Welp, besides carving out a few ways to use ChatGPT to help me run my business (most of which is rudimentary busy work type stuff), I haven’t really figured out how to use it to make my business run smoother.
But a few weeks back, I got an idea…
I have a lead magnet “in the can” ready for deployment at a moment’s notice. But I wanted to enlist ChatGPT’s help to tweak said lead magnet to specific niches.
The job was easy—or so I thought. I had a 99% done lead magnet that included a few [brackets] for where I wanted ChatGPT to insert a different niche or try to create a more relevant example.
And so, about a month ago, I sent over my lead magnet to ChatGPT with the prompt to tweak them so they’re more relevant to different niches.
ChatGPT seemed up for the task: “Absolutely! Just provide the outline, and I can customize it for different subniches, so you’ll have multiple lead magnets ready to go,” it said.
(Well, I have more than an outline and told ChatGPT as much, and it said it understood the assignment.)
Then the waiting game began.
ChatGPT said it’d need some time to work through the project. And I expected as much - I gave it a lengthy set of niches to create a separate copy for.
A week passed. Then another.
Still, I received nothing from the AI. And so, I asked it in the same prompt I started this project in, how the progress was going.
ChatGPT response? It’s working through it and will let me know when something’s ready for my review.
Another week passed. Nothing.
After asking for any bit of my project to be delivered, ChatGPT gave the same lame response a freelancer who plans on ghosting you without delivering the goods would make: “I’ll send them over soon. Thanks for your patience.”
More time passed and ChatGPT did not send over anything.
At one point, ChatGPT even said it’d have something for me in 30 minutes. Then 30 minutes passed. Then a couple of hours passed (because I was busy actually doing the work I said I’d do for my clients).
When I finally realized ChatGPT lied to me, I questioned it…
…and, for the first time in three and a half weeks, I received something back other than a “I’m working on it” response.
And do you know what ChatGPT submitted as the “final version?”
It was something I could’ve written in two minutes. It completely ignored my request to contextualize different versions to different niches, and instead sent me an outline of three niches with ideas of examples I could use for each niche.
It literally said, for the ecom niche, “Examples highlighting product promotions, abandoned cart emails, and loyalty programs.”
That’s what I wanted YOU to do, you braindead robot!
Short story long:
ChatGPT did not understand the assignment. Nor did it accomplish its version of the assignment (which would take a human a solid two minutes of work) in a swift manner.
This leaves me to believe that the secks robots will replace your job sooner than ChatGPT will.
No, I don’t think these monstrosities will deliver a better service, just that many incels around the world would soon simp over robots than finding the courage to talk to a real girl.
And that, my friend, is where we are currently with the Rise of ChatGPT.
It can barely even do busy work. Once you ask it for a lick of creativity (or even following directions, which ain’t a good sign) it craps the bed.
Maybe you know a similar experience when you think you can safely outsource your email copy to a soulless AI machine?
If so - I’m willing to bet no matter how good (or bad) you thought the copy was, it still sounded like a soulless AI robot.
Well, there’s an easy solution to this:
Hit reply, and let’s set up time to discuss your goals and strategy with email.
No, I won’t be as “cheap” as ChatGPT. But my services are an investment that generates a positive ROI. Which means, it will be more cost-effective and unlock more growth (even if you scoff at my outlandish fees).
Only one way to find out:
Hit reply, and let’s chat.
