Whatup Reader!

Quick reminder that TODAY’S THE DAY! My brand-spanking new webinar, ChatGPT for Online Business Owners is going down TODAY in just a few hours at 11am PST. All the deets are on the registration page, so smash the Maestro Green button below to join the party.

Now, back to the subject line of this email: Would YOU want that?

Clearly I’m all in on AI. I’m an AI-realist who doesn’t want LLMs put back in the box, but I will also forever be The Movement Maestro, an entrepreneur with a tagline of MOAR You.

My approach to business will always be people first and human-centric.

So, naturally, when asked the question, “How can I train ChatGPT to sound like me and write my newsletters for me?” my immediate, knee-jerk response is:

But, I honestly get it.

Folks are busy doing a zillion things for their business. Writing takes a ton of effort. A week flies by hella fast and makes staying consistent feel like a very heavy lift.

Enter: the robots.

Tempting.

Would YOU want that?

Would you want to receive an email that was written by a robot because that business owner wanted to keep a line of communication open in the hopes that one day you might buy something?

When you say it like that…

Look, I’m not writing this email to shame anyone who’s wished for a solution to the fact running a business is a lot of work, and many times there just don’t seem to be enough hours in the day.

Like I said before, I like AI, a lot, and I want people to use it to give them back their time. But how they use it, and why they’re using it matters.

Real talk, if you’ve spent any amount of time with ChatGPT you know that it’s pretty shit at generating copy that truly sounds and feels like you. Which, I honestly don’t think is a bad thing.

It’s not what it’s designed to do.

ChatGPT is best at what I call the 3 COR functions:

• Clarifying
• Organizing
• Refining

If the task you want ChatGPT to execute falls outside of those three categories, good luck.

To that end, the best ways to have Chat (or any LLM) help you with your newsletter are to have it do things like help you outline the email, come up with topics, clarify your message, organize your thoughts, or refine things like your grammar/structure…not to have it write the whole damn email for you. (I actually had ChattyChat generate the bolding in this email for me. I hate going back and bolding things, so I let the robots handle that.)

ChatGPT can absolutely expedite some tasks for you (spoiler, it won’t cut your entire workload down to 3 minutes despite what any influencers may tell you), but to me, getting the most out of this technology means leveraging it so that we can be MOAR human, not less.

I truly believe that you can run a business that puts humans firsts and leverages AI (again, please check out episode 2 of ChatGPT Curious if you have environmental concerns) and the initial checks and balances (remember when we had those?!) might be as simple as asking, “Would you want that?”

Happy Tuesday, Reader.
