same time. And that typically is very difficult to do. You can use AI capably in an automated fashion, even on social media. However, it’s not a piece of software you buy off the shelf. It’s not something that, to your point when we started out, is always going to be on brand, nor is it going to have the background information necessary that you would need to generate stuff that’s going to be authentic in the sense of this is something that you would actually say. There’s a lot of stuff that sort of clanks around in our brains that is not going to be explicitly declared in a piece of software. So you and I have been working, for example, on a project to create sort of digital twins of ourselves, the co-CEO we’ve mentioned a number of times. These are good as decision-making assistants or a second set of eyes on things. But even with a tremendous amount of data, they still don’t capture a lot of who we are because a lot of the time, things like our failures don’t make it into those tools. I was writing my newsletter on Saturday, and the first draft sucked. I’m like, “Well, this sucks. And I’m not even sure what the point was. I forget what I was trying to write about.” I ended up going a completely different direction with mostly the same ideas, but totally reorganized. That failure is not recorded anymore. At no point is there a prompt that can encapsulate me going, “What the hell am I even doing? Why did I write this and pivot rapidly?” And so if we’re trying to create these automations in social media, that information is not there. Katie Robbert: Well, to expand upon that point about the digital twins and trying to find that authenticity within the automation, I look at something like the co-CEO, and we have given it a lot of my writing. We have given it a lot of the ways that I would make decisions in the 5P framework and that kind of thing. Nowhere in that background information do we give it the context of why I needed to create the 5P framework or why I manage people the way that I do, and the experiences that I’ve had of being managed poorly, or the trauma of working in a corporate environment and being reduced to fixing people’s billing hours to make sure that they all line up and you can bill the client exactly 40 hours or whatever it is they’ve contracted for. And that is all that you have the authority to do. That information doesn’t live in the co-CEO. My sarcasm doesn’t live in the co-CEO. My unhinged thinking or sometimes letting the thing that you’re not supposed to say out loud come out doesn’t live in the co-CEO. But those are things that make me authentic as a human. My messy background isn’t in the co-CEO. And the reason my background is messy is because I have a very large dog behind me that is actually the boss of everything. And so that’s her domain, but those things don’t make it in. And I think that’s what we’re forgetting. To your point, we’re giving these automated systems all of the positives, all of the things that work, because that’s how AI has to work. You can’t say, “All right, every few days build in a failure point and then figure out how to fix it and learn from that and grow from that and become a stronger automated version of Chris from that.” That’s just not how those systems work. That’s how the human works, and we have to learn from those things. You’re missing that whole layer of the human experience, and that’s the authenticity. Christopher S. Penn: Probably for another time, but what you just described does exist now. It is a very high technical bar to implement, but it does exist and people are using it. And believe me, they’re not using it for social media posting. Katie Robbert: But when I think about that technology existing, to your point, you said there’s a high technical bar. I’m speaking for the everyday person. Our expectation is we’re not going to open ChatGPT and say, “Do this task, but fail five times and then on the sixth time, get it right.” Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, that’s correct. These things are highly experimental and maybe that’s again a topic for another time about where the technology is going because some very interesting, kind of strange things are going on. So getting back to the idea of authenticity versus AI, when the 8,900th person asks me this question, there’s a couple different answers. One, if you want to automate something and have it be authentic, create a robot account. Create an account that says, “Hi, I’m an AI robot.” So that people are very clear that’s an AI robot answering. And there’s never a doubt in anyone’s mind that it’s masquerading as human. Because what we ultimately want to do is disclose this is a machine, so that you have a choice as the user if you want to take into account what the machine is having to say. And the second thing is using it as a companion, if you install Chrome’s new Web MCP or the variety of other new tools that have arrived in the automation ecosystem. So that you can say, “Here’s the comment I’m thinking about leaving on Katie’s new post on LinkedIn. What did I miss? Or what would make this comment stronger? Or what would provoke a more interesting discussion?” And using the tool not as the one doing the work, but as the second set of eyes as you’re interacting online to make you a smarter human. Katie Robbert: I know we’re using it as an example, but my first thought is, why do you need AI to do that in the first place? Why can’t you, the human, just read the article and leave your comment? And I guess that’s a whole other topic of, and we’ve talked about it in various contexts, but just because you can use AI doesn’t mean you should. And this is one of those instances where I’m just sort of baffled of why would you need AI to do this particular task? It should be—I’m not saying it is, but it should be strictly human. And your opinion. Christopher S. Penn: Ben Affleck has the answer for you. Katie Robbert: Oh boy. Christopher S. Penn: In a recent conversation—I think it was actually an interview with Matt Damon—it was about their new movie on Netflix. And one of the things that they said in filmmaking that has gotten very challenging for writers and directors to deal with is the directive from, in this case, Netflix, from the studio that said you must have a character actively restate the plot of the movie up to that point because people are not paying attention. They don’t watch, they don’t listen, they don’t read. And so you have to have a character literally say out loud, “Hey, here’s what’s happened so far.” So that when someone pulls their attention away from their phone for two minutes to tune into the movie, they know what’s going on. Like you published your article this morning on LinkedIn. It is a lengthy article. It is not a short, quippy piece. And the reality is people do not read in depth and retain in the same way that they used to. And this is not an AI thing. There was a very interesting study that came out a year and a half ago saying that short-form video, TikToks and Reels and stuff like that, causes bizarre rearrangement in the brain to the point where it materially damages memory. There’s another paper that came out last week. There was a first randomized controlled trial of ChatGPT in education that said it causes substantial cognitive deskilling. So to your question, why wouldn’t a human just read it and comment as a human? A fair number of people appear to be losing the— Katie Robbert: skill to do that, which is mind-boggling. But I guess that’s not for me to comment on or pass judgment on. But I feel like you’re describing two different things. One is, “Hey AI, summarize this longer article for me.” That’s one use case. The other use case is, “Hey AI, draft a response for me.” Summarizing that article, I think, is a fine use case for AI. But, “Hey AI, I didn’t read the article. Draft a response for me.” Don’t do that. Read the article. Even if you have to use that summarization, that’s fine. But don’t let AI speak for you. Christopher S. Penn: And yet. Katie Robbert: I know. I’ve often been called an idealist, and I get why people say that about me. But it is baffling to me. Maybe I’m in a unique position—I don’t think I am—to be saying that. But I don’t see how you can have AI do it for you and keep it authentic. I don’t think there’s enough from my point of view, and I could be wrong. I’m sure you’re going to tell me that I’m wrong. But from my point of view, there isn’t enough information that you could give one of these systems about yourself to ever have it truly be an authentic version of yourself. Because you’d have to upload things like your childhood memories, your patterns of thinking, which is something, Chris, we were talking about the other day, which is a whole other fascinating topic that we should dig into another time. First of all, you have to have self-awareness to be able to speak to those things in a coherent, credible way. And second, you have to have enough of that information. And I feel like all you would be doing is maintaining that machine as you live your life as a human and saying, “Okay, today I had this experience. This is how I felt and thought about this thing.” A lot of people don’t know how they feel and think about everything that’s happening to them. That’s why therapy exists. How are you going to put that into a machine? Christopher S. Penn: And yet people are. Katie Robbert: I know, but that’s what I mean. You can’t do it in such a way that you’re truly going to have an authentic version. Christopher S. Penn: Right. So I guess the question there is what is authentic enough? Clearly what most people are running now in terms of the software to do these automated comments is not enough. Katie Robbert: Right. Christopher S. Penn: When you get, “Hey Katie, great insights, rocket ship.” However, given the relatively low stakes of leaving random weird comments on places like LinkedIn, what is the bar of authenticity? Because we know obviously there’s the fully authentic experience, there’s the fully robotic, clearly machine-made experience, and then there’s this large gray zone in the middle. Where is that line, I guess, is the question. And then the secondary question is, is