Hi!
As we get ready for our roundtable on the copyright laws surrounding AI and IP, I thought it would be a great time to discuss how we can blend the best of our creativity with the incredible power of AI without losing our authenticity.
Over the last year, I have found AI to be a great partner in my creative process if used correctly. By that, I mean effectively integrating AI with your original ideas and turning AI into a creative ally rather than a competitor.
AI: The New Creative Partner
Like it or not, AI is here to stay, and its potential is vast. But here's something to always remember when using AI: it is a tool, not a magic wand. It's like having a really smart assistant who can help you brainstorm and create drafts. While AI can certainly make you more efficient and productive, it can never replace your vision and creativity.
Where AI Fits into Your Creative Process
Brainstorming Ideas
Have you ever found yourself staring at a blank page, trying to figure out how to create a title or an opening line? Ask AI for suggestions. It will give you the inspiration you need to get going.
But remember: it's your spark that matters. Let AI give you a jumpstart, and then take over with your unique insights. AI can suggest unlimited Ideas, but it's your instinct that will tell you which one is the right one to choose.
Draft Development
How many times have you had a fantastic idea but struggled to put it into words? AI can help here, too. You can just start writing your ideas in a rough draft as a conversation. Once you have your thoughts down, ask your creative partner to come up with a better-formatted draft.
Please remember, it's your creativity. So, keep AI from taking over too much. It can get you 80% there, but that last 20%? THAT NEEDS TO BE YOU! That's where your creativity shines. That's where your voice comes in—where you shape and mold the ideas into something that's genuinely you.
Personalizing Your Content
Here's where the magic happens, and few people use it to their advantage. AI can analyze what readers are currently interested in. It can explore what they respond to, what they skip over, and what they love. Imagine being able to tailor your next project based on real insights into what people want to read or see. What an advantage this gives you.
How to Keep Your Authenticity
With all this AI integration, the big question is: how do you stay authentic? The answer is simple—don't let AI have the final say. Always revisit, rewrite, and make the output your own. AI can write sentences, but it's you who turns those sentences into something meaningful. Whether you're an author, a coach, or any content creator, your audience wants your story, your voice, and your experience.
Remember, you're the artist who chooses what works and what doesn't. You decide how to craft it, rearrange it, and make it resonate with your community.
And as a side note, don't shy away from letting everyone know you used AI—transparency builds trust. Your audience will appreciate knowing how you use all the tools at your disposal to create something valuable for them.
What not to do!
Don't get overdependence on AI. It can be so helpful that it can tempt you to let it do all the work. But that will mean you will just become "noise" rather than an authority.
Take some time to learn the dos and don'ts of your chosen tool. There is a learning curve with any new technology. Experiment and learn what each tool can and can't do for you. Start with small projects to get comfortable.
Your Turn to Experiment
If you haven't tried using AI to create something yet, give it a shot. I think it will be a game-changer for your work. You can start small—maybe use an AI tool to brainstorm topics or edit a piece you've already written. It's not about perfection; it's about experimenting. The possibilities are vast, and the best part is that you're in control of how you use it.
AI is here to make your life easier, but it's your creativity, your ideas, and your unique vision that will always be the heart of what you do.
Please let me know how it works out for you. As always, we'd like to invite any comments or questions. Let me know what you would like to learn more about.
