Why AI Can’t Replace Your Marketing Brain (Yet) – CustomGPT VS Niche LLM

In this solo episode of The AI-Driven Marketer, Dan Sanchez dives into the intriguing question: “Can AI replace your marketing brain?” Spoiler alert—AI isn’t quite there yet. Inspired by a LinkedIn discussion, Dan explores two key approaches to replicating your marketing expertise with AI: CustomGPTs and niche-trained LLMs (Large Language Models). He explains why these tools, while powerful, still fall short of fully capturing the depth and nuance of human expertise. Dan shares his personal experiments and insights on using AI to enhance, but not replace, your unique marketing abilities.
