AI will eradicate marketers. In 5 years.

Sam Altman confirms this. The clock is ticking.

I found some unreleased material and I hope this is FAKE. But it's not.

Because if you consider these 3 factors, it adds up:

1. "AI will handle 95% of marketing work done by agencies and creatives"

This headline from Marketing AI Institute @MktgAi blew me away.

"Alex, this is BS. AI is nowhere near that."

Let's see what Sam Altman has to say:

Interviewer: "What do you think AGI will mean for us, and for consumer brand marketers trying to create ad campaigns and the like to build their companies?"

Sam: “It will mean that 95% of what marketers use agencies, strategists, and creative professionals for today will easily, nearly instantly and at almost no cost be handled by the AI...

...and the AI will likely be able to test the creative against real or synthetic customer focus groups for predicting results and optimizing.

Again, all free, instant, and nearly perfect. Images, videos, campaign ideas? No problem."

Interviewer: "About when do you think AGI will be a reality?"

Sam: "5 years, give or take, maybe slightly longer..."

Source: book called Our AI Journey. I HOPE this stuff is fake. But it's not.

"No Alex, I don't believe this!"

PERFECT, keep reading:

2. It will be nothing then EVERYTHING.

You do not understand "compounding AI" capabilities.

ChatGPT3 was a joke.

GPT3.5 was something.

GPT4 can do the work of 5 people in 1.

GPT5?

In the span of 1 year! Not 10, not 100.

3. It does it ALREADY.

Some tasks are impossible for AI at the moment.

Marketing is NOT one of them.

Marketers use it all the time. It learns all the time.

So you think that when it gets more compute (power) and data, it will NOT be able to replace a marketer?

The middle and low tier? 95% of them?

Think about it. And let that sip in.

BUT:

Conclusion:

Currently, we are superior, 5 years, hell even 2 years are enough to wake up and figure our stuff out.

And I WANT to BLINDLY believe that we will stay ahead of AI.

But don't delay.

The clock is ticking for the 95%.
