# Asking AI To Do The Wrong Job

## Quote

> 'Most creative strategists and digital marketers are using AI completely wrong. And it's not necessarily because they're bad at prompting or even that they're using the wrong tools, it's because they're asking AI to do the wrong job.'

— [[entity-dara-denney|Dara Denney]]

## Context

Opening hook of the video. Sets up the central argument that the *job description* assigned to AI is the failure mode — not prompting skill or tool choice.
