#318: Five Powerful Ways ChatGPT and Other AI Can Help You Become a More Productive Writer

Jennifer Gregory and Ed Gandia discuss five ways AI like ChatGPT boosts writing productivity: idea generation, social media content, headlines, outlines, and research. They cover ethical considerations and how freelancers can adapt as AI tools reshape the industry.
And then I realized maybe a little longer. And then I realized that I have been writing about artificial intelligence for 10 years. And a lot of what I've been writing is as new AI based tools go into an industry, people have the exact same concerns we do, that it's going to take over jobs. And all of my work that I've been doing on AI has been reassuring people that AI just makes things more efficient, that it cannot replace human insight, human creativity and the power of humans. And then when I went back and read my own words, my tune totally changed. First of all, I don't think we're all going to lose our jobs. I don't think we need to find new careers. I think this is just a new version of freelancing, a new phase, a new step. And that said we need to adapt. But I honestly think this is going to end up being a good thing. My mom used to freelance and she used to send out snail mail letters with, you know, self addressed envelopes. And when the Internet started, things changed. This is another change. So my first prediction is that this is going to end up being a good thing. I really think so. And before you decide I'm crazy, I can go ahead and explain it. So I think a lot of businesses are going to try AI and it's going to suck. And they're going to realize the value of human writers in a way that I don't think anyone ever has before. I think this year is going to be a little rough as everyone figures it out and tries it and comes back and we as writers figure it out. But I really think that once we get on the other side of the transition, the writers that evolve their services to types of writing and areas of writing that must have humans are going to be actually more successful than we are now.
I couldn't agree more. I'll equate it to two things that I think we can all relate to. So my dad's a civil engineer and when he started his career in the mid-60s in, it was all about math. I mean, you had to be really, really good at crunching numbers. I mean, you know, talking slide rules. This is the early days of calculators. People couldn't afford calculators, so he took a lot of pride in that. Then software came out, right? Computers, PCs, software. Did it replace engineers? Well, if your focus and your strength was really just math and that's it, you probably had a really hard time. The ones who did really well, my dad tells me about this all the time, were the ones who realized that they had to elevate their, they had to move more toward creative problem solving and come up with elegant and creative solutions and use these tools to do that grunt work and those. That's what my dad did really well because he's a great creative problem solver. Same thing with. I remember the Internet, right when Amazon came out. I remember 1997, 1998, 99. The prediction was brick and mortar is dead. Well, look around. Obviously it isn't. But you have to adapt, right? The stores that didn't adapt have gone out of business. And those who niched down, who brought other elements of value into the 4, those are the ones who have done really, really well. So I think it's really no different. And I think if we step back and look at examples like this, we realize, oh no, but AI is different. No, no, no, no, it's not. It, it's, it's a different thing. Yeah, it's very advanced, but the, the fundamentals still mirror the fundamentals of those examples.
So I, I completely agree with you with that. And I do want to mention something. You talk about the value. I do think if you're a writer right now, that your main income, your main focus is SEO based writing off, probably with a content mill product, pretty basic level writing. I think you need to pause and I think you need to figure out a way to diversify, add more services. And I think we're going to talk about that later. But those types of writing right now or very soon can be replaced by AI tools. And I think that's a small portion of freelancers. But I do want to point that out that my broad statement does not apply to that typewriting.
I would disagree a little bit in that it's not a small portion of freelancers in the overall. I mean, I think that is a huge number of people, but I would say it's a small portion of listeners here. Right, correct.
Yeah, so, but that's a good point.
That is a great point. And that actually speaks to the whole. Again, if you don't move up in the value ladder, and those people are at the very bottom rung of the value ladder. So. All right, so broad strokes. We got that done. Let's talk about practical ways you can use these tools to help you as a writer. We keep hearing that, but we're not hearing as much of, okay, great, can you give me some examples? Can you maybe at least talk first about kind of the areas where they can help?
So. Yep. So I've got five areas I know you said three, but I couldn't come up with three. I came up with more.
Two bonus.
Two bonus. Well, the fifth is kind of iffy. We'll talk about that. Ideas, headlines, social media outlines and research.
I like it.
