This Old Marketing Joe Pulizzi & Robert Rose

Big news this week as leaked Google search API documents are released into the world. The TLDR? Google has been lying about how it formulates search results. What do we know? Google manipulates content like an editor of a media company would. But does it even matter?
AI scams are hitting a tipping point as we get closer to the US elections.
OpenAI inks two more content deals and Elon raises money for xAI.
Hits and misses include a home appliance store and Cheez-Its. 
Rants and raves include marketing agencies and GaryVee's commencement speech.

While the world gets distracted by Scarlett Johansson's possible case against OpenAI, the AI giant continues to do deals with media companies. 
This time, Open AI signed a deal with News Corp (owners of WSJ) for $250 million over five years (reported). Who's next?
Trump Media's quarterly reported was more than a disaster, and yet the stock keeps going up.
And we have a nice disagreement about whether Chick-fil-A should embrace or fire their internal social media influencers. 
Hits and misses include GaryVee's new book and Coca-Cola lens.
Rants and raves include content marketing platforms and a nice rave for the Cleveland Guardians baseball team.

It was another crazy week in AI news.
On the heals of Google's AI announcement, OpenAI launches ChatGPT4 Omni (o). What does the new iteration mean for creators and marketers?

In the latest social media soap opera, TikTok has sued the US Government over its potential "ban," bringing out the unconstitutional card. Is this just a stalling tactic? Yes...and it's working.

And Hollywood continues to lack standards with AI. Is it simply too late?