there a point where it is acceptable for the machine to reach that line? And it be a useful contribution to the conversation and discussion. As our friend Brook Sells likes to say, think conversation. Katie Robbert: Well, here’s the thing. It’s going to look different for everybody. Believe it or not, there are people who respond in that manner that sounds like AI because it’s what they’ve learned. It’s what they know. It’s a comfort zone for them. My recommendation is, if you are considering automating some of these things, is to do a little bit of AB testing outside of actually going live. So, for example, Chris, when some of the video tools and some of the graphics AI systems were coming about, you were experimenting with avatars of you speaking, and I immediately clocked it as, “Well, that’s not Chris Penn,” because I know you well enough. And so it’s a good AB test to give two pieces of content, short-form, long-form, whatever, to someone who knows you well and say, “Can you tell which of these I wrote and which of these the machine wrote?” And if they can’t tell, then you’ve gotten to a point of authenticity that is passable enough for you to put it on social media. But if it’s immediately, “Oh, yeah, that one’s AI,” then you’re not there yet. And I think that it’s going to look different for everybody. But it’s a good exercise to see, number one, where is that line for you? And number two, do you know yourself well enough to be able to program the machines in a way to say, “This is what I sound like. This isn’t what I sound like.” Christopher S. Penn: Yeah. Which is, if you want to do it well, is an extensive process, of course, not something you do in one paragraph. Katie Robbert: And I think that again, you sort of pick and choose those guardrails to say, “And this is where I will let AI speak for me. And this is not where I will let AI speak for me.” You have to make those choices, because the more control you give to the machine, the more risk you’re introducing into your brand, because machines go off the rails, they hallucinate, they say things that you may not have ever said in your entire life. And if you are not supervising them, if you are not QAing them, then how do you walk that back and be like, “Oh, the machine said that, not me.” Christopher S. Penn: Nobody’s going to believe you. The counterpoint to that—and this is again a topic for another time, but is worth thinking here—is what happens when the machine makes a better you than you are. We both know people who speak entirely in jargon. You can talk to them for 45 minutes. You’re like, “What the hell did that person just say? That was just babble. They were just stringing words together. Playing buzzword bingo.” I could see a case where an AI version of that person would actually be an improvement on that person. Then when you talk to the real person, you’re like, “You’re not the same person. You’re much dumber.” Katie Robbert: But I feel like that’s—now, to your point, that’s a different conversation. Because if you’re saying authenticity, then the bot version of a person better sound just as confused. It needs to be speaking in riddles and never getting to a point all the time. But yes, there’s probably a better version of me. A more focused, a more coherent, a more straight-to-the-point bot version of me that could be created. And I can see that’s sort of where we’re taking the co-CEO. It’s not to diminish what I bring to the table. And it’s not to say the bot is smarter, but the bot doesn’t have to be distracted by things like, “Oh, the dog needs to go out right now,” or “I’m hungry,” or “I have to take a phone call.” Those distractions don’t exist in that virtual world. And that already makes that bot version of me superior because they don’t have to have those human experiences that pull away from their core focus. So I would absolutely have that conversation about what a better version entails. And I think that when we say “better,” we need to put that in quotes because that doesn’t always mean that you, the human, are then diminished. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, exactly.

Ryan Petersen, CEO of Flexport, joins Mike Beckham and Sean Frank for an emergency briefing on the tariff landscape after the Supreme Court's landmark ruling. Specifically, what ecommerce owners need to do right now.They break down how to file for tariff refunds before entries hit liquidation, including the secondary market where brands are selling claims for cents on the dollar. Then the conversation shifts to the Iran conflict and what a closed Strait of Hormuz means for container shipping, airfreight capacity, and oil prices.They close out with a candid look at the AI age of wonder — from cutting customs error rates to writing a children's book with Claude Code and Midjourney in an afternoon.Powered ByFulfilhttps://bit.ly/3pAp2vuAftersellhttps://9ops.co/4i3bb5Richpanel https://9ops.co/richpanelNorthbeam https://www.northbeam.io/Saras Analytics https://bit.ly/9OP-YtdescPostscript https://9ops.co/postscriptOperators Newsletter https://9operators.com/

Dans ce 150ème épisode de DigitalFeeling, je vous partage les résultats du 6e Baromètre des Soft Skills 2026 – Lefebvre Dalloz Compétences (553 professionnels, tous secteurs).Soft Skills et Intelligence Artificielle : pourquoi les entreprises misent sur l'Humain en 2026L'intelligence artificielle rend-elle les soft skills obsolètes ? Bien au contraire. Le 6e Baromètre des Soft Skills 2026, réalisé par Lefebvre Dalloz Compétences auprès de 553 professionnels tous secteurs confondus, révèle une tendance contre-intuitive mais limpide : plus les entreprises adoptent l'IA, plus elles investissent dans les compétences humaines. Soft Skills en 2026 : le signal fort que personne n'attendaitQuand la conjoncture se durcit, on pourrait s'attendre à ce que les entreprises coupent dans les formations au profit des compétences techniques. C'est exactement l'inverse qui se produit.• 55 % des entreprises ont déployé au moins une formation aux soft skills au cours de l'année écoulée, soit 11 points de plus qu'en 2025.• 65 % prévoient de le faire dans les 12 prochains mois.• L'écart entre les intentions et les actions réelles est passé de 22 points en 2023 à seulement 6 points en 2026.Ce dernier chiffre est peut-être le plus significatif : les entreprises ne se contentent plus de déclarer l'importance des soft skills, elles passent à l'acte.Pourquoi l'IA rend les Soft Skills indispensablesC'est le paradoxe le plus contre-intuitif de cette édition : l'intelligence artificielle ne fragilise pas les compétences humaines, elle les rend encore plus nécessaires.La logique est implacable. Plus vous déléguez les tâches techniques et répétitives à l'IA, plus vos collaborateurs doivent se concentrer sur ce qui les rend irremplaçables :• La capacité à communiquer et à convaincre• L'exercice du sens critique• La créativité et l'adaptabilité• L'intelligence relationnelle et l'écouteEt il y a un facteur souvent sous-estimé : l'IA nécessite l'expertise humaine pour être véritablement maîtrisée. Le prompting, par exemple, est une vraie méthodologie. Sans cette touche humaine, vous avez simplement souscrit un abonnement que personne n'utilise vraiment — ou que vos équipes utilisent mal.La peur de l'IA recule : place à l'opportunitéEn 2025, les entreprises formaient leurs équipes pour gérer l'anxiété du changement. En 2026, l'objectif a changé : il s'agit désormais d'exploiter les opportunités que l'IA offre.L'adaptabilité (numéro 1 en 2025) est désormais en 7e position — non pas parce qu'elle est moins importante, mais parce qu'elle est acquise. Communication, écoute et créativité arrivent en tête en 2026. On ne cherche plus à survivre à l'IA. On apprend à l'utiliser intelligemment. L'Évaluation des Soft Skills : une pratique généralisée52 % des entreprises sont en train de déployer ou ont déjà déployé des outils d'évaluation des soft skills en 2026, contre seulement 19 % en 2025. Ces compétences ne sont plus perçues comme un "nice to have", mais comme un vrai levier de performance — y compris dans les PME et ETI.Le déclencheur L'évolution de l'organisation du travail65 % des entreprises déclarent avoir formé leurs équipes aux soft skills dans le contexte d'une évolution de l'organisation du travail. La généralisation du travail hybride est citée par 48 % des répondants en 2026, contre 29 % l'an dernier.La perception a radicalement changé : les soft skills ne sont plus vues comme un avantage bien-être offert aux équipes. Elles sont devenues un outil opérationnel pour travailler efficacement ensemble.Le paradoxe du ManagementC'est là que le bât blesse. Le baromètre révèle un paradoxe inquiétant :• 65 % des managers sont principalement sensibilisés aux enjeux de l'IA.• 76 % se forment en lien avec ces technologies.• Mais seulement 18 % identifient le développement des soft skills comme une priorité dans le contexte de l'IA.Si les managers ne voient pas l'intérêt de développer ces compétences dans leurs équipes, la priorité affichée au CODIR restera sur le papier. C'est le paradoxe central de ce baromètre.Ce que vous pouvez faire maintenantNe pas attendre que cette conviction redescende naturellement dans votre organisation. Quelques pistes concrètes :1. Cartographier les soft skills critiques dans votre contexte métier, en lien avec vos usages IA actuels.2. Former les managers en priorité — pas seulement aux outils, mais à leur rôle d'accompagnement humain dans la transformation.3. Mesurer pour valoriser : intégrer des outils d'évaluation des soft skills pour objectiver leur impact.4. Relier formation IA et formation humaine dans un parcours cohérent, plutôt que de les traiter comme deux sujets séparés. Conclusion : L'IA comme catalyseur de l'HumainLe message de ce baromètre est clair et encourageant : l'IA n'est pas la fin des soft skills, c'est leur renaissance. Elle force les organisations à clarifier ce que les humains apportent vraiment — et à investir sérieusement pour développer ces capacités.La vraie question n'est plus "faut-il former aux soft skills ?" mais : comment articuler intelligemment formation humaine et formation à l'IA pour que les deux se renforcent mutuellement ?

