In this week's episode of The AI Moment, Jonathan and I tackle a term that's been unavoidable lately: "AI slop."

We're all seeing it, the endless stream of low-quality, inaccurate, and uninspired content flooding our feeds. But this isn't just about digital noise; it's a serious risk to your brand's reputation and the trust you've built with your audience. We discuss how easily the pressure to produce content at scale can lead to a "good enough" mindset, which simply isn't good enough anymore.

So, how do you fight back?

We explore the crucial mindset shift from chasing volume to delivering value. It's about using AI to augment your intelligence, not replace it. Jonathan introduces a brilliant analogy that cuts right to the heart of the matter: are you an "AI Sheep," merely outsourcing your thinking, or an "AI Lion," using these powerful tools to sharpen your ideas and deepen your expertise?

I also share a practical look into my own workflow, demonstrating how you can repurpose high-value content into different formats to reach your audience where they are, without sacrificing quality.

AI Tools Mentioned:

• Sora 2 - OpenAI’s new app that dominated the US app store for over a week

• NotebookLM - Both of our favourite tool by Google

Our core takeaway for leaders: In a world drowning in digital slop, your commitment to quality, authenticity, and verifiable authority is your greatest differentiator.

Making slides and decks in AI

Welcome back to the latest episode of The AI Moment.

Ever found yourself drowning in a sea of text, wishing you could wave a magic wand and turn it into a stunning presentation? This week, Jonathan and I explored exactly that.

We tackled the big question: what's the best AI for creating and polishing slide decks?

My top recommendation, and a real game-changer in my opinion, is Gamma (gamma.app). If you've got a document packed with great content but lack the designer's touch, this tool is for you. It excels at transforming text into visually engaging slides, empowering you to create decks you'd be proud to present. It truly unlocks your inner designer.

We also discussed how other tools like Microsoft’s Copilot are catching up, though they often need a firmer hand to guide them visually. The overarching theme is clear: AI is rapidly moving beyond a novelty and becoming an essential tool for business communications. It’s here to help us reclaim the hours spent tweaking slides, so we can focus on what really matters—the message itself.

So, here are your calls to action: Give Gamma a try with your next internal report or presentation and see the magic for yourself. We'd love to see what you create, so please do share your results with us!

AI Tools Mentioned:

• Gamma (gamma.app)

• Microsoft Copilot

• Google Slides / Gemini

• NotebookLM

• Claude

• ChatGPT

• Canva

What is the future of advertising in the age of AI?

AI Moment Podcast 27

Hello and welcome back to the AI Moment.

Danny (Denhard) here breaking down podcast #27.

In this episode, Jonathan and I tackle a question I’ve been thinking about a great deal:

Forget the simple, keyword-based ads we're used to. I believe we're heading towards a far more exciting and integrated future.

I shared my vision for a new hybrid ad model, one that blends the best of search, social media, and even traditional TV advertising to create something entirely new and genuinely useful.

Imagine ads that don't just answer a query but provide a personalised solution right there in the chat – a custom-built report, a pre-populated spreadsheet, or even the ability to buy an entire outfit with a single click.

This isn't just a theoretical concept; it's what I call ‘agentic’ advertising, and it’s going to force us all to rethink what an ad can be.

We also discussed the practicalities for businesses. How do you measure success when an ad delivers a bespoke, high-value asset instead of just a click? We explored the huge opportunities this presents but also considered the critical importance of brand safety in a world of potential AI hallucinations. Furthermore, I offered my predictions on how the major AI players like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini might specialise their ad offerings to cater to different markets, from consumer goods to complex developer tools.

It was a fascinating conversation that went deep into how advertising could transform from a necessary evil into a valuable service.

This is a massive opportunity for brands to connect with customers in a completely new way.
