This week on Marketing Sucks, Amanda and Phil take on one of the most painfully obvious problems in modern marketing: AI-generated content that sounds polished, empty, and completely forgettable. Through a game of “Marketing Guru or AI Slop,” they compare real quotes from iconic marketing voices against fake AI-written ones and break down exactly why bad AI content is so easy to spot. From vague fluff words and overused language to generic ideas with no real point of view, this episode gets into what makes content feel human, sharp, and worth paying attention to. They also share five practical ways to clean up AI-assisted writing so it actually sounds like you, not a robot trying to be inspirational on LinkedIn. If your brand voice is starting to sound suspiciously like everyone else’s, this episode is your wake-up call.