In this episode, I speak with Guido Callegari, who shares how discovering generative AI in 2022 completely reshaped his creative career. After 15 years working as an art director in advertising, he began experimenting with tools like Midjourney and Runway, eventually becoming a creative partner with multiple AI platforms and collaborating on projects for global brands.We explore what many people misunderstand about AI creativity, why prompts alone don't create great work, and how human taste, curiosity, and experience remain the defining ingredients of meaningful creative output.We DiscussThe biggest mistake people make when using generative AI toolsThe difficulty of generating authentic emotion with AI Why creative identity and personal taste still define great work The role of failure and experimentation in mastering AI tools How Guido collaborates with other creators and shares knowledge Ethical responsibilities when creating with AI Why young creators today have unprecedented opportunities to share their voiceKey TakeawaysThe tools can generate images and videos quickly, but the real value comes from the concept, vision, and intention behind the work.Producing visuals is easy. Producing something that feels personal and meaningful is much harder.Film knowledge, photography, music, and art history all influence how creators work with AI systems.Many creative breakthroughs come from unexpected results during experimentation.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about AI and the way the things that we are measuring in business to measure AIs, the productivity, the benefits that you’re getting out of it. One of my favorite apps, Katie, is called Blind. This is an anonymous confessions app for the business world where people who work at companies—mostly in big business and big tech—share anonymous confessions. They have to say what company they’re with, but that’s it. There were three posts that really caught my eye over the weekend. The first was from a person who works at Capital One bank who said, “Hi, I’m a junior software engineer.” Three years into my career, my co‑workers are pumping out so many poll requests with Claude code and blitzing through jobs that used to take three to five days in less than an hour. I feel like every day at the office is a race to see who can generate more poll requests and complete them than anyone else. The second one was from JP Morgan Chase saying, “I just downloaded Claude coat and wtf. I don’t know what to think. Either we are cooked or saved.” The third was from an engineer at Tesla who said, “I joined recently as a contractor and don’t have access to Claude. I’m slower than the others on my team and it stresses me out.” So my question to you is this, Katie: Obviously people are using generative AI to move very fast. However, I don’t know if fast is the metric that we should be looking at here, particularly since a lot of people who manage coders don’t necessarily manage them well. They don’t. For example, very famously, Elon Musk, when he took over Twitter, fired people who didn’t write enough code. He measured people’s productivity solely on lines of code written. Anyone who’s actually written code for a living knows you want less code written rather than more because there’s a certain amount of elegance to writing less code. So my question to you is, as we talk about AI proficiency—sort of AI proficiency week here at Trust Insights—what would you tell people who are managing people using AI about measuring their proficiency and measuring the results that they’re getting? Katie Robbert: So first, let me answer your question. No, I do not frequent—was it Blind? Yeah. Anyone who knows me knows that I am honest and direct to a fault. So no, that would annoy me more than anything—just say it to my face. But that aside, I understand why apps like that exist. Not every company builds a culture where an open‑door policy is actually true. The policy is: the door is open only if you have positive things to share; the door is closed if you have complaints. I sympathize with people who feel the need to turn to those kinds of apps to express concern, frustration, fear. It seems, Chris, that a lot of the fear over the past couple of years is: “Will AI take my job?” In those environments, leadership decisions about process and output are really pushing for AI to take the job. What I’m not seeing is what the success metrics are. If the metric is faster and more, then you’re missing the third most important one—quality. We don’t know what kind of quality is being produced. Given those short snippets of context, we can assume it’s probably mediocre. It’s probably slightly above the bar, but nothing outstanding—enough to get by, enough to keep the lights on. For some larger companies, that’s fine because you can bury mediocre work in the politics and red tape of an enterprise‑sized organization. No one really expects much more, which is a little sad. So what I would say to managers is, number one, if you’re not clear on what you’re being measured on, or if your success metric is faster and more, head for the hills—run. That is not good. I mean it in all sincerity; that is not going to serve you in the long run because those metrics are not sustainable. Christopher S. Penn: And yet that’s what—particularly at a bigger company—where I can definitely, obviously at a company like Trust Insights, we’re four people. Outcomes are something we all measure because we have a direct line to outcomes. If we sell more courses, book more keynote speeches, get more retainer clients, we all have a hand in that and can see very clearly the business outcome. At a company like JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, or Capital One, there are hundreds of thousands of employees. Your line of sight to any kind of business outcome is probably five layers of management removed. The front line is way over there—tellers, for example. You write the software that writes the software that manages the system the tellers use. So you don’t have clear outcomes from a business‑level perspective. Because I used to work at places like AT&T where you are just a cog in the machine, your outcomes very often are either faster or more because no one knows what else to measure. Katie Robbert: In companies like that, those outcomes are—quote, unquote—good enough because of the nature of what you produce. Consumers have become so dependent on your company that we often talk about the really crappy customer service at cable and Internet providers. There are only so many of them, and they’re all the same. We have become reliant on that technology and have no choice but to put up with crappy service from the big providers. The same goes for the financial industry. We don’t have a choice other than to rely on these crappy companies because we aren’t equipped to stand up our own financial institutions and change the rules. It’s a big, old industry, and that’s why they operate the way they do. It’s disheartening. When it comes down to humans, you have to make your own personal choices. Are you okay contributing to the mediocrity of the company and never really advancing? Chris, what you’ve been saying—what is the art of the possible? They don’t know, but they also don’t care. They’re not looking to disrupt the industry. No other companies are starting up to disrupt them because they’re so massive; they’re okay with the status quo, changing at a glacial pace, if at all. It’s not a great story to tell. You might have a consistent paycheck, but you might not have a lot of passion for the work you do. It might just be clock in at nine, clock out at five, with two 15‑minute breaks and a 30‑minute lunch—and that’s fine for a lot of people. That works for survival. Outside of that work environment is where you find joy, passion, and the things you’re really interested in. All to say, the advice I would give to managers is: how much are you willing to put up with? Those industries aren’t going to change. Christopher S. Penn: So in the context of AI proficiency, what do you advise them to focus on? Knowing that, to your point, these places are so calcified, faster is one of the only benchmarks that matter, alongside constantly shrinking budgets. Cheaper is built in because you have to do 5 % less every year. How do you suggest a manager or employee who feels the fastest typist wins the day and gets the promotion—even if the quality is zero—handle this? The Tesla engineer example is interesting: they don’t have access to generative AI, co‑workers do, they’re much faster, and the contractor fears being fired. How do we resolve this for team members, knowing that these companies are so calcified that even if a department takes a stand on quality, the other twenty departments competing for budget will say, “Great, you focus on quality; we’ll take your budget because we’ll produce ten times more next year.” Even quality sucks. Katie Robbert: The Tesla example is an outlier. We don’t have context for why that person doesn’t have access to generative AI—maybe they’re brand new. Contractors don’t get access to paid tools, so that explains it. When we talk about levels of AI proficiency, generic training doesn’t work; it doesn’t stick. Companies and individuals need to assess their AI proficiency. We typically do this on a six‑point scale, from Basic to Advanced. Within each level are skill sets: Level 1—editing, correcting grammar, asking it to write code. Level 2—writing code and reading code. Level 3—building QA plans. Level 4—providing business or product requirements, agile cues, or building a project plan. It’s like a career path: today I’m a junior analyst, tomorrow I want to be a senior analyst. The same applies to AI proficiency. My recommendation for managers and individuals stuck in those situations—or anyone looking to level up their AI proficiency—is to look at what’s next, what you don’t know. In the case of Tesla or JP Morgan, they will only produce a limited variety of things. In banking, look at the use cases and how you’re using AI. If you’re building code, how do you automate while keeping a human in the loop? Human‑in‑the‑loop means literal human intervention; you’re not just setting it and forgetting it like a rotisserie chicken. You must ensure a human is paying attention. Perhaps your KPIs aren’t quality of output, but if you start delivering incorrect work, customers complain, and the company loses money, the quality of your output will suddenly matter. It doesn’t matter how fast you’re creating it. For the Tesla contractor who lacks internal AI tools, they can get access to their own tools and build their skill set: acknowledge they’re not as fast as full‑time employees, determine what they need to do to match or outpace them, and work on it in their own time if they care. In that instance, the person is worried about job security, so it’s probably in their best interest to act. Christopher S. Penn: I like how you analogize the six levels to basically the three levels of management. The first two levels are individual contributors; the next two are middle management; the final