Been testing @Ecomrads AI a lot lately. Honestly one of the most impressive AI creative tools I've used this year. The only problem is... I keep running out of credits before I run out of ideas 😂 @PromotingAI I'd happily make even more content if I had a little more room to experiment.

FULL INTERVIEW: The Economist's Callum Williams says only about 25% of American businesses use AI four years in, when most people in 2023 would have bet on nearly all of them. Ask CFOs what AI has done for their bottom line, and he says it "basically balances to zero." @econcallum is the senior economics writer at @TheEconomist.
