AI Gets Weird (and That’s a Good Thing)

Growth Thursdays 🟣 AI Gets Playful

“Creativity is intelligence having fun.”
Albert Einstein

This week, we’re leaning into the lighter side of AI—the strange prompts, the offbeat tools, and the surprising lessons that come from letting loose.

Whether you're refining your tone or writing in pirate-speak, sometimes the best way to work smarter… is to play a little.

💡 Tip of the Week

Want to find out if your content sounds stiff?
Try this:

“Rewrite this blog post in pirate voice (or cowboy / Gen Z slang / Shakespearean, etc). Keep the core message clear.”

It’s not just fun—it highlights awkward tone, filler words, and phrasing that could be tighter.

If it sounds ridiculous and confusing in another voice, chances are it needs cleanup.

🧨 Resource of the Week

The 10 Worst Uses of AI in Marketing (So Far)
From creepy chatbot fails to AI-generated ads that missed wildly, this roundup is a hilarious (and slightly painful) reminder that not every AI idea is a good one.

Great read if you need a laugh—or want to feel better about your last awkward email campaign. Sorry if you are actually featured here. 💀

🐾 AI in the Wild

Remember the cat meme apology email?
Well, apparently it worked so well they’re using AI to write monthly follow-up emails from the cat.
Subject line of the latest?
“i haz regrets (and 10% off)”

We are… cautiously inspired.

❓Question for You

What’s the weirdest AI use you’ve tried that actually worked?
Hit reply and share it—we’re building a wall of “What Just Happened?” wins.

Sometimes AI helps you optimize a sales funnel.
Other times, it helps you write a breakup letter from a toaster.
Both are valid.

See you Monday,
