The Jon Miller Predictions and Editing the Mediocre out of AI Episode
MAY 2, 202659 MIN
Description
This week, former Forrester Research Director, Jeff Clark, is back in the studio with our host Ian Truscott to discuss a predictions post from Jon Miller on the ChiefMartec blog, from back in January.
Jon Miller is described as a legend in our industry, the co-founder and original CMO of Marketo, and the former CMO of DemandBase; his opinion is well worth watching.
The extensive article that inspired this conversation makes 13 predictions, and, of course, following the show's editorial policy, Ian and Jeff pick 5 that resonate most with them.
They discuss:
Marketers will begin marketing to agents, not just humans
Taste, trust, and accountability will become the antidote to AI slop
Composable stacks will be mainstream by 2030, but <20% will adopt in 2026
AI will completely transform legacy SaaS martech - but not in 2026
AI-driven uncertainty will intensify in 2026; preparation is the only answer
Ian then joins Robert Rose in the virtual bar, The Rose & Rockstar.
They keep the AI theme going with a discussion about an article from The Content Marketing Institute - Good Editing Makes AI Content Memorable - and discuss whether it’s true that editing can make mediocre AI content memorable, following some criticism of this article on LinkedIn.
Enjoy!
