Have you been hearing a lot about AI and AI writing tools? The age of an AI writing tool is here, and as freelance writers, we need to EMBRACE this new way of writing. I know many writers are thinking this is the end of freelance writing, but it’s not. The AI Writing Tool I Use.

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.

AI is the big thing right now. This is a problem for writers and marketers who rely too heavily on AI. Here are five ways in which emotionally intelligent writing raises the bar way above what AI alone can achieve. #1 Bots don’t do emotion. They definitely don’t write with emotional intelligence.

Here are three ways empathy will help you… Use empathy to differentiate your writing from AI-generated outputs. An AI can’t experience emotion first-hand.

AI tools can’t do that. A critical part of what it means to be human is tied to our senses. 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. We can move.

It not only sets your writing apart from anything done by AI alone, but can also be more deeply rewarding for you as a writer and a person. When that happens, I’m no longer just a writer communicating with “an audience”. I’m a big fan of AI, and I use it a lot. Academic writing. Business writing. Marketing writing.

We’ve now had over a year to become proficient with AI writing tools like ChatGPT. And there is no question that companies large and small are attracted by the price and productivity benefits of using AI to help produce more content at lower costs. And the absence of emotion can be exacerbated by the use of AI-assisted writing.

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. An AI doesn’t care about the feelings of its readers. This is why you should never depend on an AI to write the final drafts of your copy or content.

At its heart, it’s about radical honesty and transparency.

It’s not as easy as saying it’s because of AI taking over or that, collectively, businesses just don’t want to pay for writing. This is shocking!
