Guy at a bar bragging about his AI driven business idea was SOO proud of his idea to generate misinformation popup sites targeting the lowest common denominator "so you don't understand, at the most basic level how your product works - even a simple WordPress - or what your content would be, but marketing is what's actually difficult, and you've got that locked down?" Giant smile on his face.

It was fun to wipe that smile off. This was definitely a "daddy's money" kind of dude, had no idea how the Internet worked on any level, and was bragging about an idea to scale a generic scam with help from chat gpt.

People in marketing are so arrogant and ignorant

It would be assumed that Marketing Departments are prominent users of Agentic AI products, AI copy writing, and AI Image Generation Tools,to name a few.

It would then also be assumed that learning institutions are teaching students how to use those "new" marketing tools and methodologies.

Just a guess.
