An AI lab just ran a test that should make every business owner look twice at what they pay their agency.
Six scientists, split into teams. Three had world-leading experts. Three had generalists with AI instead. The generalists won - work that takes a specialist up to 95 days, done in 16 hours.

That's the part changing fast.
