What couldn’t you do before that AI enables now?
As we close out 2024 and start looking at the road ahead, I have a thought exercise for you, one I’m doing myself.
What couldn’t you do before that AI enables you to do now? What was beyond your reach, because of resources or skill?
Everyone and their cousin will be doing more of what they’ve always done next year. More blog posts that 3 people read. More podcasts that 2 people listen to. More emails that go automatically into spam. All the existing practices and places are CROWDED. And because folks are using AI to do what they’ve always done, it still all sounds like identical corporate dreck.
This is something Katie and I discussed on yesterday’s livestream. Where could we go, where could you go, that you couldn’t before?
Because chances are, your competitors aren’t going there either. They’re also making more unread blog posts and emails. They’re also doing what everyone else has already done and hoping AI just helps them do more of that, faster.
Think outside of marketing. What could you create today that you couldn’t before generative AI, at least not without considerable expense and delay?
For example, in this post is our Ideal Customer Profile service landing page… converted to a Gregorian chant.
Now, is this necessarily a good idea? Maybe, maybe not. But it’s different, and it’s something that prior to generative AI would have been impractical to do. However, the exercise itself stretches our imaginations beyond yet another white paper, ebook, or podcast.
If you want to unlock value from AI, it’s not just about doing more of what you already do. It’s also about letting you do what you couldn’t do before.