So one of the things that before we get started I think that AI the purpose of using tools and, and I'm going to. There's a lot of tools out there and so I'm going to call them AI writers is what I call them. The, the purpose in my opinion is to use it as a starting point, a point of inspiration, a point where you add your own creativity and, and your own audience knowledge and your own industry knowledge to elevate it to a higher level. I don't, and I think we both agree with this. We're not talking about using AI tools to write a blog post. Turn it in on your own. I think that's plagiarism at the very most and unethical at the very least. And, and, and that's not what we're talking about. What we're talking about is using AI writing tools as a tool just like we you. So that's not new. We've been using AI tools for a while, we just don't. A lot of us didn't realize it Grammarly is an AI based tool. AI otter, all of the AI transcription tools if you use, I love headline analyzers, I've been using that for a While. That's an AI based tool. Even Google Analytics, SEO Tools, SEMrush, those are all AI based tools. This is another tool that you can use to increase your productivity and give you more ideas just like the ones we talked about.
Got it. So in terms of idea generation, why don't we start with that one? You know I love that because sometimes I'm stuck. Right.
And, and let's, let's talk first of all about kind of the big caveat when it comes to AI tools. Right now accuracy is a big thing and that's hopefully quickly improving. But anything you do that has factual in nature and that's going to especially apply when we talk to research, but it does apply to ideas. You're going to need to verify either with your own knowledge or a second source. So I just want to put that, I'm not going to repeat that every time except we get to research, but I want to just make that blanket statement. So ideas. I'm the same. It can be hard to get started. A blank screen is, you know, the biggest nightmare. Right. And so one of the things if you're playing around with AI tools. A lot of times people just go in, I'll be like, give me five ideas for cybersecurity. So what you need to do is what's called prompt engineering, where you take a step back and you put in a lot of details about exactly what you need. So you put in the audience, you put in the tone, you put in the purpose. So I need five ideas on stretching my cybersecurity budget for small business owners in the insurance business. And so then it will give more specifics. So that's, that's a big part of my course is how to use prompt engineering. And that's where a lot of people fail is they just put it straight in and expect to get great results. You have to put in great information. So the more you put in what you want an idea for and get ideas back. So for example, you can put in ideas for articles. I want an article for insurance business owners that are struggling to make money. And so it would in the ideas it comes back with, you know, some of them are crappy, but a few of them are usually enough to be, wait, there's something in there. And then you can take it and come with another idea. So the other thing is ideas within an article. So if you're looking for bullets, advantages of using, you know, zero trust, which is a cybersecurity term, or advantages of going with a realtor for buying a home, it can give you those. Some of the stuff is generic, some of it is interesting. So those are some great ways to use it for the ideas.
You know what, what I love about that is I can see why people would hesitate or wouldn't think to add the level of detail. You mentioned some of those because I think we've been conditioned over the past 20 something years with search engines. You can't go that narrow. Search engines are not designed to get to that level of granularity. You kind of need to go broader. And then you do the sorting through the searches. Right. The search results here you can actually, and you should, what I'm hearing from you is go all the way, like really stress test the thing. And what you're saying is you found that even the level of detail in that cybersecurity example with, you know, insurance companies, I mean, I would be afraid to punch that in, thinking it's going to get confused. It's not going to know what I mean. It knows.
I mean, it might come up with something. One of the ones that came up when I tried that before we talked it Was, you know, does cybersecurity risk increase during hurricane season with increased claims for insurance offices?
Yeah. And some of the answers might be weird or might be not that helpful. But what you're saying is if you keep probing, and I know we're going to get into that, you can get some of the good stuff. Right.
And you have to keep answering. You could be like, I don't like those. Give me more. Or how about making it more punchy? How about more serious? How about more focused on this? So you want to have a conversation, not just crazy.
I know you can't do with Google. You can't say no Google, sorry, this wasn't good.
And I, I hadn't thought of it that way, ed, but you're 100, right? We're used to search engines that are one way and this is a two way conversation.
Yeah, that's, that's a massive difference.
And you need to think of it like you're brainstorming with a friend is the way that I was viewing it. I'm brainstorming with a friend. So you get an idea, you expand. It's a session, it's not an input output thing.
I love it. I love it. By the way, I just read an article that this is a whole new job category they called prompt or AI Whisperers, I believe. And these are six figure jobs. And what I found interesting was they're saying, oh, and by the way, don't think that it's going to be like the engineers or the techies who are getting these. It's people in humanities, liberal arts, because they think differently. It's. They need that right brain kind of emphasis. And I thought that's fascinating. We're creating a whole new category of jobs here.
