Show Notes
In this AI marketing podcast episode, Dan Sanchez and his brother Travis ask the uncomfortable question: is AI actually making marketing worse? They unpack how speed can quietly erode trust, dive into the OpenClaw/OpenAI drama shaping the future of autonomous agents, and break down what’s new with Gemini 3.1 Thinking and Claude 4.6—plus practical, real-life ways they used AI this week.