two are leadership—going from typing the thing to delegating it entirely to someone else. That’s a great analogy. I think after this episode I’m going to revise that chart to help people wrap their brains around it. What does the level of AI performance efficiency mean? It means you go from individual contributor to leader, eventually leading machines—not necessarily humans. The Tesla example worries me because the company is essentially asking contractors to bring their own AI tools—a data‑privacy and security nightmare. Still, when I think about our clients who engage us for AI readiness assessments, we see a hierarchy of people with different proficiency levels outpacing each other. Is it fair to say that people with more proficiency—or who invest more in themselves—will blow past peers who are not? Do those peers need to worry about career viability when a peer becomes a mythical 10× engineer or marketer? Katie Robbert: The short answer is yes, but that’s true in any career path. Unless you’re in a company that promotes someone based on appearance rather than ability, which is another conversation, it’s absolutely true. Levels of AI proficiency run in parallel with organizational maturity. AI proficiency can’t stand alone without a certain amount of maturity within the organization. We often talk about foundations—the five Ps: documented processes, platforms, good governance, and privacy. Those have to exist for someone to be set up for success and move through AI proficiency levels. Otherwise, they’re becoming proficient against creative garbage. That won’t translate to better career opportunities because, boiled down, it’s garbage in, garbage out—you become proficient at moving garbage around, and nobody wants to hire that. Christopher S. Penn: An essay from last year discussed the AI reckoning in larger companies. It said AI is doing what decades of management consulting couldn’t—showcasing as you apply AI to processes. Entire levels of management are unnecessary, doing nothing but holding meetings and sending emails. The essay posited that mid‑level managers may realize they only push paper from point A to point B. In those cases, what should people in those positions think about for their own AI proficiency, knowing that improving it will reveal that they add little value? Katie Robbert: As someone who’s spent most of her career managing, I’ve often had to defend my role. Once, an agency considered dissolving my position because they thought I didn’t bring anything to the table—obviously not true. The team that grew from three people to a $3 million profit center also knows that. Managers need to think about delegation: not just handing off tasks, but ensuring the right people are in the right seats. Coaching is a big part of the job—bringing people up through their proficiency levels. If I’m a middle manager using the individual‑contributor, manager, leadership matrix, how do I get out of that vulnerable middle spot? Maybe I need to create more workflows, find efficiencies, save the budget, identify level‑one champions, and build them up. Those are the things someone in that middle vulnerable section should consider, because they are vulnerable. Many companies have managers who don’t do squat. I’ve worked alongside those managers; it’s maddening. One thing that will evolve with the manager role is that you can no longer be just a manager. You can’t just manage things; you have to bring some level of individual contribution and thought leadership to the role. It’s no longer enough to just manage—if that makes sense. Christopher S. Penn: It makes sense. Over the weekend I was working on something for myself: as technology evolves and I delegate more to it, the guardrails for quality have to get stricter. I revised the rules I use with my Python coding agents—new, enhanced, advanced rules with more guidelines and descriptions about what the agent is and is not allowed to do. This morning my kickoff process broke, so I told the agent to fix it according to the new rules. I realized the previous application sucked, and I fixed it. Now it’s much happier. I think building quality guardrails will differentiate managers who take on AI management—not just people management. Yes, AI can be faster, but there’s no guarantee it’s better. If I’m a manager who gets faster and better results than peers who just hope it works, I keep my job. What do you think about that angle? Katie Robbert: It makes sense. Take the middle‑manager example: the VP says, “Client needs these five things.” The hierarchy follows—manager, then individual contributors. The middle person can step up, create a process, develop a proof‑of‑concept example based on the VP’s input, delegate with quality assurance, and cut down iterations. That saves time, saves budget, gets results faster, and reduces frustration because expectations are clear. Christopher S. Penn: The axiom we talk about when discussing AI optimization is bigger, better, faster, cheaper. Faster obviously saves time and money. We don’t often talk about bigger and better—doing things that add value that wasn’t there before. The value you create should be higher quality. To wrap up AI proficiency, we have three divisions, six levels, and a focus: if you’re worried about someone else being faster, be as fast and be better quality. Cutting corners for speed will catch up to you.

This week on the Artist Academy Podcast, I'm diving into a topic artists keep asking about lately—AI. I decided to put three of the most talked-about platforms—ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and MidJourney—to the test and see how they actually perform when used inside a real mural workflow. In this episode, I'm sharing how I use AI in my own mural business to create faster mockups, refine concepts, generate references, and save time without letting it replace my creativity. If you've been curious about using AI as an artist, this is my honest breakdown of what each platform does best, where each one falls short, and how to use them in a way that still feels ethical and true to your work.www.artistacademy.com

Companies Complying with or Directly Impacted by Transparency Laws Major generative AI developers are broadly subject to AB 2013, which requires them to publicly disclose high-level summaries of the datasets used to train their models.OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google were among the first companies to voluntarily comply with the law, publishing the required training data documentation on their websites when the law took effect on January 1, 2026.Meta is also heavily impacted by these laws and is frequently cited for its extensive efforts to harvest public and copyrighted data across the internet to train its foundation models.Companies Actively Challenging the LawxAI (founded by Elon Musk) is the primary company fighting the legislation. In late December 2025, xAI filed a federal lawsuit against California Attorney General Rob Bonta to block the enforcement of AB 2013. xAI argues that forcing it to disclose its training data constitutes an unconstitutional taking of its trade secrets and violates its First Amendment rights. In March 2026, a federal judge denied xAI's request for a preliminary injunction to halt the law.Separately, xAI is under investigation by the California Attorney General and received a cease-and-desist letter over its AI chatbot, Grok. The tool's "spicy mode" has allegedly been used to generate nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfakes and child sexual abuse material.Companies Sued Over AI Training Data and Copyright The push for transparency laws like AB 2013 and AB 412 stems largely from a massive wave of lawsuits filed by authors, artists, and media companies who allege that AI developers misappropriated their intellectual property to train models. Companies currently defending against these copyright lawsuits include:OpenAI and Microsoft (sued by The New York Times, The Daily News, the Authors Guild, Raw Story Media, and others).Anthropic (sued by Concord Music Group and various authors).Google and YouTube (sued by Mike Huckabee, David Milette, and others).Perplexity AI (sued by Dow Jones, The New York Times, and the Chicago Tribune).Stability AI, Midjourney, Runway AI, and Deviant Art (sued by visual artists and Getty Images).Meta, Nvidia, Databricks, and Mosaic ML.AI audio, music, and voice generation companies like Suno, Udio, Lovo, and ElevenLabs.Ross Intelligence (sued by Thomson Reuters for allegedly using copyrighted Westlaw data to train its own legal search tool).Other AI Companies Facing State ScrutinyCharacter.AI: Sued by the Kentucky Attorney General in January 2026 for consumer protection violations, alleging the company's companion chatbots preyed on children and contributed to psychological manipulation and self-harm. Google was also sued in related private litigation due to its substantial investment in Character.AI.Clearview AI: Cited by privacy advocates as a notorious example of unethical data sourcing, having scraped billions of images from social media to build a massive facial recognition database.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training AI is either the end of agencies… or the biggest opportunity we've had since the internet. Most agree it's the second one. Agencies that are winning right now are combining SEO, GEO, AEO, and LLM optimization so they show up everywhere decisions are being made. They're using AI to increase leverage, not replace thinking. And they're restructuring their teams around strategy, insight, and proprietary data instead of repetitive task work. Today's featured guest will discuss why SEO isn't dead (it just grew up), the biggest mistake agencies are making with AI, how to 10x output without adding headcount, and why your unique data is the unfair advantage that separates you from every other agency prompting ChatGPT and hoping for magic. Terry Zelen is the founder of Zelen Communications, a 35-year-old agency that pivoted aggressively into AI over the last three years. He's helping clients win visibility across both search engines and large language models (LLMs) and even building AI tools internally to reduce hallucinations and improve accuracy. Terry has a degree in marine biology, so marketing wasn't the master plan. After college, he tried breaking into the creative world with zero portfolio and got laughed out of the room; until one person gave him a shot. He worked for free, proved himself, connected with a freelance rep, and slowly worked his way up through the agency ranks. He eventually transitioned from freelancer to agency owner by acquiring his own accounts and building relationships locally in Tampa. Fast forward three decades and now he's helping clients navigate AI, LLM visibility, and what modern SEO really looks like. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why SEO is more complicated now, but agencies willing to adapt can still win How LLM visibility will win you business AI: The greatest leverage small businesses have ever had Building an AI consensus engine Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too. That's why successful agencies use Wix Studio — built to adapt the way your agency does: AI-powered site mapping, responsive design, flexible workflows, and scalable CMS tools so you spend less on plugins and more on growth. Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. SEO Is Not Dead. It's Just Way More Complicated There's a lot of noise right now around "SEO is dead" or "zero-click internet." But that's an oversimplification. SEO isn't going away. It's evolving. Today, it's not just SEO. It's: GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) Local SEO EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trust) Search intent In other words, visibility is the game. Not just ranking in Google, but showing up in LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Terry points out that while snippets and AI-generated summaries are increasing, people still want to verify sources. They're not buying a couch because an LLM told them it's the best. They'll still visit sites, compare options, and validate credibility. Backlinks, structured content, schema, quality. It all still matters. What's different is that now you're playing the game with Google and the LLMs. How LLM Visibility Actually Wins Business This isn't theoretical. Terry shared a story of a client who builds modular classroom buildings. A school district searched for "best mobile building producer in Florida" and the client showed up in a snippet. That visibility led directly to a new contract. So you're no longer optimizing just for rankings. You're optimizing to be the referenced authority when AI generates an answer. That means you better have structured content, clear positioning, backlinks, authority signals, and presence on surfaces LLMs scrape (including platforms like Reddit, though that's evolving). The agencies that understand this shift can bolt on new services like AI SEO or GEO and, in some cases, significantly increase revenue. But there's a catch. This space is evolving fast. What works today might not work next quarter. That's why Terry avoids gray-hat tactics and focuses on fundamentals. AI Is the Greatest Leverage Small Agencies Have Ever Had Terry believes this might be the most exciting time ever for small agencies because AI has eliminated barriers that used to require massive budgets. When a small restaurant client wanted a red snapper on a black background for their website, stock photography didn't cut it and real shoot would've required a diver, photographer, cooperative fish and a significant budget. Instead, they used Midjourney to create the image. Then they animated it so the fins and gills subtly moved. The client was blown away. For a small restaurant, this level of visual production used to be impossible. Now it's affordable and scalable. That's the opportunity. Agencies can deliver higher-quality creative, faster, and at lower cost if they know how to use the tools. A Very Real Fear for Future Marketers Terry regularly speaks to marketing students who are worried AI will take their jobs. What he tells them is that AI won't take your job, but someone who knows how to use AI will. The key is not blind reliance. It's intelligent leverage. AI is excellent at: Research Proposal drafting Competitive analysis First drafts of content Summarizing data What used to take weeks can now take hours. That frees your team from repetitive, dreaded tasks and allows them to focus on strategy, creativity, and client impact. But there's a danger in over-reliance. Too many agencies are slapping "AI" on everything without adding original thinking or proprietary data. Your edge isn't that you use AI. Your edge is your data. Every agency has unique client data, performance metrics, positioning, and experience. When you combine that with AI, that's where real leverage happens. Building a Consensus Engine to Reduce AI Hallucinations One of the more advanced things Terry is experimenting with is what he calls a "consensus engine." The problem with LLMs is that they're probabilistic, not deterministic. Ask the same question twice and you'll get two slightly different answers. They also hallucinate. To combat this, Terry built a workflow using N8N (a Zapier-like automation tool) that runs content through multiple LLMs. One writes it. Another critiques it. The final output must pass both systems before it's considered valid. If they disagree, it's sent back through with adjusted parameters. He's also exploring how different LLMs perform best in different roles: Perplexity for real-time research ChatGPT for writing Claude for programming Instead of treating AI as one tool, he's assembling a stack of specialized tools. That mindset shift, thinking like a systems architect instead of a prompt typist, is what separates surface-level AI use from strategic advantage.

Text me and tell me what you think of this ep. AI is everywhere right now — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Midjourney, Nano Banana — and interior designers are being told they need to learn all of it.But the real problem isn't the tools.It's the lack of context.In this episode of Designing Success, I break down how interior designers should actually be using AI inside their design studio, including:• the AI Studio Stack and what each tool is best for • why ChatGPT isn't the best tool for photorealistic renders • how tools like Claude, Gemini and Perplexity fit into a design business • the mistake most designers make when experimenting with AI • how to prepare your studio so AI tools actually understand your businessIf you've tried AI and thought “this is kind of helpful but not life-changing”, this episode will explain why.The secret is something I call the AI Context Layer.AI performs dramatically better when it understands:• your studio processes • your services and pricing • your brand voice • your client communication • your frameworks and intellectual propertyThat's why I created a free guide to help designers start preparing their studio knowledge for AI.Download the free guide here:

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, it is the AI Wars. Katie, you had some thoughts and some observations about the most recent things going on with Anthropic, with OpenAI, with Google XAI and stuff like that. So at the table, what’s going on? Katie Robbert: I don’t want to get too deep into the weeds about why people are jumping ship on OpenAI and moving toward the cloud. That’s in the news, it’s political, you can catch up on that. The short version is that decisions from the top at each of these companies have been made that people either agree with or don’t based on their own values and the values of their companies. When publicly traded companies make unpopular decisions that don’t align with the majority of their user base, people jump ship. They were like, okay, I don’t want to use you. We’ve seen it with Target and many other companies that made decisions people didn’t feel aligned with their personal values. Now we are seeing people abandoning OpenAI and signing on to Anthropic’s Claude. That’s what I wanted to chat about today because we talk a lot about business continuity and risk management. What happens when you get too closely tied to one piece of software and something goes wrong? We’ve talked about this on past episodes in theory because, up until now, software outages have generally been temporary. You don’t often see a mass exodus of a very popular piece of software that people have built their entire businesses around. Before we get into what this means for the end user and possible solutions, Chris, I would like to get your thoughts, maybe your cat’s thoughts on what’s going on. Christopher S. Penn: One of the things we’ve said from very early on in the AI space, because it changes so rapidly, is that brand loyalty to any vendor is generally a bad idea. If you were a hater of Google Bard—for good reason—Bard was a terrible model. If you said, I’m never going to touch another Google product again, you would have missed out on Gemini and Gemini 3 and 3.1, which is currently the top state‑of‑the‑art model. If you were all in on Claude, when Claude 2.1 and 2.5 came out and were terrible, you would have missed out on the current generation of Opus 4.6 and so on. Two things come to mind. One, brand loyalty in this space is very dangerous. It is dangerous in tech in general. Not to get too political, but the tech companies do not care about you, so there’s no reason to give them your loyalty. Second, as people start building agentic AI, you should think about abstraction layers. This concept dates back to the earliest days of computing: we never want to code directly against a model or an operating system. Instead we want an abstraction layer that separates our code from the machinery. It’s like an engine compartment in a car—you should be able to put in a new engine without ripping apart the entire car. If you do that well when building AI agents, when a new model comes along—regardless of political circumstances or news headlines—you can pull the old engine out, install the new one, and keep delivering the highest‑quality product. Katie Robbert: I don’t disagree with that, but that is not accessible to everybody, especially smaller businesses that view software like OpenAI or Google’s Gemini as desperately needed solutions. We’ve relied on Claude and Co‑Work, its desktop application, heavily. Over the weekend I realized how reliant I’ve become on it in the past two weeks. If it stopped working, what does that mean for the work I’m trying to move forward? That’s a huge concern because I don’t have the coding skills or resources to replicate it right now. What I’ve been doing in Co‑Work is because we’re limited on resources, but Co‑Work has advanced to the point where I can replicate what I would need if I hired a team of designers, developers, and marketers. It shook me to my core that this could go away. So what does that mean for me, the business owner, in the middle of multiple projects if I can’t access them? This morning Claude had an outage—unsurprisingly, the servers were overloaded because people are stepping away from OpenAI and moving into Claude. Claude released an ad: “Switch to Claude without starting over. Brief your preferences and context from other AI providers to Claude. With one copy‑paste, Claude updates its memory and picks up right where you left off. Memory is available on all paid plans.” For many people the ability to switch from one large language model to another felt like a barrier because everything built inside OpenAI couldn’t be transferred. Claude removed that barrier, opening the floodgates, and their servers were overloaded. Users who had been using the system regularly were like, what do you mean? I can’t get the work done I planned for this morning. Christopher S. Penn: There are two different answers depending on who you are. For you, Katie, as the CEO and my business partner, I would come over, say we’re going to learn Claude code, install the terminal application, and install Claude code router, which allows you to switch to any model from any provider so you