Vikki Ross spent most of last year believing the headlines that said AI was coming for copywriters, pondering whether what she loved doing most could be automated. She started a podcast specifically to ask industry leaders how they were replacing creatives with AI, and got the same answer from every one of them: they weren't. She joins Shann and Lynette to work out what AI still can't do with words, what's stopping it from reaching that stage. Along the way: why Virgin Voyages' AI-written copy could have belonged to any brand, what has gone wrong with car advertising, and why "anything that feels really easy to read was probably really hard to write."
