As a user of ChatGPT in an niche industry, I had my suspicions of how well the tool would work for writing about cattle.
But there's no denying that artificial intelligence systems are transforming the way we do business. However, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭.
That's where a key understanding of your topic comes in.

Additionally, you must know the types of questions to ask, know when to ask follow-up questions, and have a firm understanding of the topic you're requesting the tool to write about.
When I first started using the tool, I discovered subtle nuances in asking questions that would let me to different and better answers.
I've also experienced the tool being completely off-base about the topic I've requested it to write about.

The above happens all too often. (Honestly, with and without the use of AI.) Which is why it's important to hire people who are rooted in the industry or are willing and able to immerse themselves into learning about the industry.
I love the evolution of AI and the capabilities it offers us as marketers. But to remain an authority and true leader in your industry, you 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓 have a team of humans who can guide the tool in the right direction to give the right results.
(Up next, I plan to talk about emotional intelligence—a skill we all as should work to sharpen to simply be a better human—and why it's key in using AI!)
