## Resource

In part two of our conversation with Sean Sweeney, we dig into the messy, real-world intersection of AI, advertising, and the future of work. From whether brands should disclose AI-generated creative to what “authenticity” even means in marketing, Sean and Matt openly disagree, and that’s where the gold is. We explore the legal and practical angles of AI disclosure, the double standards between AI and past production techniques, and how fast-evolving tools are reshaping creative teams. We also zoom out to the bigger picture: which jobs are most at risk, why upskilling is non-negotiable, and how the “age of AI” might elevate live performance and human connection rather than replace it. If you’re leading a brand or building your career, this episode is a field guide to preparing for the dip and coming out stronger on the other side. Highlights: AI in ad creative and whether consumers care, the liability lens for disclosure, authenticity vs. effectiveness in marketing, double standards across AI/CGI/music, job loss and creation (and the gap in between), the urgency of upskilling, real-world automation from warehouses to robotics at home, and why human-centered experiences could thrive in an automated economy. Connect with Sean Sweeney on LinkedIn for ongoing insights (link in show notes), and don’t miss part one for PMax, geo tracking, and where brands quietly lose money.   https://www.firstpositiondigitalsolutions.com/   Looking for a podcast guest?