You're right, I had not thought about that. But I could see an engineer struggling with these conversations. And I've worked in tech my whole life because it was almost an interpersonal level type discussion. It was a brainstorming. There was creativity involved. Not, not that there's, I mean there's a lot of engineers that are great at that. But, but you're right, I could see the, the right brain really being good at this.
Yeah. Okay, so idea generation, that's huge. I think you mentioned social media was the next one.
Yeah, so social media. So I'm going to get really excited here. Okay, so hashtags, hashtag is what I think it does best out of everything yet right now, every time I'm doing social media posts for either. A lot of times I do it for Myself and also for some of my clients, have me write social media posts to go with the story that they share and they expect hashtags. But it's a complete pain to try to find the hashtags and takes way more time unless you have the expensive tools, which I don't have. And so I'm, I'm, you know, using free tools that don't work well or I'm going through Instagram myself, which is a time waste. So if you put in what are five best hashtags for insurance, cyber security, for insurance companies, or for small businesses, it will give you the best ones. It's amazing. And you can get as many. You can get five, you can get 10. And I've gone back and checked. I probably checked, might be a little obsessive here, about 50 different hashtags and it was pretty on the mark. So if you use this for nothing else, use it for hashtags both for your own and then for client work. The other thing is you can use it to write social media posts as a starting point. They're not ones that you know are going to go viral or be the most amazing post ever. But, you know, not all of the posts we write have to be. Sometimes they're just to share information. And a good post is better than no post in many cases. And a lot of times we don't write something because we don't have time to even come up with something good. And this will give you a good basic post. I recommend putting the audience, the purpose, the platform and the tone. So I was using it to create a post that would share one of my blog articles. So it was for freelancers about what to do when you lose a client and a goal to read my article for LinkedIn and it was good and I used it and tweaked a few things and added in something I knew my audience would respond to. But it saved me at least 15 minutes because I had a place to start. I didn't have a blank screen. I think they're great for social media posts is a good place to start. And they ones I've played around with the social media a lot and have used it didn't meet a huge amount of tweaking. Just a little bit of punched up was what I found. And they're a little bit. Sometimes they're a little bit wordy for me. So I've been taking out words.
So you're using it by giving it some descriptions as to what the post needs to be about. Can you punch? Can you upload the article and say, look, can you give me a post for this? You can.
Yes, you can. And you can give them a link? Yes.
Oh, that's crazy. I had, I just threw that out there to see if I could stump you.
No, no. Yes. You can put in the link and be like, create a social media post for this.
Wow. So the link is great because I know I had some sort of word count limit, right. So I can't, I can't put in a $3,500 or 3,500 word article, but I can put a link if it's already uploaded somewhere. Oh, that is brilliant. You're using it for your own hashtags too.
Yep. And for my own social media posts, my VA helps me with that some, but sometimes I write my own too, so. So, so, yes, I have used that and I've used it to when a couple of my clients, I have to write social media posts to go with my articles. And that's always really hard.
Yeah. How come, you know, it's so easy or easier to write the whole thing, but then now you got to write the summary. It's like, oh, I don't want to do that.
Oh, you're so. Oh my gosh, you're so true. And I think a lot of it for me is social media is copywriting, in my opinion, and I'm not a copywriter. That's not my superpower. So it's a different skill set. But I forget that. And I think I should be able to write amazing social media posts and I can write good ones, but it's a different skill. And I think it's writers, we forget that. So it's, it's a. I like it. You just need to punch them up a little bit and, and make sure they're relevant. A couple times it wasn't totally. It's. So this is the thing. If you're expecting perfection every time, you're going to be disappointed, you're not going to give it something and everything's going to be fabulous and you're going to love it. And I think some of the complaints I've heard from writers is that that's what they expect. And it's really a friend, someone, an idea generation, someone to, to help you with the brainstorming, the coming up. And it's a process. And I think when you view it as a process, not a give it something, you're going to love it. You're a lot happier with it.
That's a great point. I'm Glad you mentioned that. All right, so what would be the next category?
