If you only get your AI updates from the news, you'll feed on irrelevant corporate updates.

Anthropic did this; Open AI did that.

And if you get your AI updates from curated newsletters, you'll get fat on summation. Refried stories coated with inane hot takes.

But when you ask people who are NOT trying to profit from what they sell tell you 😏 you'll find out what real humans actually care about when it comes to AI.

And it's always more entertaining and interesting.

Think for yourself

I had a good talk with a friend and AI colleague (who is building a company at an AI startup) about how FREE WILL is a human fundamental.

We get to think for ourselves.

Make our own decisions.

It's our human right.

You don't need artificial intelligence when you have real intelligence.

AI is not a creator. It's curated summations of pre-existing data sets. That's why it all sounds the same. All those "It's not this -it's that" sentences. Even the cadence is predictable.

So boring. Irrelevant. Who cares?

Originate

Most AI tools are stupid.

Because their premise is off.

They assume we want more faster. But we don't.

We want relevance and results.

That's why in the +2 years I've worked on Creatrix, we haven't had to change the product at all - in all this time, no one has built anything like it.

It's because our premise is ASKING AUDIENCES, not asking AI.

Creatrix translates the relevant consumer conversations into strategy fast.

It's months of market research in 20 seconds.

Like auditing 12.8 million AI posts into the top 3 most engaging subjects and then generating relevant topics in 20 seconds.

It's mind-blowing.

And yet, it's true.

And I built it so that you can access this power and DO SOMETHING CREATIVE with it.

Create your own stories based on these topics, and connect with what people care about.

You don't need to be generic just because you can. You're not optimizing something if it doesn't get you what you want. Which is business is:

Engagement, Growth, and Sales.

Here's to thinking critically and creatively and as always, asking yourself, who's voice am I listening to? Is their perspective relevant to me and my goals?

Because until you know exactly what you're trying to create and are taking action, no amount of information will move you forward. Most of the time, information is a big distraction.

Start with something small and do it. In your voice, your way.

Let me know what you're creating. I'd love to see it.

And if you need inspo, get Creatrix to help you with your creative strategy. ​

Say hi on LinkedIn.​
