I use AI for a multitude of projects and tasks. Here are a few:
- Research: ask it to provide suggestions of journalists based on a topic, or a list of substacks, or even influencers/creators. Generally, the more specific you are in your request, the better results. You can also ask it to provide articles on a certain subject to gain an understanding of who's covered the topic and in what ways.
- Writing: ask it to create 5-7 possible headlines for a blog post or article, that incorporate SEO best practices, etc; or, 3-5 subject lines for an email/pitch that are professional/casual/news-worthy, etc. Again, the more specific and detailed you are in your request, the better the result will be. I will weave together certain aspects of different headlines/sub lines to create one that I feel is perfect.
- Trends: ask it to share what the latest trends are in a certain industry or subject-matter. (this prob falls under research, lol)
- Ideas: i've asked it to come up with ideas for events, product launches, etc. -- these tend to be great thought-starters and are, in a way, like brainstorm sessions for a sole practitioner.
As with anything AI-generated, you must verify for accuracy. I've had it give me incorrect information (like, a journo no longer being at a certain pub; or facts about a product not being right), but that's to be expected and part of what makes the human element vital.
I'm famous! Jkjk Thanks Z! I mostly use ChatGPT to try to condense my pitch when I'm having trouble cutting down on copy. It of course doesn't know the most salient points the brand wants to highlight so I use it as a guide and not the actual copy. I also use it to do the same with headlines or generate headlines for my pitches if I'm having a mental block. I know there are more ways that I can leverage it, but those uses seem like the safest way to avoid any plagiarism/ethical issues at this point for me as I'm learning. Have a great week & Happy St. Paddy's to all that observe!

Have fun with it!
Wow! I really appreciate your lengthy response. I'm for sure going to try these! I especially like the research angle.
