Bacchini<\/a> led a discussion on AI and its impact on the PPC industry. The conversation explored how AI is affecting the ability to find PPC work and clients, what PPC professionals see as their key competitive advantages, and their concerns and excitement about the future of PPC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q1-do-you-feel-like-ai-is-impacting-your-ability-to-do-or-find-work-clients-in-ppc-if-so-how-is-it-affecting-you\"><strong>Q1: Do you feel like AI is impacting your ability to do or find work\/clients in PPC? If so, how is it affecting you?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>YES. The number of AI \u201caudits\u201d I am seeing is massive. And, there is a lot of thinking that PPC is now DIY with the help of AI\u2026I will add that having clients use AI to \u201canalyze\u201d accounts and then ask all kinds of not helpful questions with the confidence of a 10 year practitioner is\u2026 something else.. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a couple of SAAS projects that solve Google Ads problems. In the last year or so I&#8217;ve had quite a few people sign up, ask lots of questions, and then vibe-code their own version of the tool. I&#8217;ve also had other people copy my stuff and sell it as their own. I miss the moat that being multi-skilled offered. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. We&#8217;ve lost pitches because other teams seem to use more ai, or talk about it at least, and there is a bias towards &#8216;the machine can do this for me&#8217; so I&#8217;ll just hire you for TV or other things. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The general loss of respect for our knowledge is terrible. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a> how do I agree 1100 more times? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the AIs sound SO confident even when they are dead wrong. It\u2019s a problem <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I suspect we&#8217;ll see the whole profession being denigrated because of people who overestimate their and their AI&#8217;s abilities and deliver terrible results. It feels the same as when the broccoli-haired 20yr olds where telling everyone to start a SMMA. We&#8217;re a bunch of moaners on this thread! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andrew Lolk posted a good video along these lines today. A good point he made was that you should be telling clients that AI helps you, not AI did it for you. Too many people think AI can &#8220;do&#8221; things for them and that is where the danger lies IMO..<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/robert_brady\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@robert_brady<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI has mostly made my life easier in PPC. The only real downside I&#8217;ve had from AI is people at my job sending me tasks to look into things AI told them about campaigns \u2013 it&#8217;s been wrong\/inaccurate 98% of the time. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/williamhboggs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@williamhboggs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/williamhboggs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@williamhboggs<\/a> I get this occasionally as well. Claude particularly isn&#8217;t great at prioritizing issues. It makes a disapproved sitelink seem like it&#8217;s going to destroy the whole account. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/robert_brady\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@robert_brady<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, I agree that in many ways it feels like AI is creating more hurdles because it makes everyone think they&#8217;re an expert, when more often than not, the AI is wrong or exaggerating. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/revaminkoff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@revaminkoff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Had a few leads go from phone call to \u201cjust going to use Claude and handle it in-house\u201d. Weird Summer for sure. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/duanebrown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@duanebrown<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/duanebrown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@duanebrown<\/a> So, I am finding leads that found me via AI tend to do this. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can see that also being the case. One lead from the summer came via a forum search. This feels like 2007-2009 when everyone thought they could design their own ads or own blog content using those great tools back then but just made a lot of meh content. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/duanebrown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@duanebrown<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, we limit our customer base so much, that I have had not trouble. I worry more that more clients will ask for AI integration or ChatGPT ads and I don&#8217;t particularly want to do them. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ynotweb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@ynotweb<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wow, reading y&#8217;alls stories\u2026 I would just point out all the very public mistakes made using AI advice (i.e. getting stranded on Mt Shasta, bombing the wrong targets, product shots turned to garbage just changing backgrounds\/expanding view). Doesn&#8217;t seem to hard to dissuade anyone but those willfully ignorant (and this is a great way to weed out crappy clients) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ynotweb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@ynotweb<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q2-how-are-you-finding-your-niche-as-a-ppc-practitioner-in-today-s-increasingly-ai-world\"><strong>Q2: How are you finding your niche as a PPC practitioner in today\u2019s increasingly AI world?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel like this is about the 20th evolution I have gone through as a PPCer at this point. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve tried to make my niche into being educated on AI. My role has been search inside omnichannel for enterprise my whole career, so my clients aren&#8217;t looking for someone to build a tool, they&#8217;re looking for a thinker who can help them press the right buttons. It&#8217;s been VERY hard staying on top of this contradictory and fast-moving tech. