AGI is broadly defined as the stage at which an AI model gains enough skills to perform any task that humans can do, with equal or better proficiency.

To be fair, the IMF is careful to point out that they are absolutely not saying 60% of jobs will be replaced by AI. And yes… marketing, writing, media and the like are in the front lines here. Our jobs are already being significantly impacted by the rise of AI. Step 1 is to lean into change and become an expert in the use of AI.

We’ve now had over a year to become proficient with AI writing tools like ChatGPT. Many of us now use these tools to help with brainstorming, research, outlines, and first drafts. 1 – Be aware of the emotional persona of the company you’re writing for. After all, “robotic” writing doesn’t evoke emotions.

This is why an AI can never feel or express emotions. This is why all AI-generated text needs to be infused with human emotion. Tools like ChatGPT get a second-hand view, and express it one predicted word at a time. This is why you need to take AI-generated content as your starting point, not the end point.

With ChatGPT and other AI tools, they run on existing technologies. Other than a huge investment in compute power, AI doesn’t need new hardware. The second reason is that these tools are so easy to use. No need to learn a new software tools, or complex online services. Same with AI-generated writing.

Using AI to write copy and content offers incredible productivity benefits. But… AI output can feel dry and generic. At every stage of using these AI writing tools, ask yourself how to make the copy more emotionally engaging. AI tools can’t smell! It packs no emotional punch.

AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and others are flooding the web with millions of pages of new content. Because an AI can read about love, but can’t feel it. As a result, AI-generated copy and content fails to engage us at the most powerful level… the level of feelings and emotions. It’s time to be more human.

Freelance and in-house writers are relying too heavily on AI tools like ChatGPT to write their sales copy, content, and social media updates. When you use the same tool as every other writer, you begin to churn out writing that feels generic, flat… and the same as everything else out there. The result?

AI tools can’t do that. So… if you want to add value to your work as a writer – beyond what AI tools like ChatGPT can achieve – use more sensory language in your writing. One more thing… AI can’t run, jump, cycle or surf. As always, find the right balance between AI and Emotional Intelligence.

Companies find it hard to resist the math of using AI to write at least some of their copy and content. There are huge productivity benefits and costs savings when you compare AI-generated work with the same tasks written by human writers. Because the nuances of human emotion are a weak spot for even the best AI writing tools.

Right now there are plenty of conflicting views when it comes to the future impact of AI on the careers of writers and copywriters. At one extreme, there are those who claim AI is just hype, a passing fad, and that it will never replace human writers. Should they welcome AI or fear it? AI tools are extraordinarily powerful.

This has always been the case… before AI, before the Web, before computers. But AI tools like ChatGPT don’t lead with emotion. ChatGPT is an AI. As a result, when it writes copy or content, ChatGPT does a great job in pretty much every respect, except for one… there’s barely any emotion there.
