Today’s brands are competing for attention in places they can’t always see. But at the same time audiences are rebelling against the rise of AI slop.

AB Strategies Principal Antonia Bowring is an author, executive coach, and longtime Chief Guide. About a year ago, I found myself feeling very anxious about the future. Both of my sons were in college, my work was going well, and I wasn’t planning to retire. In fact, I’m seemingly allergic to that word and its connotations.
