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. You’ll find over 12,000,000 results.
