ChatGPT's content creation power is getting insane

And you have to know it before you go irrelevant.

A few days ago I received a bit harsh comment on one of my LinkedIn posts.

The post was about ‘Generating bulk images at once with ChatGPT’. And the person seemed annoyed by AI.

Yes. I get it. Many people’s jobs are affected by AI but…

AI isn’t going to stop because you hate it. Never.

Did you think something like ChatGPT or Claude would be writing anything you asked back in 2021? I’m sure you didn’t.

But guess what! It happened.

No one knows what we will see next year. Maybe something far more incredible.

The catch here is that the sooner you adapt the better you get.

So ADAPT.

Some of my clients tell me not to use AI in their content at all. For the sake of their trust, I don’t use it. But if I do, it’ll save half of my time without losing a bit of the quality.

And there’s so much to talk about this but…

Let me get to the actual point.

AI may not be for everyone. However, those who want to progress faster will need to use AI.

I usually get asked how AI can help in writing.

Or how AI can accelerate the writing process.

Well. If that’s what we’re talking about, then here’s how AI can help write an efficient draft.

First, go and open your long-time friend, ChatGPT.

Don’t worry about the paid version. But if you’re already paying, cool.

Now let’s take care of the content ideas first.

Here’s the prompt for ideas:

Tell me [amount] desires, [amount] problems and [amount] fears [your target audience] experience related to [the niche].

Structure your answer in a table. The X axis should be numbered 1-20 and the Y axis should include desires, needs and fears.

Well. You’ll get as many ideas as you want. All about what your target audience wants, what they suffer from and what they’re scared of.

That’s it. What else do you need about content ideas?

Now if you want to use these ideas to write something without using AI, good. It works.

Otherwise, let’s get ChatGPT to write a draft for us.

The prompt for writing a draft:

Based on the first desire, problem and fear, generate a full LinkedIn post with all the important content needed. Create a well-formatted copywriting piece and show exactly how we can achieve that according to the breakdown.

Make the content in a way that explains the whole process in steps and does not overwhelm the reader.

Format the text in short sentences so that they fit in one line with double space after each sentence while keeping the actual message so that the reader can read the writing easily while understanding the entire message.

Create a compelling headline with a sub-heading that can attract the reader at the beginning.

Avoid adding any hashtags or emojis.

Ok. So take this prompt as a general one. Tweak it more if you want. Cut or add any part that doesn’t resonate with your purpose.

The goal here is to help you curate a copy draft with ChatGPT.

I asked for short sentences here. You can ask for long ones if you want.

Here’s a look at what I got from these two prompts.

Pretty neat. Isn’t it?

Well. If AI can get to writing something like this in less than 2 years, imagine what it will look like in a decade.

That’s why I usually say, “It’s better to adapt than to become irrelevant.”

Yeah. It's not a time of avoiding. It's a time of evolving.

And I’m sure you’d be thinking about this, if not overthinking.

But genuinely asking, do you use AI for content?

How?

I’d love to know.