can continue getting work done. Unfortunately, that isn’t a scalable option for everyone in our community. My suggestion for others is that it’s slightly harder but almost every major company has an environment where you can install a no‑code solution that provides at least some of those capabilities. Google’s is called Anti‑Gravity. OpenAI’s is called Codex. Alibaba’s can be used within tools like Client or Kil. If you have backed up your prompts and workflows, you can move them into other systems relatively painlessly. For example, Google’s Anti‑Gravity supports the skills format, so if you’ve built skills like the Co‑CEO, you can bring them into Anti‑Gravity. It’s not obvious, but you can port from one system to another relatively quickly. Katie Robbert: That brings us to the point that software fails—it’s just code. What is your backup plan if the system you’re heavily reliant on goes away? We’ve always said hypothetically, “if it goes away…,” and now we’re at that point. Not only are people leaving a major software provider, they are also struggling with switching costs. They’re struggling to bring their stuff over because everything lives within the system. A lot of people are building and not documenting, and that’s a problem. Christopher S. Penn: It is a problem. If you’ve been in the space for a while and understand the technology, backups and fallback systems have gotten incredibly good. About a month ago Alibaba released Quinn 3.5 in various sizes. The version that runs on a nice MacBook is really good—scary good. It’s about the equivalent of Gemini 3 Flash, the day‑to‑day model many folks use without realizing it. Having an open‑weights model you can install on a laptop that rivals state‑of‑the‑art as of three months ago is nuts. The challenge is that it’s not well documented, but it’s something we’ve been saying for two or three years: if you’re going all in on AI, you need a backup system that is capable. The good news is that providers like Alibaba, Quinn, Kimmy, Moonshot, and Jipu AI—many Chinese companies—ensure the technology isn’t going away. So even if Anthropic or OpenAI went out of business tomorrow, you have access to the technologies themselves. You can keep going while everyone else is stuck. Katie Robbert: If it’s not a concern for executives mandating AI integration, it should open eyes to the possibility of failure. Let’s be realistic—it’s not going to happen tomorrow, but it makes me think of the panic when Google Analytics switched from Universal Analytics to GA4. The systems aren’t compatible, data definitions changed, and companies lost historic data. Fortunately we had a backup plan. Chris, you always ran Matomo in the background as a secondary system in case something happened with Google Analytics, so we still had historic data. We’re at a pivotal point again: if you don’t have a backup system for your agentic AI workflows, you’re in trouble. Guess what? It’s going to fail, it will come crashing down, and you won’t know what to do. So let’s figure that out. Christopher S. Penn: If you’re building with agentic autonomous systems like Open Claw and its variants and you’re not building on an open‑weights model first, you’re taking unnecessary risks. Today’s open‑weights models like Quinn 3.5 and Minimax M2.5 are smart, capable, and about one‑tenth the cost of Western providers. If you have a box on your desk, you can run your life on it. You’d better use a model or have an abstraction layer that allows you to switch models so you can continue to run your life from this box. I would not rely on a pure API play from one major provider because if they go away, the transition will be rough. Now is the best time to build that level of abstraction. If you’re using tools like Claude code or other coding tools, you can have them make these changes for you. You have to be able to articulate it, and you should articulate with the 5B framework by Trust Insights. Once you do that, you can be proactive about preventing disasters. Katie Robbert: Is that unique to coding tools or does it also apply to chats and custom LLMs people have built? Obviously we have background information for Co‑CEO well documented, but let’s say we didn’t. Let’s say we built it and it lived as a skill somewhere. That’s a concern because we’ve grown to heavily rely on that custom agent. What if Claude shuts down tomorrow? We can’t access it. What do we do? Christopher S. Penn: The Co‑CEO—those fancy words like agents and skills—they’re just prompts. You can take that skill, which is a prompt file, fire up Anything LLM, turn on Quinn 3.5, and it will read that skill and get to work. You can do that in consumer applications like Anything LLM, which is just a chat box like Claude. The only thing uniquely missing right now is an equivalent for Claude Co‑Work, but it won’t be long before other tools have that. Even today you can use a tool like Klein or Kelo inside Visual Studio Code, install those skills, and have access to them. So even with Co‑CEO, you can drop that skill because it’s just a prompt and resume where you left off, as long as you have all data backed up and not living in someone else’s system, and you have good data governance. The tools are almost agnostic. All models are incredibly smart these days, even open‑weights models. I saw an open‑weights model over the weekend with 13 billion parameters that runs in about 12 GB of VRAM, so a mid‑range gaming laptop can run it. Co‑CEO Katie could live on perpetuity on a decent laptop. Katie Robbert: But you have to have good data governance. You need backups and documentation, then you can move them to any other system to make it more tool‑agnostic. If you don’t have good data governance or the basic prompts you’re reusing, we’ve been talking about this since day one. What’s in your prompt library? What frameworks are you using? What knowledge blocks have you created? If you don’t have those, you need to stop, put everything down, and start creating them, because you’ll be in a world of hurt without the basics. If you have a custom GPT you use daily, is it well documented—how it works, how it’s updated, how it’s maintained—so that if you can no longer subscribe to OpenAI, you can move to a different system. Katie Robbert: That move, especially if you’re using client‑facing tools, is not going to be overly traumatic. It’s not going to bring everything to a screeching halt. Many companies think everything will halt, but we haven’t explored personally what Claude meant by a copy‑paste migration. It feels like an oversimplification of what you actually have to do to replicate your system in Claude. Katie Robbert: But the fact they’re thinking about it, knowing people are panicking, is a good thing for Claude. It’s probably more complicated. The more you build, the deeper you are in the weeds, the more complicated it will be to port everything over. That’s why, as you build, you need documentation. Katie Robbert: That’s for nerds. Katie Robbert: I’m a nerd. I need documentation because it makes my life easier. You’re the first to ask, “where’s the documentation?” Do you have the PRD? Do you have the business requirements? I’m not touching anything until we have that. It makes me incredibly happy because look how much more you’ve accomplished with these systems and how zero panic you have about the AI wars—you can use whatever system you feel like that day. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. For folks listening, you can catch this on YouTube. This is my folder of all stuff—my Claude environment. It lives outside of Claude, on my hard drive, backed up to Trust Insights’ Google Cloud every Monday and Friday. It includes agents, document reviewers, the CFO, Co‑CEO, Katie, documentation, rules files for code standards, reference and research knowledge blocks, individual skills, and a separate folder of knowledge blocks. All of this lives outside any AI system—just files on disk backed up to our cloud twice a week. So no matter what, if my laptop melts down or gets hit by a meteor, I won’t lose mission‑critical data. This is basic good data governance. No matter what happens in the industry, if all the Western tech providers shut down tomorrow, I can spin up LM Studio, turn on the quantized model, and run it on my computer with my tools and rules. Our business stays in business when the rest of the world grinds to a halt. That will be a differentiating factor for AI‑forward companies: have a backup ready, flip the switch, and we’re switched over. Katie Robbert: If we look at it in a different context, it’s like the panic when a human decides to leave a company. You have that two‑week window to download everything they’ve ever done—wrong approach. It’s the same if you don’t have documentation for a human and no redundancy plan. If Chris wants to go on vacation, everything can’t come to a screeching halt. We’ve put controls in place so he can step away. We want that for any employee. Many companies don’t have even that basic level of documentation. If each analyst does a unique job and no one else can do it, you have no redundancy, no backup plan. If that analyst leaves for a better job, clients get mad while you scramble. It’s the same scenario with software. Christopher S. Penn: Now that’s a topic for another time, but one thing I’ve seen is the less you as an individual have fair knowledge, the more irreplaceable you theoretically are. That’s not true. Many protect job security by not documenting, but if everything is well documented, a less competent match could replace you. We saw Jack Dorsey’s company Block cut its workforce by 5,000, saying they’re AI‑forward. There’s a constant push‑pull: if you have SOPs and documentation, what’s to stop you from being replaced by a machine? Katie Robbert: I say bring it. I would love that, but I’m also professionally not an insecure human. You can’t replace a human’s critical thinking. If the majority of what you do is repetitive, that’s replaceable. What you bring to the table—creativity, critical thinking, connecting the dots before AI, documentation, owning business requirements, facilitating stakeholder conversations—is not easily replaceable. If Chris comes to me and says I’ve documented everything you do, and we give it all to a machine, I would say good luck. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, it’s worth a shot. Christopher S. Penn: All right. To wrap up, you absolutely should have everything valuable you do with AI living outside any one AI system. If it’s still trapped in your ChatGPT history, today is the day to copy and paste it into a non‑AI system, ideally one that’s shared and backed up. Also, today is the day to explore backup options—look for inference providers that can give you other options for mission‑critical stuff. No matter what happens to the big‑name brands, you have backup options. If you have thoughts or want to share how you’re backing up your generative and agentic AI infrastructure, join our free Slack group at Trust Insights AI Analytics for Marketers, where over 4,500 marketers—human as far as we know—ask and answer each other’s questions daily.

