Is ChatGPT going to take our jobs?

If you're not effectively using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and programs like ChatGPT or Gemini, you will be less effective and efficient than people who use that technology well. This is true for many jobs, including mine!  


One clear positive use of AI is to help shorten and clarify written communication in 5 seconds or less.  


I use AI a lot to simplify text that is intended to inform people as quickly as possible, in a friendly tone. Sometimes AI does great. 

However, I've noticed consistent weaknesses with AI, like:

- Removing important details or context.

- Failing to balance the tone.

- Using words that are difficult for people from different language backgrounds. 

- Inappropriately using bullet points. 

- Not identifying potentially exclusive language. 


I'm soon launching my own custom AI website that addresses those weaknesses and many others. It gets you closer to the simplified version you need while spending less time entering prompts.

You'll copy and paste your text and instantly receive a simplified version that is informed by guidelines I developed from hundreds of live trainings. 

 

You will still need to know the simplifying skills and add your human touch!


In my full training, we do simplifying practice with and without AI. I show participants an original version of their writing and a version simplified by AI. Then they blend those to create a new version that meets their goals.

 

Learning and combining your human simplifying skills with AI is the best, fastest way to simplify writing. 

 

Nothing replaces a human simplification, but AI can help. 

And, AI can’t help you speak clearer and more concisely.  


I can simplify most websites in a few hours, combining AI with human skills.

Contact me if:

1. You want an assessment of your website or other written materials. 

2. You want to test my new AI website.

3. You're interested in discussing a live custom training.
