Saw a competitor's AI ad flop hard at a trade show in Chicago last month

I was at the Midwest Marketing Expo in Chicago and watched a company demo their AI ad tool live on stage, but it generated a super awkward tagline that got dead silence. It made me realize how easy it is to over-rely on these tools without testing them first in low stakes settings. Has anyone else had an AI tool embarrass them in front of a crowd or client?

Bet on the wrong horse there, didn't you?

80th street in the warehouse district had three straight years of profit growth under that model, not a decline. The margins there actually improved by 12% after they switched to that same approach the critics warned against. Sometimes the numbers tell a different story than the loudest voices online want you to believe.
