The rise of artificial intelligence may seem daunting, especially for writers. However, AI writing generators are not yet powerful enough to completely replace humans, as they lack the unique human experience and understanding of nuance.
While the exact impact of AI on businesses remains uncertain, those who approach it with fear and ignorance are likely to struggle compared to those who embrace and leverage its strengths.
Let’s explore how AI can enhance efficiency in your business and writing processes.
Organize Your Thoughts Effectively With AI
Getting started with AI can be daunting, given its recent accessibility and rapid development. However, many pioneers offer inspiration and guidance. For instance, automation expert and Content Snare co-founder James Rose often shares useful AI experiments for small-business owners.
Here’s an experiment you can try: Use ChatGPT to sift through lengthy customer feedback transcripts. Start by providing a short description of your company to help the tool understand the insights you’re seeking. Then, feed it text transcripts of customer interviews. Tools like Fireflies.ai can generate AI transcripts from recordings, which you can then upload. Ask ChatGPT to extract meaningful insights from these transcripts based on its understanding of your company.
Similarly, you can convert voice memos into transcripts and ask ChatGPT to help you organize your thoughts. This can be especially useful for preparing written content, as it can be challenging to start with a blank page.
Use AI To Create Writing/Business Efficiencies
To overcome writer’s block and create a structured outline, try the following approach:
Start by recording yourself talking about your topic as if you’re explaining it to your audience. Keep talking until you’ve exhausted all relevant ideas.
Use an AI transcriber if needed (some recording tools offer this feature).
Feed the transcript to ChatGPT with a prompt to format and order your thoughts into a coherent outline.
While you could organize this information manually, using AI can help overcome writer’s block and create a structured outline.
Use AI to Detect AI Writing
Surprisingly, you can ask ChatGPT if it wrote something. Although AI writing detection tools are not yet perfect, they can help identify AI-generated content based on patterns like repetitive words and unnatural language.
Generate Job Descriptions With AI
Google Workspace introduced generative AI within Google Docs, allowing businesses to quickly draft job descriptions. You can implement this workflow by starting with an existing job description or details about your company culture, prompting your AI tool with a job title and specific details, and combining the AI-generated content with your baseline description.
Using AI in Your Personal Life
AI can also enhance efficiency in your personal life, such as helping you name your child or pet, providing personalized book recommendations, or answering niche questions.
In conclusion, while AI may seem intimidating, it can be a valuable tool in your writing and business endeavors. By leveraging its strengths, you can build a solid foundation that complements your unique human insights.