Headlines. I'm going to get excited again. So maybe I'm alone. But I suck at writing headlines. I write stupid headlines and it's really hard when a client wants like five headline examples. I, I've been known to not take clients that want a lot of headlines because it really stresses them out. I know that's stupid, but I've been using a headline analyzer for years that helps co schedule has one that I like. But you have to, you have to come up with something to put it in there. So what you can do is say, give me a headline and you can have an existing article or you can put in a short article, give me five headline suggestions for this article. Five. You see, you can do it a couple ways. So here's a story I'm working on right now. It's about identity theft. So I could say, give me five headlines about preventing identity theft online for small business owners with a formal tone. And I found putting formal, punchy, casual, informal really helps as well. And it will give you five. It really likes colons. Like really likes colons. Everything has a colon in it, even when you ask it not to put colons. So you, you'll want to, if you like, if it needs colons or you have a head in a deck that works well for the headline. But the, the headlines you usually need. What I usually do is cut, combine. I take three kind of combine, tweak them. I've had great luck with the headlines.
I tried this last week and I was amazed. I had a headline. The title of this lead magnet, actually. And you know, lead magnets, by the way, just a little tip. It's all about the title. The title is the whole thing. Because if you get someone to, if, if you, if it's not attractive enough, they're not going to go opt in for it. So anyway, I had one that I knew needed work and I went ahead and punched that in. I said, give me five different variations of, of this title. In my gosh, I couldn't believe it. It was so good. And then I said, give me five more and said, okay, here you go. And I actually ended up picking one from. I forget which of the two lists better than mine.
Yep. I really think headlines is one of its biggest strengths for, for us as writers.
Yeah.
Unless you're really good at headlines, because if you're really good at headlines, you're probably going to be better. But if you're an average at headlines, it's Great. I, I, if you use it for nothing but headlines and hashtags, it will save you time and stress.
I consider myself to be pretty good with headlines. The problem was it's, I'm not good at headlines 24 hours a day. And this is toward the end of a day, creatively, my tank was empty, so I needed more.
And so that's a really good point. I view this as, we all have strengths, and there's some things that humans are better at and some things that machines are better at. And you made a good point that you may be better than the machine at headlines, except at the end of the day when you're tired. And so that's when I think being a successful freelancer is really about figuring out what you're good at and what you suck at and coming up with ways to mitigate what you're not good at and ways to find clients that appreciate and where your strengths highlight. I think that tools are the way to help mitigate your weaknesses. And this is another way to do that. And it may not be a huge weakness, but just me sucking at headlines. You know, if I can give a great headline, maybe that makes the client happier. Maybe they hate having to write headlines, and maybe that helps them give me more work. And so I think that's what we need to look at. This is ways, what are we better at the machines, and what are the machines better than us? And that and using it for that, for our specific purposes, to increase both our productivity and our quality.
Yeah, and that's some, that's not a binary thing. It's not that the machine is better. It just depends on the time of day, where my creative energy is at that moment. You know, the machine's always going to be stable.
And I think it's okay. And I think I want to rely on what you said. I think it's okay that a machine can be better than us at some things. And I think as humans, that's hard to, to admit, but it's better at analyzing large quality quantities of data that's out there and what people are clicking on, and we can't do that. And, and so I think that's okay. It's okay to say that it's better at hashtag, that's better at this. And that doesn't mean that we're not valuable.
I don't know why, but I just thought of that scene in the movie Good Will Hunting when you remember, like, he got these two, like, triple PhD professors at MIT, and this kid comes in and he solves these problems in front of them like it's nothing. And they said something to the effect of, I can't believe I've dedicated my whole life to this discipline. I've given everything for this. And this kid just comes in and solves this problem like they just wanted to give up. They're like, this is not worth it anyway.
Yeah, but there's things that, there's things that we'll get to that in a minute that machines can't replace. And I definitely, when we get there, when I talk about that and, and, and that's, that's, that's great too.
Totally. It takes a human. It takes a human to discern, Wait a minute. This is better than this. This is not as good. This needs to be tweaked. I need to mash this up with this other thing that I have. That is a human thing.
Exactly. We can't be machines and machines can't be humans. And if we work together, then we can create better stuff quicker.
Here we go. Okay, so, research. Intrigued by this one? Tell me about how you use it.
So can we talk about outlines first? I want to do research.
Oh, yeah, let's do outlines. Perfect.
