In this podcast, we are going to be exploring ways that you too can feel more fulfilled by your work. So strap yourself in, get ready for the ride. The tips around here are fast and in abundance.

[00:00:33] Hello. Hello. It's Bec McFarland here helping you do better and be better in your career. And unless you've been living under a rock, you have probably seen all of the excitement about artificial intelligence, and in particular, a tool called ChatGPT.

[00:00:52] Now, a couple of weeks ago I shared an Instagram reel with some tips about how you could get AI, or more specifically [00:01:00] the ChatGPT tool to help you to improve your resume. And one of my kind followers came along with a third tip. I'd love to share them all with you here today to help you use the robots, right?

[00:01:14] I am always an advocate for saving time, saving energy, getting better results, and of course, embracing your creativity. Now before I dive in, I would just like to tell you a little bit about ChatGPT, just so that you understand exactly what we are talking about. So there are lots of AI tools available on the internet, and I've used quite a few of them.

[00:01:35] Basically, usually you would go in and you would provide a little bit of a description, and then the AI would go ahead and create whatever type of content it was that you've asked it to do. It could be a social media caption or a blog post or an advertising text, so you can see how it would be super useful for a business owner.

But I think things started to get really real late last year when ChatGPT was released.

[00:02:21] Now, this is another AI tool, but unlike the others, you are actually chatting directly with the AI. So it's kind of like having your own little assistant. You would talk to them as though you were talking to a friend. So you might reach out to the robot and say, you know, Hey, I was creating a blog post about X, Y, and Z, and about my opinion on this topic.

[00:02:45] I was wondering if you could please write me a blog post outline, or could you please write me an introductory paragraph or you know, go, go the whole hog, ask it to write the whole blog post, right? So it's quite exceptional. It also means that you can give [00:03:00] it feedback and you could say to it, Hey, you know, what you wrote was good, but it wasn't quite in my voice.