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yip, it&#8217;s been evolution since the beginning. I have to admit that I&#8217;m feeling a little lost at this point. More so than in the past. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My niche seems to be as a bridge between doing it yourself and hiring in-house (or a big agency). Admittedly, a smart business owner can probably extend the DIY phase longer with AI, but they could mess it up even more too. I feel like there is still plenty of room for me. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/robert_brady\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@robert_brady<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a> I wouldn\u2019t say I am so much lost as tired. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a> that might be a better description. Maybe we&#8217;re getting old? I have 8 grandchildren. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am 55 with a (lovely) teenaged kid, so yeah\u2026<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve really leaned into building tools and systems to help other PPCers rather than <em>just<\/em> managing accounts. This has become my niche. Trying to get into making video content as well <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/williamhboggs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@williamhboggs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am finding that it is easier to sell either pick my brain or second set of eyes type of services these days than traditional strategy\/management <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/williamhboggs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@williamhboggs<\/a> I LOVE a process, a system, a framework, a lens. Remember: if you call your grid a matrix, you can charge x5 more! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if a client wants to argue with me about why the AI is right and I am wrong, well that is the end of that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think even younger PPC practitioners are tired. Because you CAN build every tool you could ever imagine, customized to your exact situation, doesn&#8217;t mean you SHOULD. After you&#8217;ve built it, who is watching the connections to make sure they don&#8217;t break? Are you continuing to check the outputs so the AI didn&#8217;t &#8220;forget&#8221; how to do tasks? Then you have to consider which model is best suited for a task and most efficient in it&#8217;s token use. It&#8217;s like you&#8217;re managing accounts and also taking on all the roles of a SAAS company too. It&#8217;s exhausting. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/robert_brady\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@robert_brady<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/robert_brady\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@robert_brady<\/a> plus, whatever the answer is now will be different with the next model release. it&#8217;s too much! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be clear, I am not saying I am the be all and end all of PPC, but I do certainly know when an AI is wrong about PPC strategy or analysis. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And too few people are thinking about payoff periods for the AI-built stuff. If you have to update it every 4 months, did it do enough to justify the upfront investment? Or would you have been better off continuing with current systems? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/robert_brady\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@robert_brady<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think Colin did a really good post on this last week or the week before. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m focusing on the fact that I am a human with a mind that can reason cognitively and weigh their priorities and truly understand the systems at play and strategy and human behavior, etc. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/revaminkoff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@revaminkoff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a> Got a link? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/revaminkoff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@revaminkoff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/robert_brady\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@robert_brady<\/a> I had a client lose almost 100 leads because their vibe-coded CRM broke and nobody caught it till I did. The boss was boasting about he hired and intern for $1500\/month on some government scheme to build the CRM for him. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a> Is this the one you mean?  https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/collin-slattery_ive-been-so-ai-pilled-that-ive-done-a-share-7507832556189376513-_DYE\/  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/robert_brady\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@robert_brady<\/a> This is a great point. I think the trick is to lean as much away from relying on AI as possible. I&#8217;m not a programmer, so I use AI to help me with building out the tools, but the tools themselves don&#8217;t use AI \u2013 they use real math, statistics, and IFTTT formulas. I think this is the healthy balance  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/williamhboggs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@williamhboggs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a> yes! It&#8217;s very focused on his team&#8217;s experience, not universalising, and a pretty straightforward profit after cost analysis. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/williamhboggs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@williamhboggs<\/a> Agreed. Let the AI build determinative systems. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not sweating too much. From personal experience and what I&#8217;m seeing more broadly, it appears as though the pendulum is starting to peak on the &#8220;AI can do PPC&#8221; and &#8220;work slop&#8221; frenzy. I&#8217;ve seen at least 1 marketing leader (who leaned HEAVILY on work slop and injected AI into everything) lose their job, in part because of the endless claudits and circular tasks that never really moved things forward.