When my son-in-law comes over to help me with a project, I marvel at his battery-operated screw driver.
How quickly it does the job.
I remember watching my dad and brothers use hand-held screwdrivers and how long it took.
Now I could look at the battery-operated screwdriver and think, “I can do that,” and maybe I could, with a little practice.
But I also know I am inept when it comes to using my hands for anything mechanical, I fumble. Plus I know nothing about construction. I trust that someone knowledgeable and experienced in construction is going to make better use of that power tool than I.
It’s the same principle with AI writers, like ChatGPT.
The average non-writer might be able to make it work, but it’s going to take a lot of practice.
And the non-writer is not likely to be a marketing or web writer. That takes a heck of a lot more practice and know-how.
So unless you determine to commit time and energy to both learning to use an AI writer plus marketing and web writing skills, you will still need to make use of a human writer.
In my next tip, I’ll give an example of how I have used ChatGPT.
CAVEAT: I use AI writers for research only. All text generated must be completely rewritten in order to avoid possible copyright infringement, get higher SEO rankings (all things being equal, I believe Google will reward human writing over robots), and for that unique human touch.
Easy Web Tip 356: Go ahead and use AI writers, but make sure a human writer is in charge.
