🚨New legal notification surrounding AI:

The case regarded copyright protection of “AI-created” works (Thaler v. Perlmutter, Case No. 25-449) has been labeled a victory for many and a loss for others. The Supreme Court declined to grant review, which affirmed the US Copyright Office (USCO) requirement of human authorship in order to be eligible for copyright protection.

How does this affect your business?

➡️For starters, this means that anything you use AI to “create” does not belong to you. If you have used AI to create a logo, branding, flyers—those can be used by anyone from a legal standpoint.

➡️ If you are an artist or creator, I would work on copyrighting everything you’ve made. AI will steal from you (that’s what it does, nothing it makes is original, yall) but you can begin the legal process to protect yourself with the knowledge the precedent has been set.

➡️ This is another case of many where we are seeing the limitations of Artificial Intelligence and its use in the business world. Legally, we now can make the assumption that if you use AI to hire people you could be sued and lose, as well as the loss of copyrighting anything you’ve used AI with.

💕 The good news is that if you’ve been on the fence about adopting AI, you can rest assured that waiting might be the best course of action.

We’ve heard a lot that AI is “inevitable” and we are being left behind, but the data doesn’t support this. The longer AI is used the more we will see the legality shake out the only ways we will be able to implement it safely, if at all.

*it must be stated that at Magpie Marketing LLC, we do not use artificial intelligence nor do we support it. Many of our clients use it for a variety of purposes, but we never have and never will. We are 100% hissed against AI, so please take that into consideration when making your own decisions for your business.

It’s YOUR taste. I see a lot of designers and marketers on this app frustrated that the client they’re working with likes the design they hate. And I get it! You have the expertise on this front, your own style, and you know what works.

It must always be a balance—the customer is always right in the matter of taste. If they want ugly branding THAT IS OKAY. What they want is paramount.

If you’re a small business owner, don’t feel guilty for providing feedback. Good marketers thrive with feedback. And be willing to accept some from experts, but know it is always your choice. You are the customer here, babes! You have the final say 💕

Don’t let people bully you out of your unique style. I’d rather see wonky branding than AI generated branding that almost looks good!

Be 👏 YOU 👏 or 👏 don’t 👏 do👏 it👏 at👏all!

The world is changing: Artificial intelligence is sopping up brain power, water, and attention spans. Everything is shifting to inhuman and automated.

When the world decides humanity isn’t profitable, the natural reverb will be for human made products and genuine relationships will be sought out.

Instead of trying to stay ahead of the curve, figure out who YOU are first. Dive into your sense of style, art, what you like, what you don’t like. Dance freely without trying to learn a routine. Find people who allow you to feel like yourself.

BE YOURSELF AND SEE REAL SUCCESS 🦋

Just a quick refresher: I am not a tax accountant. I literally cry every year while doing my taxes.

You should NOT take tax advice from influencers on social media—they may be spreading misinformation on purpose or by accident.

This is also a great time of year to begin tracking your expenses in a detailed spreadsheet, app, or by hand. It makes next years tax season much easier (there will still be tears, but not because you lost track of your expenses at least).

Good luck, my friends! 🫡

Ah the good ol AI headshot. People have loved making fun of them since it rolled out.

But can you use it for your professional headshot? No, boo boo.

1) People do not trust AI, but particularly AI photos and videos.

2) It may flag you to clients as spam or scam (both are not ideal when building trust).

3. You should be yourself in all areas of your business—and that includes how you look.

I’m not your mom—if you like the way your AI headshot looks that’s awesome. You do you. But if you want to humanize your marketing and build lasting relationships with your customers? I wouldn’t recommend it.

Ahhh! Canva hack fresh from a frustrating video editing session.

Have the updates made your life easier? Or did you cry today (like me)?

Thankful to all the crazy people that post obscure questions on Reddit! 🙌🏻
