When tools like Claude went mainstream, many knowledge workers felt uneasy. For freelance copywriter Leigh Ann Shelton, the impact was immediate and financial. Shelton’s job was to do what good copywriters have always done: translate a client’s voice into persuasive marketing language. Websites. Campaigns. Brand messaging.

Organizations are bleeding capital on investments in artificial intelligence (AI), with often little to show for it. As executives throw cash at expensive tools and chaotic pilot projects, the promise of AI-driven transformation remains elusive. The problem isn’t the technology.

His 1,900 employees across...
