The Middle Path: Why AI's Future Isn't Hype or Doom
The one thing you need to know in AI today | AI Ready CMO
We had a great conversation with Jing Hu founder of 2nd Order Thinkers. She’s a journalist and researcher who’s made a name for herself by saying what most AI commentators won’t: the uncomfortable parts– the data that doesn’t fit the narrative—the risks everyone wants to ignore.
Jing’s not a cheerleader or a doomer. She reads the studies, tracks the implementation data, and reports what she finds—even when it contradicts the prevailing wisdom. In our conversation, we challenged each other on AI’s real impact on creativity, jobs, and thinking itself. We discussed taste as a competitive moat, why AI collapses into mediocrity, and the paradox facing every content creator today.