<br>I think\/hope this trend continues. Not the losing of jobs, but that people start to identify work slop and move away from it towards actual, productive work that uses AI responsibly. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anthony-mcdaniel-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@AnthonyMcDaniel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google\u2019s AI Overview has not touched ecom as much but the impact is more felt by what each person thinks they can now do themselves. A little too much default to AI when a tool already exists to do the job. e.g. export ad copy from Google qads. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/duanebrown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@duanebrown<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Same way as always- connections, relationships, and getting great results so we are still pre-sold to all potential clients. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ynotweb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@ynotweb<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building the tools <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/danthies\/\">@DanThies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q3-what-do-you-consider-to-be-your-main-competitive-advantage-s-as-a-ppc-pro\"><strong>Q3: What do you consider to be your main competitive advantage(s) as a PPC pro?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As I said in our brief chat yesterday I&#8217;ve always considered being able to do 3 things reasonably well as my main advantage (small business, ads and programming). The combination has worked well for almost 20 years now. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My experience. My ability to be thoughtful, cautious. My ability to design tests and act on outcomes rather than vibes. And my deep addiction to political news. It turns out watching what weirdo CEOs say to government leaders, in several countries, is very helpful these days. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely length of experience, also working in marketing before the internet and just being human focused. I swear the pre internet marketing skills are coming back around again as AI pulls from things like landing pages because you have to make sure you\u2019re speaking the right language for your audience(s), etc. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I take the time to understand the business and understand the prospective customer; what emotions they feel, what pain they have, etc. Then you apply the tools\/tactics of PPC appropriately to achieve the desired result. Can&#8217;t start with tactics first. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/robert_brady\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@robert_brady<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using math to make decisions backed by real data, not my gut. Deep interest in psychology and design. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/williamhboggs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@williamhboggs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m hopeful that my communication style will continue to set me apart. The more prevalent AI becomes, the more I&#8217;m hoping people appreciate talking to a real person who uses normal words to explain things, without sending them 9 page briefs on every email. That and continually working on time\/task management. People like working with people who get things done in my experience. Basically, I&#8217;m just working on the fundamentals at this point and keeping my eye out to see where I can add value in the future. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anthony-mcdaniel-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@AnthonyMcDaniel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am talking with clients a lot about their positioning these days too. Again because it needs to be right but also it impacts how the various AI elements \u201csee\u201d their business, products or services. If that is misaligned, then it spirals. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a separate note, launched Google Ads for a new client yesterday and the first lead just arrived so everyone is happy <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think we should all also remember the competitive advantage we have as being part of this community! I have had client questions that were maybe not my best area of expertise and I will say something along the lines of &#8211; I am not quite sure about that, but I will reach out to my industry contacts who are experts in that area and get back to you. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a lot of value in conversing, even just thinking out loud, with another expert, NOT a robot. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having sanity checks or talking\/messaging with someone who has done a lot of work in a particular vertical can be SO helpful! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All good answers. Our brains can be an advantage and knowing when something is wrong. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/duanebrown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@duanebrown<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! the testing frameworks are often okay, but if you do lead scoring or car purchases, travel, anything that takes several decisions to convert, the machines can only do so much. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a kind, compassionate, trustworthy, intelligent person with a lot of experience and deep knowledge of this space and the real challenges and emotions involved. I am very flexible in how I look at things, being able to work across different areas to find answers, solve problems, and get results. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/revaminkoff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@revaminkoff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using experience to know when something has potential or what is total bullshit.

