Should You Let Clients Know You’re Using AI? | Listener Questions

AI is changing everything – but how much should you say about using it?

In this episode, I’m answering listener questions about the messy world of marketing with AI: ethical dilemmas, burnout, client fears, and the pressure to be perfect (and fast).

From freelancers losing work to AI to internal teams unsure how to position their AI-assisted work, this episode digs into the unspoken tension many marketers are feeling right now and how to handle it.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Should you disclose when you use AI for your work?
  • Why “AI saves time” can backfire fast
  • How to position yourself as a strategist (even if you’re not one)
  • When perfectionism helps, and when it’s just procrastination
  • Why some clients are firing their freelancers for AI, and how to respond
  • How to ride a viral moment for all its worth

If you’re feeling undervalued, overworked, or unsure how to keep up with the AI wave, this one’s for you.
