Q & A

What are the telltale signs of AI-generated text?

AI-generated text often uses overused and common words like 'dive,' 'delve,' 'unleash,' and 'unlock.' These words tend to appear frequently in AI-generated content. Additionally, phrases like 'it's not just this, it's this instead' or 'it's more than this, it's also this' are common, which can make the text sound robotic and unclear.

Why should we avoid certain phrases in AI-generated content?

Certain phrases like 'more than just a doctor's visit, it's an experience' can sound vague and unconvincing. These overused phrases often don't convey clear meaning and may confuse the audience, leading them to tune out.

How can you make AI-generated text sound more human?

To make AI-generated text sound more human, you can upload a transcript of how you usually talk. Writing like you speak in everyday conversations helps the text feel more natural and relatable, which is key to connecting with your audience.

How does conversational writing help with AI-generated text?

Conversational writing creates a more engaging and authentic tone. When you write like you speak, as long as it aligns with your brand voice, it becomes easier for your audience to relate and engage with your content.

What is the role of feedback in improving AI-generated content?

Giving feedback on AI-generated content helps refine it. By indicating what you like, what sounds like you, and what doesn’t, you guide the AI to produce more accurate results. This feedback loop allows AI to better adapt to your tone and preferences.

What are the secret documents that can help improve AI-generated text?

What is the purpose of creating a 'my GPT' in ChatGPT?

Creating a 'my GPT' allows you to personalize your AI assistant for specific tasks like generating sales copy, writing emails, or creating marketing content. By uploading relevant documents, it helps the GPT remember and adapt to your needs without requiring constant feedback.

How can you save time using AI for content creation?

By uploading relevant documents (like audience insights, brand voice, and examples of successful content), you reduce the need for constant corrections and feedback, allowing the AI to produce content faster and more accurately.
