You have a solid approach to using AI. Lately, I have been using it to do the following:

- I give Chat GPT my topic and specifics of what type of content I want to write, like word count, and ask it to create an outline for me.

- Then I write the article. If I need further help on any of the outline sections, I'll ask it to elaborate.

- For grammar and spelling help I use either Grammarly or ProWritingAid.

- Then I ask for 5 to 10 headline ideas and use a headline analyzer to score the ones I like. Most usually require editing by me to find the best combination.

That's pretty close to approach number one for me. But I continue to lean in to Chat for grammar and spelling. I should try something else, something that doesn't love em dashes so much. LOL

Headline analyzer? Tell me more! It sounds like I'm missing an opportunity.

There are several different ones. But I use this one primarily:

Thanks! I'll check it out and see how Coach compares. I'll trust the website more.

I just wrote a post and accidentally deleted it! 😳 Anyway, I’m fascinated about your comment that you spend as long writing the prompt as the piece. Some of my client work takes hours to write and I can’t imaging taking that long to write a prompt!

It's more the back and forth feels like it takes as long as writing from scratch. But its all in the name of getting it right, so it represents my authentic voice - just a little cleaner.

That makes sense. There’s a lot of fun in the back and forth.
