[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Tactics are the output of strategy. Tactics are not the input of strategy. So you don't take Claude as an input. Claude is a tactic. You don't put that as an input and then just say, hey Claude, this is what we see a lot. Monday morning, Claude, I need five LinkedIn posts. No, no. Claude's gonna do it. He's gonna give you five LinkedIn posts. But then you are, you are just muddying the water. You are making things so much worse.
