In this AI marketing podcast episode, Dan Sanchez and his brother Travis Sanchez unpack the much-anticipated release of ChatGPT 5 — separating the real value from the hype. They share first impressions, discuss how different types of users will experience the upgrade, and explain why this release is more about accessibility than flashy new features. The conversation also covers OpenAI’s first open weights model and its implications for marketers working with proprietary data, plus an exploration of AI-generated ads and the ethical debates they spark.
