AI can make incredible visuals fast… but it can’t magically give you infinite control, quality, and a 90% discount.
In this episode, Dan and Joe get real about what it actually takes to produce professional, on-brand creative using today’s AI tools. They break down why AI projects still require serious effort, why “creative flexibility” is the #1 survival skill, and how the best teams use AI to expand what’s possible, not replace the process entirely.
They also dig into the risks marketers need to plan for upfront, from legal reviews and model selection to setting the right expectations with stakeholders who think AI equals “cheap and instant.”
If you’re a marketer exploring AI video and visual production, this episode is your guide to doing it the smart way.
