As you've probably heard, Mark Zuckerberg recently expressed his intent to fully automate Meta's ad creation with A.I. and knowing how quickly A.I has advanced I'm certain this will become the norm or at least heavily pushed in the near future.

Writing, art, and now even videos, once the defining hallmarks of human expression, can now be produced in the blink of an eye. Driven to the point where even a slight sign of an em dash — is thought to be artificial.

What was once one of the greatest barriers for individuals and advertisers (Getting their vision down on paper) has all but disappeared. Campaigns that once took weeks to plan and storyboard are now able to be churned out in hours. The tools are accessible, the cost is minimal, and the output? Passable, sometimes even impressive.

You don’t need a studio, a team of designers, or even formal training. Just a half-decent prompt, and A.I. will do the rest. Which, of course, leads to the question: what happens next?

A.I. hasn’t just made creativity faster. It’s made it cheaper… that, more than anything, is reshaping the industry. While you’ll still need humans to think of truly innovative ideas, you don’t need as many of them. We’re already seeing mass layoffs across media, design, and production as companies streamline for cost efficiency. In many cases, quality is taking a backseat to scalability. Content is increasingly created not because it’s good, but because it’s good enough.

This shift is happening across every creative discipline. The next generation of “creatives” might not be designers or copywriters, but “Smart Prompters:” people who know how to describe what they want rather than create it themselves. A skillset that’s less about craft, and more about command.

For advertisers, this opens up huge opportunities. It lowers production fees, increases efficiency, and makes it easier to bring work in-house. No more waiting on external agencies, no more markups on rounds of revisions. It's leaner, faster, and more direct.

But for creative agencies, it’s a wake-up call. Craft alone is no longer enough. In a world where anyone can generate a polished video with the click of a button, the differentiators shift: campaign strategy, audience data, brand nuance, and serviceability will define the winners. The value isn’t just in making; it’s in knowing why something should be made, and how it fits into a broader story

As content becomes easier to create, it becomes exponentially harder to make something that truly stands out. When everyone is using the same tools and drawing from the same datasets, originality becomes the rarest commodity. The best campaigns of tomorrow won’t be the ones with the most variations they’ll be the ones that resonate the deepest. The ones that feel undeniably human.

That’s the part no model can replicate.

A.I. can generate. It can copy. It can scale. But what it still struggles to do is feel. And as audiences become savvier, they’re starting to notice. There’s an uncanny valley emerging, not in visuals, but in voice. The timing is off. The tone is too smooth. The message, hollow. It’s hard to describe, but easy to sense.

Which brings us back to the human side of the equation. Creativity isn’t dying. It’s being redefined. And in many ways, it’s becoming more valuable not less. The canvas just got bigger. The brush, faster. But the soul behind the work? That still matters.

Maybe now more than ever.

Hi Everyone! It seems like I made a small mistake for the August Back to School Happy Hour!

The Event is on TUESDAY August 26th, 6:30pm - 8:30pm not Monday.

Make sure you RSVP to the Partiful": HERE

When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.

And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.

Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Invest for $2.90/Share
