Err. OK…I’m going to cut in here for a moment and for the rest of this post give you my own HUMAN CREATED views on the impact of ChatGPT!

I few moments ago I used ChatGPT to generate the above snippet on the impact of ChatGPT.

I then read it carefully when it was done… sorry no.. full disclosure.. I casually glanced over it as it was being generated in real time! I agreed with most of the points I saw and decided it was good enough. Yes… I know, not great, right?

Realizing the error of my ways I then set out to go through it very carefully to see if the opinions make sense, and well, they do. The data is verifiable and basically spot on and as an added bonus I also learned something new I did not know before!

However, this brings up an important dilemma – how will we as internet users be able to know if the info we are getting from someone’s blog is generic AI generated or the communications of an actual real person with a unique experience in a specialized field?

Yeah, not so easy.

Will we now need for websites to prove to the USER that THEY are not a robot?!

Possibly we will soon see this exact implementation in the very near future.

More to the point, in the above generated snippet there was nothing for me to edit or add.

Unfortunately this was not the case for the previous article in my blog https://dudsweb.co.za/2023/02/13/what-are-unsafe-wordpress-plugins/ About 98% of that entire article on unsafe Wp plugins, was generated by ChatGPT and… it was 98% spot on! Fancy that.

The remaining 2% is a but..and it is a BIG one! I had experienced an anomaly so to speak within the WordPress Plugin Repository which anyone with a WordPress site needed to know about and this very vital info was completely absent from the AI generated article. So I edited the article before posting and I added the all important data marking it NB!!

The problem of adding true value to your subscribers and potential clients comes up and it’s a difficult one to address. My own strategy which I have decided on is as follows:

1. Use ChatGPT responsibly by actually reading any content it generates before posting it to your site.

2. Write what you know: Generate only articles which you have extensive personal experience in and then be a diligent editor.

3. Add ACTUAL value by not simply ‘spamming’ your site or newsletter with endless AI generated articles.

4. Copywriters are best: Most importantly, remember that nothing will ever replace a talented and experienced Copywriter who has that ‘magic touch’. This is not hyperbole, bad copy can literally break your online business by failing to build customer confidence.

 

Conclusion

We enter into an era of which my little Gen-X imagination only dreamed back in the day and quite frankly, mostly scoffed at. Like it or not we are tasked now with increased ethical awareness. As each technological advance makes our tasks increasingly easier, let us not lose sight of our level of service to each other and the amount of value we must strive to continue to add.