So two things on outlines. One is you can. So if you have a new topic, it can help you create a basic outline. So can you create an outline for a topic on how to prevent identity theft online for college students? And it will create a basic outline for you. It's nothing super inspired, but it will actually create points for you. And I have used those as a starting point, added in my own, taken them out. It's a great place to start, especially if you're writing about something new and don't even know where to research or what to do. And I will want to mention different tools and we're recording this in the past, you're hearing this in the future. So at the time of recording, ChatGPT does not search the Internet and only has content up to fall of 2021. Bing searches the Internet and has much more, has recent content. So you do want to keep that in mind when doing outlines. If you're doing something brand new, you will probably want to use Bing. And if it's more evergreen, ChatGPT can be a great use as well.
Good point.
The other way to use outlines. So sometimes when I write something, it just doesn't feel right. You know, you haven't structured it right. It's just something's off about it and you don't quite know how to fix it. So what I have done is put that into the AI tool and asked it create an outline from my text. And then you look at the outline and you can see where you suck. Because if it can't create an outline easily from your article, that means that something's off. And I've been able to pinpoint the sections that I need to rewrite and restructure because it wasn't clear.
Oh, I never thought about that. So you actually put in your article draft, not before it's finished, because that's where you're looking for help. And ask it to give me an outline based on this article or outline this article for me.
Yes.
Interesting. Is that how you ask it, by the way? Is that similar?
Can you create an outline for this text and it will give it to you and if it's bad in a certain place, that means your article wasn't good?
Hmm.
I was able to pinpoint a section that I wasn't making a lot of sense and I was repeating myself.
I just thought had an idea. Have you used it? You know, when, you know, you need to simplify the language, you know, bring down the reading level. I wonder if it can do that. You know, it's a little bit too master's level right now. You want to bring it down to 9th grade. I wonder if it could probably one.
Of that would concern me because I don't use anything, so I view anything that comes out of one of those tools. Like I would a source on Google, a Wikipedia article, something online. I use it as a source. I don't copy words. I don't copy. I mean, I have words. I don't copy phrases or sentences or paragraphs. So that would be my only concern there.
Even though it's using your original work, right? Because that's what you do with social media.
No, you're right, that's true. It probably would be okay with it. And this is one of the things that I find so interesting is I think the more we get into, there'll be more and more ethical things that each of us have to figure out for ourselves what we're comfortable with. Because I hadn't even thought of it that way. I was just like, no. And then you're right. But it's my word.
Yeah, yeah. Just like with those I thought of because of the social media example you gave us, Right? Write me a social media post for LinkedIn based on this text. So kind of the same request, but a different output. I don't know, I haven't tried it. I have no idea if it would work.
Probably. I think it probably would.
So.
Move on to research.
Let's. Let's talk about research. I'm very intrigued by that one.
So this is the one that I had the most hopes for and have been disappointed. So I think this is its weakest point right now is research. And the problem is it makes stuff up and it makes up total surveys. It makes up facts. And I don't even know who said it, but someone online said it confidently and arrogantly spews out nothing wrong information. So you have to be super duper careful with ChatGPT as of the time of recording Last week I put in, I asked for five surveys knowing it would be latest to be 2021. Only one of them was a real survey. The others were completely made up. I don't know why it made stuff up. Bing is much the other issue with ChatGPT as of the recording is that it doesn't include citations. So you don't know where it came from.
You can ask it though, right? Give me the sources for this.
Yes, it does include a link, so then you just have to go find it or was not including a link as of last week. That could have changed. And all of this is evolving, so just know that too. Yeah, Bing does include the links of the citations. I have had better luck with Bing for research. It's not the best yet. It's getting there. You, you can't totally rely on it. And I had. Every time I've used it, I've used it as a starting point and then had to dig deeper into a report that I found because of it, or looked realized that a certain company made an annual study and was able to find the most recent version because it didn't find it. That type of thing. So more of a starting point than the end result for research. I think that when the research in accuracy and results fully gets there that AI writing tools will be amazingly helpful for all writers. The value to us goes up. But right now, the time taken to completely verify everything and have it not be accurate is a little frustrating.
I will say I'll echo your findings there. I was doing some research a couple of weeks ago and I thought this is brilliant. I can't believe this is wonderful information. Said give me the sources. So sure, here are the sources I went in to verify. There was nothing on those pages.
Exactly.
It made it all up.
Yes. Like why does it make stuff up? That's what I don't understand.
