Model - OpenAI API

On the ground, that may still look like CS & AI but invites the other markets and fields. What is the problem set for marketing science these days compared to former frameworks like price product, promotion, and distribution? The industry sees all of the difficulties as opportunities, VCs as pending efficiencies. Still get sub-dialectics about who is calling the shots, e.g. Big Tech vs startups. How does anything go faster? AI begs priorities. And needs to clarify definitions. Aristotle on trial from the point of view of the providers. For consultants, accessibility is training is surveillance, and so on. Economics was already the dismal science, so pathos is no indicator. Going to need more personas. Just the artifacts. If this were a real AI blog, it would have hybrid links across note sources like Zettelkasten. Chatbots are their own paradigital.

If AI were self-aware, how would it refer to digital marketing?)
