They unpack what 700M weekly ChatGPT users and one‑third of U.S. adults using AI means for marketers, why SEO as we know it is on a two‑year clock, how buying and learning behaviors are shifting to AI‑guided journeys, and the practical ways they’re using AI this week—from homeschool voice chats to rapid live show builds.
