You have a lot of choices when using AI to write content. First, you can choose between the major Large Language Models, like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude3 and others. Then you have dozens, if not hundreds of new AI-writing platforms, most of which are using these models as the engines that drives them. It’s little wonder the web is being flooded with new AI content, most of it sounding like it was written by a well-meaning robot.

Have you been on LinkedIn lately? I’ve been hearing a lot of stories about ultra-long job interview process steps, multiple people involved, and at the end of all the hoops candidates go through, they are told they didn’t get the job. Wh-what? I find this crazy. I mean, I haven’t had a traditional job for about eleven years, but still, I don’t recall a job interview going like that.

“We’re taking content in-house”. It’s a perfectly plausible thing for a brand to do, but it was a kick in the teeth for me. I’d kept my diary light for the next month to accommodate a huge new contract I’d picked up, but the client decided not to renew and to take their content in-house instead. It happens, but it still sucks, however many times it’s happened.
