Client: “Make it pop.”
Creative: “Could you tell me more what you mean by that?”
Client: “Yeah, just, you know… like… give it more… pizzazz. Hoozah. Bang bang.”
Creative: “I’ll come back to with some options.”
Client: “Okay.”
Silicon Valley: “Hey Client, want to save money not paying Creative to make it pop?”
Client: “Yes, absolutely.”
Creative: “Hey!”
Silicon Valley: “Here’s PopAI, which makes everything pop. See, here’s some samples that totally pop.”
Creative: “Those things don’t pop. They don’t look right at all.”
Silicon Valley and Client: “Nonsense, they pop to me.”
Client: “Great job thx Silicon Valley. So long Creative.”
Creative: “Hey!”
Silicon Valley: “Listen if you wanted a career, you'd do more productive things than making things pop.”
Client: “PopAI, make it pop!”
PopAI: [output.]
Client: “Uh. No. Redo it, but make it more… uh… huzzah.”
PopAI: [otuptu.]
Client: “Nooo! More… uhh… bang bang in the geewhiz fashion!”
PopAI: [fckuoy.]
Client: “Silicon Valley, PopAI isn’t making it pop right.”
Silicon Valley: “They look right to me.”
Client: “No no they look like your samples, except not as good. Not my product.”
Creative: “Told you.”
Silicon Valley: “That’s because you don’t know how to prompt it correctly.” ←We are here.
Client: “Creative! You’re rehired. Make PopAI make it pop.”
Creative: “Again: what do you mean by that?”
Client: “Hoozah! Whizbang! Flourish!”
Creative: “Here’s… uh… options from PopAI…”
Client: “None of those look good!”
Creative: “I know.”
Silicon Valley: “That’s because you didn't prompt it correctly!”
Client: “Silicon Valley, update PopAI to make it pop right under Creative's instructions!”
Silicon Valley: [Seething] “FINE. Creative, tell us how to make things pop.”
Creative: “What do you mean by that?”
Silicon Valley: “This isn't philosophical! Just show us how you make things pop!”
Creative: “Depends on the situation.”
Silicon Valley: “In most situations!’
Creative: “There is no most situations.”
Silicon Valley: “Stupid pretentious artsy fartsy nonsense, tell us what the formulae are that makes things pop!”
Creative: “Like bang bang pop or gollygee willikers pop?”
Silicon Valley: “Yes, yes, both, and all the other whatsits and golly gees!”
Creative: [shrugs] I dunno, it depends on what you mean by whatsits and golly gees.”
Silicon Valley: “ Howdeedoos!Wowzers!SPIFFIES!!“
Creative: “I can send you some options.”
Client: “Can I just get my goddamned product?!” ←The impending AI crash.
Creative: “Sure, will take me a week to send you the first mock up.”
Client: “How long with PopAI.”
Creative: “… A week.”
Client: “I don’t care how you do it just get it done! AND MAKE IT POP!”
