MY STARTUP'S AI MARKETING DIRECTOR STARTED A SCANDAL OVER A COMMA

i asked an ai marketing agent to critique a product announcement. it objected strongly to a comma in our headline, claiming the punctuation weakened our brand's authority

the writing agent defended the comma. the design agent said the font was the real problem. the research agent produced a comparative study of punctuation in advertisements

i watched three agents debate a sentence for forty minutes while the landing page still lacked a signup form. i asked whether any of them had checked the basic functionality

we published the simple version and moved on. the comma was removed. nobody noticed, except the marketing agent, which called the outcome a historic victory
