Challenge
Our World is speeding up and due to our global networks, everyone can know everything all the time, if you make an effort to keep up with what your competitors are inventing and launching 24/7/365.
That's one of the main reasons the average life expectancy of e.g. Fortune 500 companies shrunk from 75 to under 15 years.
Complacency is not an option anymore if you want to stay successful.

LLM differences: Claude vs. the World
Claude V2 is the only LLM I used due to its 100,000 tokens and 100 MB limit. This is AI LLM prompt and outcome is my result after my 1st test, which I could have further improved upon, but I'll keep those skills to myself and paying customers 😉
This whole post took me less than 2 hours: from coming up with this idea to gathering my benchmark files, structuring the AI input, engineering my LLM prompt, creating my AI car image with Leonardo.ai and writing this post.
Recommendations
Adjust my prompt example by feeding it your own benchmark data, e.g. PDFs from Cannes Lions, Most Contagious Annuals, Dentsu Creative Trends, Webby Awards, Julian Cole, BBH Labs, Wunderman Thompson's 100 Creative Trends, etc.