In this episode I speak with Paola Rocchetti, Co-Founder and Creative Partner at Void 'N Disorder and AI Director at GRAiL. We talk about what pulled her into AI in the first place, why originality is getting harder, and what she thinks will matter most as the tools keep accelerating.Paola shares how Midjourney sparked her first “wow” moment, why she's less interested in recreating reality and more interested in new forms of expression.Key Themes We ExploreWhy she tries to avoid consuming other people's AI workOriginality vs copying and why repetition is everywhereWhat it means to be an “AI director” Her aesthetic roots: goth culture, anime/manga, avant-garde fashion, and music“Flaming in the Wire” and her critique of social media as a kind of religionWhy “quality” is hard to copy quickly and what quality actually means to herHow Rome, London, LA, and travel shaped her taste and creative identityWhy vision matters more as tools improveKey TakeawaysAI is most exciting when it helps you discover new expression not recreate realityStory is what makes work memorable in a world with no attention spanTools will keep improving; what matters is purpose, meaning, and vision behind the workYou can connect with Paola at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paolarocchetti/

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week's In-Ear-Insights—welcome from Snowmageddon. For folks listening later, it is the week of the big blizzard in the Northeast U.S., so we are all shoveling, but we're not talking about shoveling today. Well, we kind of are. We are talking about planning and execution. Mike Tyson famously said no plan survives getting punched in the mouth. And Katie, you recently asked in the Analytics for Marketer Slack group—join at Trust-Insights, AI analytics for marketers—how Q1 planning was going, and everyone said it isn't. You had thoughts about where that gap is between doing the plan and executing it. The character Leonard from *Legends-Tomorrow* has been quoted: “Make the plan, execute the plan, watch the play go off the rails, throw away the plan,” because that's how things go. So talk to me about why planning and reality don't match up so often. Katie Robbert: I started this question tongue‑in‑cheek: “How are all those fancy Q1 roadmap PowerPoints you spent weeks on in meetings doing?” I didn't expect the response—most are still sitting in SharePoint or largely untouched. The bottom line is that no one's really done anything. That's a trend across any industry, any vertical, any department, because making the plan is the easy part. Executing the plan feels risky, unsafe, unknown. I saw a post last week from our friend Paul Rotzer at Smarter-X, where he outlined eight stages companies go through when evaluating and adopting AI; most are stuck at one or two. My comment was that this is because of an unacknowledged fear from leadership—fear that by doing something they become irrelevant or that they'll get it wrong and be exposed. When we ask why we do all this planning and nothing happens, it comes down to unacknowledged fear. My hypothesis: I can get the best running shoes, put together a sophisticated training plan for a couch‑to‑5K, tighten my nutrition, get plenty of rest—yet that's just a plan. I still have to do it, to put one foot in front of the other. The scary part is, what if I fail? What if the plan doesn't work? What if I hurt myself, look silly, embarrass myself? Those thoughts creep up. In a larger, publicly traded organization with many eyes on every move, that fear is real. We can make plans, set goals, have expectations—but what if we act and it doesn't work? What if the wrong move is noticed? Christopher S. Penn: I like that analogy because there are externalities, too. We made the plan, got the running shoes, and now there are two feet of snow outside. “Okay, I guess I'm not going running”—a convenient excuse unless you own a treadmill. One of the things that seems true today is that planning requires some predictability to say, “Here's the plan.” Even with scenario plans—best case, worst case, middle—you still get wacky curveballs, like a sudden tariff wheel spin. As much as there are internal fears—afraid of failing, reluctant to stick your neck out—there are externalities: crazy events that render the plan obsolete. Let's flip this. You have the plan; maybe it's still valid, maybe it isn't. What does someone do to say, “Okay, I need to do at least one thing in the plan because I have ideas,” while hearing your perspective? Katie Robbert: Before we get into that, I want to acknowledge those externalities. In the running example, saying “the snow is a convenient excuse” takes accountability off you, so you're no longer at fault. Humans love to pass accountability to someone or something else—“It wasn't my fault; I couldn't run because it was snowing.” Then we ask, “Did you stretch? Did you do anything else?” The same pattern shows up in larger organizations: “The economy,” “the wind changed,” “someone said something weird,” “I'm superstitious.” Those become blanket excuses that shift blame. That's why doing the first thing is the biggest hurdle. Companies often set the bar too high—“I need to increase revenue by 20%.” They look for one magical thing to achieve that goal, but it isn't how it works. The real path is cumulative—task after task, every task, that gets you to the finish line. If you can't run because of two feet of snow, ask yourself, “Is running the only thing that gets me to a couch‑to‑5K?” Probably not. Dig deeper for smaller milestones—bite‑sized actions you can take. People often resist because they've already made a plan and don't want to redo it. Christopher S. Penn: My solution, which removes excuses, is to put the plan into your AI of choice and ask, “What's the first step I can take today toward this plan?” Acknowledge how the plan should adapt, but focus on the immediate action. For example, if you can't safely run, you might do leg squats to start strengthening muscles, so when you can run you'll be in better condition. That pushes accountability back onto you and gives you a bite‑size start. Planning has always been about agility—agile versus waterfall. Today's AI tools let you pivot on a dime. You can say, “Here's the Q4 with the Q1 plan, here's everything that has changed,” and then dictate new directions. Ask the AI for three to seven ideas for pivoting so you can still hit the 20% revenue increase target. These tools can suggest alternatives when, say, social media burns to the ground but you still have an email list, or when you haven't tried text messaging yet. Katie Robbert: At Trust-Insights we have an open, transparent culture. I'm all for experimentation as long as it's acknowledged. “I'm going to try this thing, here's the cost.” Not everyone has that luxury. Imagine a VP of marketing tasked with increasing website traffic by 30% and generating enough new MQLs to keep the sales team happy. Social media isn't the answer; email is exhausted. You look at higher‑cost options—paid ads, SMS texting. Those require software, time to find opted‑in phone numbers, and budget. That's where the fear comes in: a long list of options, but you have to justify the budget and risk failure. Christopher S. Penn: In scenario planning, you say, “The goal is a 20% revenue increase. This is what it will cost to get there. Stakeholder, is this still the goal?” If the stakeholder can't give you the budget, you can't achieve the plan. You might say, “With $500 I can get you 4% of the goal,” but the full goal requires more. You've done due diligence: the company's goal is set, but the reality is limited resources. It's like wanting to drive 500 miles with only a gallon of gas—you can't make the car use less gas to cover that distance. Katie Robbert: I'll challenge you to imagine you have no authority to push back on stakeholders. You can't simply say, “I can't do this.” You have to have the conversation—no excuses. In many organizations, the response is, “I don't want to hear excuses; we have to hit our numbers.” Christopher S. Penn: I've been in that situation. The typical response is to shift blame quickly, document everything, and blame the stakeholder to their boss. That's the solution that worked at AT&T, Lucent, and other large corporations. It goes back to why plans aren't executed: if you have no role, authority, or relationship power to change the plan, your best bet to keep your job is to deflect blame to someone else, ideally the stakeholder, as fast as possible. Katie Robbert: That's one of the worst answers you've ever given me. Christopher S. Penn: Putting myself in that position—I've been there, and that's exactly what you do to survive in big corporate