Seriously. Close a few. Your laptop fan will thank you. Most marketers are still using AI like a faster copywriter — type prompt, get words, paste into document, repeat until deadline. Totally valid. Also roughly equivalent to buying a sports car and only using it to back out of the driveway. [✅ Subscribe to AI Weekly on LinkedIn] The real breakthrough happening right now?

Claude Opus 4.6: The AI That Actually Finishes the Job
Remember when "AI for marketing" meant asking a chatbot to rewrite your bio and hoping it didn't call you "a passionate thought leader who is passionate about passion"? Those days are over.