But it's a very confident. It's an overly Confident AI. It's like they're not going to know. These humans are stupid. They don't know. They're just going to go with us.
Did you ask it for the link? And it gave you the link?
And it gave me the links.
Okay. I didn't ask for the link, I just said the source. So if you said the link, link, it gave it to you. Okay, good.
Actually, no, now that you asked, I don't know if I said give me the link. I said, I think I did say give me the sources or give me the source for this information.
Okay.
And it sent me a couple of links and, and there was nothing on those pages about that. In fact, one page was a. I got a 404 error. It just, I don't know, I don't know where it came up with this stuff.
And I think a lot of writers that I've talked to start by using it for research and then get really frustrated and stop using it and, and don't realize that it is good for some other things. I think if you're using it for research, you're using it. You should, right now you should use it very cautiously. You should realize that you're going to have to do a lot more work and be happy when it saves you time and use Bing, not chatgpt right now.
There you go. And by the way, Bing, just to be clear, we're talking about the new Bing. Yes, as of right now, that's called the new Bing.
Yeah. And you get. There's a separate tab that says chats that you have to go to.
Okay, cool. This is fascinating stuff. And it's interesting, Jennifer, that going into this conversation I thought you were really going to be in love with the whole research thing. And because of what I had found, I thought, okay, I'm obviously doing it wrong. You know, Jennifer's going to like tell me all the cool things you could do with it. So it's interesting that that is your least favorite one. I hadn't thought, thought about so many of the other, the other applications. So thank you for that. Now, as we wrap up, I, I want to make sure you tell us about your course. You've created a whole course on very practical ways to use these tools. Tell us about it and where people can learn more about it.
Yes. So on my website, Jennifer Gregory, writer, I have a. It's a 12 model module mini course. It goes through a lot of the things we've talked about with more in depth. An example, it has exercises and you get a Facebook community to help. The other thing is, as this is changing, we're having monthly Q and A lives and also I'm updating the modules and doing a new update module with new information as it comes out. So in the next week, I'm working on a new one with chat GPT4 and the new Bing to give more. More information.
That is awesome.
And can I, Can I. I know we're wrapping up, but I did want to add one quick thing. Yeah, we had talked about, you know, that SEO writers needed to find, revamp their services. I want to talk real quick about what type of. And then not. There's not a lot of those listening, but a lot of us want to know where to focus our efforts as we build our business in areas that won't be taken over. So could we talk? Can I talk about that for a minute?
Yeah.
So the types of writing that I expect won't be taken out is things that don't exist now. So for example, AI goes into data that already exists. So one of the biggest things is thought leadership, because I can't ask it to write what's in Ed's head. It doesn't know. So if it's Ed's original insights that can't be generated by AI. So that's one. The other is like scientific and health and technological innovations, things that are being created now, those can't be generated by AI because you have to talk to the people creating them. So that's a great area. I think podcasts and webinars will become even more popular because people will crave original content. And I think copywriting is safe. Good. Great. Copywriting has so much human creativity that it's going to be hard to totally replace.
Agreed. So it's one thing for it to come up with a great headline, but copy is not all headline. So. Great point. Yeah. So, yeah, I'm with you 1000%. This is continually evolving. I appreciate we may have to do a follow up, you know, in a few months as things continue to change. I encourage everybody to check out the course. We'll put a link to it in the show notes. I think you had told me, and I may be putting you on the spot here, that you had like a discount code for my people that we're going to keep it secret.
I do have a discount code. Should I tell you or put it in the show notes?
No, just tell me and then we'll put it in the show notes too.
Okay.
Or is it something easy to remember?
Oh, I'm coming up with it. On the spot. Okay, Ganzia.
Okay, perfect. How do you spell that? No, I'm just kidding.
And so it's normally 100, 125. And the code gets you 25.
Oh yeah. That's a no brainer. That's a no brainer.
And one of the things you're paying for with the course is for me to help keep you updated.
So I was just gonna say that this has got a shelf life and the fact that you're maintaining it right there is worth the price of admission and more. So, guys, check it out. This is a great material. We just got a glimpse into what's in there. There's a lot more. Jennifer, thank you for coming on today. Appreciate you.
Thank you for having me. We. We always have great conversations and I'm. I'm really excited about AI writing.

Or maybe that's just me.
