Hi! I’m Jen, and welcome to this week’s Tech Talk. With AI-generated content on the rise, how do you reach your audience authentically? The key is to create content based on your expertise and real emotions, while using AI to enhance efficiency.
Why Authenticity Matters
People crave genuine content. A recent article by Getty Images claimed that 98% of consumers value authentic visuals—content that is sincere and original. The same applies to readers of articles and blogs.
As a small business owner, establishing your expertise and brand is crucial, and authenticity plays a key role. Luckily, there are simple ways to ensure your content remains genuine while leveraging AI’s efficiency.
Avoid AI Red Flags
AI-generated content can raise red flags, which may disrupt your message:
- Wordiness: AI can often use unnecessary words, leading to bloated content.
- Lack of Personality: AI content can feel neutral or predictable.
- Overly Correct Grammar: Content can sometimes feel “too perfect,” especially when a casual tone is expected
- Incorrect Facts: AI models may generate inaccurate statements, so always fact-check.
How to Create Authentic Content Using AI
A hybrid approach works best, in which you use AI as a tool to improve your ideas and writing:
- Research: Use trusted sources. AI can help find data, but verify it for accuracy.
- Content Creation: Write your own content but use AI if you hit writer’s block. Give clear, specific prompts and review AI outputs carefully.
- Editing: Use AI to refine your writing. With prompts like “make this more engaging,” you can adjust and polish your text to your needs.
- Personalization: Read the AI-generated text and adjust the words and phrases to reflect your unique voice. As Dan Pink suggests in Stanford GSB’s Podcast, “Think Fast, Talk Smart,” aim to sound like a better version of yourself.
By following these steps, you can maintain authenticity while still benefiting from the speed and efficiency of AI.
