Oh no! I took handwritten notes and now I gotta write them up!
-----------------

Of course you did. That’s fine. It’s proven to be a more effective way of processing and recording information than typing notes.

But then you have to write up those notes so some other people can understand them. No longer – try this instead!

AI Recipe: Writing up notes FAST

Takes:

About ten minutes for a short set of notes with practice. Don’t skimp on the proving – I mean proofing – before serving.

You’ll need:

ChatGPT (free version or an alternative chat AI is fine).

A smartphone or other device that can take dictation. (Search “Voice Typing” in Google for instance).

Your notes.

Your voice.

Your eye for detail at the end.

Steps:

Get your rough notes. Switch on the dictation.

Start talking as if you were explaining the notes to a friend or colleague.

Include anything that comes to mind – connections. If there are actions or deadlines say “action” and “deadline for action” to give it structure.

Stop dictation. Paste the notes into the chat interface.

Enter a prompt. If you want meeting actions and notes, say so. Easiest will be “summarise this meeting in bullet points. You could also ask it to use the notes to write an account of the meeting in the style of a business newspaper – this works surprisingly well.

Copy and paste the notes into a writing app and edit. Check for any “hallucinations” (made-up stuff).

Send the notes or post the blog and dazzle your colleagues with your speed of thought and action (until they work out how to do this too). Microsoft and Google are integrating AI into their Office365 and Google apps “soon”. No harm in getting your AI skillz developed ahead of time, though.

Pichai said governments would need to figure out global frameworks for regulating AI as it developed. Last month thousands of artificial intelligence experts, researchers and backers – including the Twitter owner Elon Musk – signed a letter calling for a pause in the creation of “giant” AIs for at least six months, amid concerns that development of the technology could get out of control.

This particular example illustrates that poorly produced AI-generated content can still easily game Google’s algorithm – even when the article itself blatantly tells Google exactly what it is doing.

The authoritative tech publication used ChatGPT to produce the majority of a satirical review, pointing out that it shouldn't rank. Yet it does.

The APIs give developers “access to cutting-edge language (not just chat!) and speech-to-text capabilities.” In addition, thanks to “system-wide optimizations,” OpenAI said it achieved a 90% cost reduction for ChatGPT since December and is now passing through those savings to API users.

Just three months after ChatGPT's launch, and only a few days after releasing 'plans' for AGI, OpenAI released the ChatGPT API yesterday.

Interesting how the big agencies are using AI>

Recent applications include creating an ad campaign for Nike’s 50th anniversary, called Never Stop Evolving, featuring Venus Williams facing off against versions of herself throughout her career.

In India, machine-learning was used to create a campaign for the Mondelēz-owned Cadbury featuring Shah Rukh Khan, which enabled the development of “millions” of personalised ads using the Bollywood star’s voice to help promote local businesses that struggled during the Covid pandemic.

There are a few different AI tools aimed at writers out there, but one of the most interesting right now is ChatGPT, OpenAI's chatbot. It isn't actually designed as a marketing tool, but its flexibility allows you to do quite a lot with it. Plus, it's a free way to check out what AIs are capable of right now. You might be surprised at just how useful it can be—and how unlikely it is to steal my job.

Learn how you can (and when you shouldn't) use ChatGPT to write marketing copy.
