We Hate that We Love AI. Here’s Why…

We’ve been working with AI a lot lately – not in a hype-driven “it’s going to change our world forever” kind of way, but in the day-to-day reality of getting-good-work-out-the-door kind of way.

We’ve been working with AI a lot lately – not in a hype-driven “it’s going to change our world forever” kind of way, but in the day-to-day reality of getting-good-work-out-the-door kind of way. And somewhere along the line, we realised we’re in a full-blown love-hate relationship with it.

We LOVE that it makes us better at what we do

AI helps us analyse work, unpack briefs, and spot patterns we might otherwise miss. But it’s still just a tool – the real thinking, judgement, and direction come from us.

BUT we HATE when clients use it to provide feedback

We love when AI supports the process, but not when feedback comes back copied and pasted straight from it. More than anything, we need to know what you think and whether it feels right to you.

We LOVE that it clears space for real thinking

AI takes care of the repetitive tasks that eat into creative time and energy. But that time saved only matters if it’s used to think better, not just move faster.

But we HATE that it creates unrealistic expectations

AI can speed things up, and we love that. But good work still takes time, and no tool can shortcut proper thinking and refinement.

We LOVE that it helps us ask better questions

AI can be a useful starting point, helping us unpack a brief and look at it from different angles. Of course, it works best when it’s guiding the thinking, not replacing it.

But we HATE receiving AI briefs

A well-structured brief is fantastic, but not when it’s long, unpolished, and still unclear on what you actually need. Give us a few honest, direct points over a four-page AI document any day.

AI has made a lot of things easier, faster, and more accessible. But it hasn’t replaced experience, instinct, or the human side of creativity.

If you’re using AI in your business, the real advantage isn’t just using it. It’s knowing where it helps, where it doesn’t, and where real thinking needs to step in.

For the rest, let us do the creative thinking for your brand!
