etn.(@etnshow):Profound CEO @thejamescad thinks that creating AI slop is a skill issue and: "Slop is a skill issue". "We see some of the best teams on the planet are able to create marketing that is better than anything you've ever seen using AI, and we see people throw in a one-line prompt and create slop". "So it's a vector of skill."

Excited to announce that @profound has raised a $180M Series D led by @sequoia and @kleinerperkins. AI was quick to transform verifiable domains like software engineering. It is now doing the same across every vertical. Profound is diffusing AI into the marketing org at the enterprise level. This opportunity, to redefine one of the world's largest and most interesting industries, is once in a lifetime. We will not waste it.