America. Katie Robbert: If you get receipts but still have to do something, you can't just sit at your desk twiddling your thumbs. What do you actually do? Christopher S. Penn: Do you really want the answer? You call as many meetings as possible throughout the quarter so it looks like you're doing something. You send lots of emails, create fake activity that's considered acceptable in corporate America—“We're having a meeting to plan about the plan,” “We're having a pre‑meeting for the meeting.” That's why so little gets done, especially in risk‑averse organizations: everyone's energy is spent covering their own backs, so no one takes a real step forward. You cover your butt by saying, “I'm calling meetings, we're looking busy, we're talking about the plan for the plan.” Do you get anything done? No. Do you make progress toward your plan? No. Do you have something for your annual review that looks good? Yes. That's why many organizations are stuck on rung one of the AI ladder. In a place like Trust-Insights, I can say, “I'm going to do this thing.” It might spectacularly implode, but as long as it doesn't financially endanger the company or cause reputational harm, it's fine. That's why startups can challenge incumbents—they don't have the calcified bureaucracy of blame deflection. You can try something that might not work, but you'll try it anyway because you can. In risk‑averse, fear‑driven organizations, that never happens. That's why many talk about side hustles. When we started Trust-Insights, we had a side hustle because the corporate side fired people at the first sign of a 1% goal decline. With Trust-Insights now, I don't need a side hustle. Everything we do redirects back to Trust-Insights. We don't have a culture of fear that stops us from trying things. If I'm in a gray cubicle, my goal is to survive another day until the next paycheck. That's fair, and many people find themselves in that position. Katie Robbert: Back to AI tools: there is a way to at least try. We put a plan together and ask, “Who's going to execute it?” We're a four‑person team with big dreams and expectations, but the reality is we're still underwater. I open a chat in Gemini or Claude and say, “Here are my restrictions—zero budget. What can I do that's low risk, won't damage our reputation, and won't take a million hours?” These tools excel at pattern recognition, finding that tiny piece of information the human is blind to because they're too close. For example, we might be over‑indexed on our email list. Is there anything else we haven't done with email? That channel is still under our control. Could we draft copy for ads we can't run yet? Could we draft newsletter outreach even if we can't send it today? Is our newsletter list clean and ready? Those are low‑risk steps that keep the plan moving forward without exposing us to investors for a failed experiment. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. For folks who feel stuck with no role power or relationship power, generative AI can help. If you can find $20 a month for a paid tool, great. It's never been easier to start a side hustle—no need to learn programming. If you have a good idea and are willing to invest time outside of work on your own hardware, now is the best time to try creating something. It may not work, but it's better than feeling stuck and powerless. If your plan feels like it's moving at 900-mph off a cliff, the tools are out there. If you have the willingness to take a little risk outside your day job, give it a shot. Katie Robbert: I keep trying to pull people back into their day jobs and help them find solutions because not everyone has time for a side hustle. Many are working parents or have a second job. This morning I asked, “What is one thing I can do today that won't take much time or budget but helps me keep moving forward?” One suggestion was to update CRM records. Marketing plans often require good, clean data. If you can't afford paid ads, are you ready to run them when you can? Look internally: do we have the best possible data? Is it clean? Is it ready? Can I draft copy for ads or newsletters even if we can't launch them yet? Those are low‑risk actions that keep momentum. Christopher S. Penn: The other thing to consider for those with no role or relationship power is that generative AI can be a low‑cost ally. If you can spend $20 a month on a paid tool, you have a new avenue to create value. Katie Robbert: My challenge to anyone stuck in Q1 plans—or any quarter—is to dig deep and ask, “What is one low‑risk, low‑resource thing I can do?” Is the data hygiene ready? If you were granted all the budget today, would you be ready to execute? Find those things, and you'll keep moving forward. Once you start that momentum—one foot in front of the other—it's easier to keep going. Christopher S. Penn: Absolutely. Christopher S. Penn: If you have thoughts on how you're getting unstuck, no matter the quarter, pop by our free Slack group—Trust-Insights-AI analysts for marketers—where over 4,500 marketers ask and answer each other's questions every day.

After a brief hiatus, the boys are back!With Midjourney v8 expected next week, Drew and Rory zoom out and ask the bigger question: does v8 even matter as much as we think?Because while everyone waits for v8, Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0 are raising the bar, Claude Code and Claude Cowork are quietly changing how builders operate, and Claude Agents are turning workflows into autonomous systems.Meanwhile, Higgsfield is melting down in public, Hollywood is panick-maxxing, and creators are realizing that building “skills” inside LLMs might matter more than generating prettier images.This episode breaks down:• Why Midjourney v8's native 2K and edit models matter• Why personalization could be the real differentiator• How Claude Code is quietly enabling operator-level leverage• Why skill-building beats agent hype• What Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0 signal about video AI• The real lesson behind Higgsfield's fallout• Why the creative skill gap is widening right nowThis episode moves from Midjourney roadmap analysis to AI workflow engineering to business survival strategy.If you care about Midjourney v8, Claude Agents, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0, system prompts, autonomous workflows, or where creative leverage is actually going…This one isn't optional.---⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour00:00 – Winter chaos & NYC survival03:59 – AI's quantum leap moment06:51 – Radio vs podcasts analogy08:55 – AI series vs Hollywood model10:59 – Game of Thrones AI sequel14:14 – CGI patchwork & filmmaking16:14 – AI replacing exec decisions18:03 – Seedance & model hype19:48 – Midjourney v8 timeline20:15 – Rating party (Round 2 + beyond)23:18 – 2K native resolution talk24:26 – Batch-four replacement25:48 – Edit model improvements26:14 – v8 text rendering progress27:03 – Arbitrary resolution support29:06 – Personalization in v830:36 – Mood boards as leverage32:18 – AI overwhelm & X fatigue34:12 – Claude agents & automation36:04 – “Something is happening”39:45 – AI skill-building strategy45:47 – Pattern matching workflows48:54 – Silicon Valley middle-out50:24 – Claude comedy experiment53:24 – Word clouds & ad thinking55:14 – Hollywood recycling IP58:41 – Marketing narrative engine01:03:57 – Higgsfield controversy01:11:36 – Final thoughts & sign-off

Send us a Question!MOVIE DISCUSSION: Kathryn joins Melvin to discuss Bottle Rocket, Wes Anderson's first feature-length film! The vibes are cozy and the dramedy is light, and the two get into discussions about classism (go figure!), easy-to-watch films, and what it is about Wes Anderson that makes him so mainstream. Topics: (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 23-minutes discussing Darren Aronofsky's AI-Slop studio "Primordial Soup" which specializes in producing "stories" and "art" through AI programs (LLMs and AGIs a la Chat-GPT and Midjourney) and how this endeavor is actually anti-art. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) Kathryn has stated that Bottle Rocket is her favorite Wes Anderson movie. Is this still true?It's nice to watch a Wes Anderson movie where he isn't overly controlling everything.Talking classism, adulthood, maturity, & empathy.Melvin isn't so sure he likes Wes Anderson's movies as much as everyone else, and he spends some time thinking what it is others see in them.Talking about Dignan, Anthony, and the unique characters therein.The climax of the film feels like a great representation of what Wes Anderson does best.Recommendations:Brick (2006) (Movie)Amnesia: The Dark Descent (2010) (Video Game) Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!
