6 Months In: My Open and Honest Thoughts on ChatGPT
Spoiler Alert: ChatGPT has supercharged my productivity and has been a powerful co-creator in my business, but it still requires YOU.
I heard a statistic on a podcast recently that really got me thinking: about 68% of people are aware of ChatGPT, but only 14% are actually utilising it.
AI, in particular ChatGPT has really changed the way I work (for the better!) and over the past few months, I’ve learnt how to use the tool to boost my efficiency and consistency but keeping things authentic to me and my businesses.
If your still on the fence about it, I understand, I was hesitant too, but stay with me on this one.
Here's my 4 tips for strategically utilising ChatGPT for Creatives and Service Providers:
1. Step in with a Strategy
Diving in blind could have meant I would of written the platform off from the get go, but I was lucky enough to find Jess Clark, an amazing mentor and AI coach for women. I began with her digital product - BrandPrompt, which is a brilliant, cost-effective way to start.
Trust me, having a strategy about how to train and use ChatGPT makes all the difference. I am now part of her Coaching Membership (AI BFF) and I’m continually learning how to leverage ChatGPT for myself and my clients.
2. Quality In, Quality Out
Understanding what prompts to give ChatGPT really elevates the content it generates for you. Ever noticed how some online content sounds like it’s straight from a robert? That’s because the input matters. In a world where standing out is key, you don't want your business to blend in with everyone else's.
3. Keeping it YOU
Sure, you can train ChatGPT to catch your brand's tone and language (and it can do an incredible job), but the final touch should always be yours. It's great for drafting an exceptional 1st/2nd or 3rd draft, but I'm always there adding my personal flair. A bit of editing here and there makes it uniquely mine.
Remember, it's about efficiency without sacrificing your brand and unique flavour.
4. The Potential is Endless
At first, you might think ChatGPT is just for emails and social captions. But, it's so much more! Once you get the hang of it, the possibilities are endless – from brainstorming ideas to crafting high-level strategies, and everything in between. And there’s more - ChatGPT is constantly evolving, with each new feature or plugin release, it unlocks another level of possibility and productivity.
The world of AI is just getting started and ChatGPT can really become a valuable co-creator for your business! It's been an incredible journey, and I know things are just getting started. If you're not using ChatGPT yet, now's the time to explore its potential.
