Whether you embrace it or have reservations, AI is undeniably transforming the way we approach writing.
In this Lunch and Learn, AI educator Kerry Harrison gives us a hype-free introduction to today's key AI writing tools, including ChatGPT and Jasper.
She shares practical tips on crafting effective prompts and leveraging AI to enhance your content creation process.
Kerry discusses the speed of change in the writing industry, with AI tools improving rapidly in recent years, and now offering free resources for better writing.
As a professional copywriter, Kerry has been using ChatGPT and Google Bard for projects since January 2023.
Kerry finds ChatGPT to be impressive and effective, using it for prompts and generating quick results. Bard is a more recent addition to her work, and she's still exploring it.
Kerry recommends paying extra for the advanced version of ChatGPT for better-quality output.
Jasper is a specific AI tool for copywriting and content creation that offers less freedom but provides more structure and templates for writing.
There's a Google tool called Help Me Write that you can use to generate copywriting content. Kerry finds it useful for saving time and improving the quality of her emails.
With Help Me Write, you can formalise, shorten, elaborate or rephrase your writing within Google Docs, and you can customise the prompts to suit your needs.
Kerry expresses concern about relying too heavily on AI tools like ChatGPT and Bard, as they may lead to a lack of depth in understanding the topic and the audience.
Kerry suggests using these tools to structure writing projects, rather than generating entire content, to ensure a more thoughtful and personalised approach.
Kerry finds AI to be useful for research, summarising and checking over work. But she also emphasises the importance of personal, human experience and not relying too heavily on AI.
Kerry stresses the importance of providing clear and specific prompts to ChatGPT to generate high-quality responses.
Prompting is crucial for getting good results from ChatGPT, as the quality of the input greatly affects the quality of the output.
Kerry finds that ChatGPT lacks energy and creativity in its output, particularly when trying to generate offbeat or quirky ideas.
Kerry says it's useful to provide specific information and context to ChatGPT when asking it to generate content. You could ask it to write as a certain persona or give viewpoints on a topic, to receive more refined and valuable responses.
Kerry advises people to be mindful of how we use ChatGPT, including not sharing proprietary or confidential information, and being aware of data privacy concerns.
Kerry recommends being open with clients about using AI, so as not to harm your reputation.
Kerry believes AI-generated content can mimic human-generated content, but still thinks human writers are essential for high-quality work.
Kerry mentions AI detection tools and watermarking systems are being developed to ensure authenticity in content creation, particularly in education.
Kerry is a creative technologist and copywriter with a passion for fusing human creativity with emerging tech.
In 2018, after 18 years as an advertising creative, she co-founded the award-winning agency Tiny Giant and moved into exploring creative opportunities with artificial intelligence.
Today, she heads up Unclouded, a content creation consultancy that helps businesses explore the potential and pitfalls of the latest generative AI tools.