Some stuff feels easier. Some stuff feels harder. Some stuff gives me hope. Some stuff makes me want to take up drinking. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is harder when clients send you massive amounts of AI output <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve said this before, but my biggest complaint has been Account Managers &amp; clients sending things they found with AI and asking me to look into it. I&#8217;m confident enough in my skills to give an answer or hold my own \u2013 but my complaint is that it takes up <em>so much<\/em> time I could be spending doing something <em>actually<\/em> useful in their account. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/williamhboggs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@williamhboggs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I honestly think I am going to put something in my contracts about me reviewing AI output if that is not what they are specifically hiring me to do. Cause it can be time consuming, especially if they send stuff weekly! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A while ago I got caught out with a surprise Claudit. 30 pages of plausible recommendations about how rubbish I was. I did the absolute worse thing &#8211; tried to respond to it. That kind of asymmetric warfare is impossible to win because AI can generate text faster than a human can reason about it and come up with a sensible answer. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I should consider adding that to our contracts too, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a> . It is insanely frustrating. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/revaminkoff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@revaminkoff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/williamhboggs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@williamhboggs<\/a> yep. One thing I&#8217;ve heard is to ask the person to jump on a call instead of responding to each item. Pushes it back on them to be able to communicate what specifically they have issue with or are wanting to look into (rather than just copy\/pasting AI responses) and makes the workload shared instead of putting the onus on just you to respond to the prompt they likely put very little work into. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anthony-mcdaniel-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@AnthonyMcDaniel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know one consultant who has started billing in credits &#8211; like the work we outlined in this scope is equal to 10 credits. And if they used up 10 credits with extra stuff, then they have to buy more. It is an interesting idea <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d say data analysis has become easier for me, and I&#8217;ve even built my own little search lift tool inside claude. it&#8217;s very good at specific tasks I find. When there&#8217;s a mood\/vibe\/biz change\/govt rule change, it&#8217;s much less helpful <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like the phrase &#8220;asymmetric warfare&#8221; &#8211; the knowledge isn&#8217;t equal and yet, it&#8217;s also hard to convince the person sometimes that I, the human, have more of it than the machine. I do like being able to process\/analyze more data more quickly.AI is certainly helping with my inbox and task management. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/revaminkoff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@revaminkoff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/revaminkoff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@revaminkoff<\/a> teach me your ways! My copilot, how do I put this, SUCKS at helping with my inbox and task mgmt <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will add that having a little section in your contracts on your scope change process is very helpful for AI review creep. If you clearly lay out how you handle changes in the scope of the agreed upon work, it makes it much easier to have the conversation that all the additional AI output review is not included in the scope of work and will either cost extra or they need to STOP IT. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may have even been <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a> that I heard that from. Or Kirk Williams&#8217; keynote at Hero Conf? or a combo of the two. But I&#8217;m planning to start initiating more phone calls as a response to AI claudits\/requests. It&#8217;ll be interesting to see how much clients\/colleagues actually want to discuss the topics they&#8217;re presenting vs. just pass along their recent prompts for me to handle. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anthony-mcdaniel-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@AnthonyMcDaniel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anthony-mcdaniel-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@AnthonyMcDaniel<\/a> I think that sometimes they just want to know that they&#8217;ve got it handled. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>oh, the first thing I thought was how NOT using AI is making it easier to stand out in ads. Sure, a lot of people are not savvy, but there are a LOT of people who notice the difference in copy\/creatives and reject them. So in a sea of AI, they respond to our ads (given a chance).&nbsp; Of course, forced AI integration is creating a time suck like never before so we can do LESS in the same amount of time. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ynotweb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@ynotweb<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is always a good idea to try to get to the WHY when clients are repeating any behavior <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anthony-mcdaniel-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@AnthonyMcDaniel<\/a> I like that. One thing I&#8217;ve started doing is asking people &#8220;What makes you feel that way&#8221; or &#8220;What&#8217;s the reason behind your suggestion&#8221;. This at least gets them to admit it&#8217;s AI and 90% of the time they just copy-paste what AI says so they don&#8217;t actually know what they&#8217;re asking. This has been pretty goot at getting me off the hook haha <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/williamhboggs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@williamhboggs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a> most definitely. The hard part is that sometimes the thing they want handled, doesn&#8217;t really need to be handled in the first place. but hopefully a real conversation will help draw out that reality. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anthony-mcdaniel-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@AnthonyMcDaniel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anthony-mcdaniel-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@AnthonyMcDaniel<\/a> I should have been clearer. It&#8217;s been my experience with a few clients that they ask AI a question and then pass the answer to me. They don&#8217;t necessarily want me to execute on it, I think they just want to feel comfortable that they&#8217;ve done their bit (ask this machine-god who knows everything) and passed the answer onto someone who understands it. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a> Ahhh, yeah got it. I think that&#8217;s probably right, and helps to know when that&#8217;s the case, because then at least we know that we don&#8217;t necessarily need to execute on this bad recommendation. Very valid. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anthony-mcdaniel-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@AnthonyMcDaniel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I run campaigns in several languages ,and I use Gemini to revise ad copy and come up with new keywords. It isn&#8217;t always perfect, but I know enough to catch the glaring errors and smooth out the obvious &#8220;AI speak&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rebeccawarne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@rebeccawarne<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q5-what-are-you-most-worried-or-excited-about-when-you-think-about-your-future-in-ppc\"><strong>Q5: What are you most worried or excited about when you think about your future in PPC?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m worried I&#8217;ll lose my job, even indirectly. My company probably won&#8217;t fire me, but fewer clients = fewer jobs etc. And I&#8217;m VERY worried future me will have a career in picking up the pieces after AI clearcuts entire sectors. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am eagerly awaiting the AI bubble popping so we can see where everything settles out to. Because this race and pace we are on is not sustainable. Beyond that, I worry about the loss of institutional knowledge, both in PPC and in our clients. And people generally being willing to outsource their thinking. Because for me, the problem solving and thinking is what I like about this job\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worried they literally will make it impossible to USE OUR BETTER JUDGMENT and require AI to be able to touch our ads and creatives. In a world where everyone let&#8217;s the AI rewrite\/create, NOTHING is original and nothing will work.\u00a0 I worry that it makes it so completely UNFUN to work in this field, I might as well plan on retiring early and find a new fun job. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ynotweb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@ynotweb<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ynotweb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@ynotweb<\/a> the fun loss is real! and it is directly connected to the knowledge loss. Everybody, read some fiction this month I beg you! exercise those imagination muscles. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ynotweb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@ynotweb<\/a> I totally agree on the likely homogenization of everything. How can anything stand out if it is all machine generated by the same machine???? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ynotweb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@ynotweb<\/a> The FUN bit is exactly what I&#8217;m worried about. I&#8217;ve been so lucky to do interesting and challenging work, and get paid for it, for so long that the idea of it being less interesting and fun is apalling <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pete_Bowen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Pete_Bowen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m worried about what happens when PPC pros start retiring or moving on to non-PPC roles and there aren&#8217;t opportunities for new\u00a0 people to start filling the gaps. If all intern\/entry level work is replaced by AI, how are we going to get the next generation of sr level PPC folks to actually manage the AI? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anthony-mcdaniel-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@AnthonyMcDaniel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Worry:<\/strong> AI is removing the opportunities for new people to get into PPC. The loss of junior-level practitioners will be felt for years. <strong>Excited:<\/strong> The tools available today are more powerful than any we&#8217;ve ever seen and they are accessible (cost and capability). In the right hands so much good can be achieved. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/robert_brady\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@robert_brady<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am also worried about the platforms getting even more opaque and not showing very much data to us at all. So much of what we do it looking at all kinds of data and synthesizing it to come up with ideas to make performance stronger. Without that data, that becomes very hard if not impossible. And I don\u2019t think I would enjoy that. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NeptuneMoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NeptuneMoon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to TV days. put ad on tv. wait. sales? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JuliaVyse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@JuliaVyse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve kept quiet and appreciated all the insights shared but want to comment on this one because I think it&#8217;s useful to voice hope and fear: What I&#8217;m hopeful about: our industry has never been more accessible and I&#8217;m genuinely excited about all the growth that&#8217;s possible. What I fear: I&#8217;m watching humans make choices that aren&#8217;t always healthy and while there are some who &#8220;vote with their wallet&#8221; the vast majority are too lazy to make choices that would actually cause real disruption. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/navahhopkins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@navahhopkins<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People are inherently a bit lazy these days, so the siren song of AI hits hard.
