Don't Fall For This AI Trap

Now I've tested almost every AI tool on the market and this is what will actually differentiate you from an AI novice to a power user. Know what not to automate. This is one of the biggest mistakes I see AI people make, trying to automate everything and anything. They ask themselves, "Can this be automated by AI?" Instead of, "How would I automate this with AI?" Is it a text or image-based task? Or is it nuanced, artistic? Does it have edge cases or unclear directions? AI can do a lot, but if you're focused on using it for the wrong things, you're not going to get the most out of it. I even fell into this trap myself. I tried automating my YouTube thumbnails with AI, and while the images looked impressive at first glance, they took a lot of trial and error and weren't super consistent. Now, AI-generated art can work if you have a tight budget and want to create something for a project or launch. But for me personally, it wasn't beating out the quality and experience of an actual human designer. Now maybe AI will get there one day, but right now the hardest part is understanding which AI uses to lean into and which ones you shouldn't waste your time on. That's one of the reasons I'm excited to be partnering with Teachable on their AI Academy. I'm actually doing my own webinar on how to be more productive with AI and will be showing off a lot of my own tips and tricks for using AI. There's a lot of people online who are sharing their favorite AI prompts and tools, including myself sometimes, but what's much harder to find is a place where you can learn from people who have spent years figuring out what actually works in the real world.
