Which Side Are You On? AI is rapidly commoditizing low-value content creation. But high-value strategic thinking, creative leadership, and judgment are more valuable than ever. The opportunity lies in evolving from order-taker to advisor and conductor. From someone who orchestrates both human and AI resources to deliver better business outcomes. Using AI as Your Intellectual Sparring Partner Don’t just ask AI to write; use it to challenge, debate, and refine your thinking. Set up “Socratic dialogues” with AI to pressure-test your ideas and sharpen your message. This collaborative thinking accelerates originality and gives you a massive edge in producing world-class content and strategy.
