(All the chapters are linked at the bottom.)
This book contains everything you need to know to use artificial intelligence for writing blog posts, articles, guides, ebooks, and any other form of text.
The first chapter walks you through the workflow where we start from content ideation and end at publication. AI is used at each stage. My choice was GPT-4o from OpenAI but you can also use any other large language model (LLM) for this. You will also find all the prompts here.
The rest of the book dives into the nuances of content writing with AI that allows you to make this workflow personalized to your specific use case to get the best results. Topics include the strengths and weaknesses of generative AI (GenAI), performance analysis of AI-generated content, and the art of building a custom GPT for your content needs.
As you can imagine, the first chapter is the longest and the remaining ones require deep reading. I hope you find this book useful in your content-writing endeavors. Please feel free to share it with other fellow writers who are experimenting with AI.
Before we go any further, I have penned my motivations for and expectations from this book in the forward below.
Forward
ChatGPT was the first publicly-available LLM that didn’t suck. Unsurprisingly, it got to 100M users the fastest of any apps so far.
During those times, I was finishing reading Rajiv Malhotra’s “Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Power”. The book covered many topics about how AI can transform society and will play a key role in determining who will hold the mettle in the global geopolitical landscape.
My favorite part of that book was how the AI revolution would be different than any other technological revolution from the past.
Rajiv explained that AI already had the infrastructure that would accelerate its adoption, something we did not see with other technological innovations. When machines were replacing human workers, for instance, the machines still needed to be built and transported.
However, almost every individual across the planet is using digital devices, and getting increasingly dependent on them, AI will move significantly faster.
When ChatGPT dropped, I saw it as a sign and dived deep into it. For the first few weeks, I toyed around with the free version. I upgraded as soon as it was available in India and started experimenting with it for various use cases.
Being a professional content writer, I wanted to know if I could enhance my content writing workflow with this, either to increase speed or quality.
Within a few months, the workflow was ready and I was saving a couple of hours per ~1200 worded article. Over time, the nerds at OpenAI shipped new features such as GPTs. To maintain relevance and performance, I iterated the workflow to capitalize on these new functionalities.
For the last year or so I have been using that workflow and it has saved me countless hours while improving my writing style and content quality.
Also, in the interim, I tried other LLMs as well. Claude 3.5 Sonnet is the best in terms of following your writing instructions. Unfortunately, its limited world knowledge makes it a suboptimal choice for this purpose. This is the same case with other open-source LLMs.
All things considered, if I could have only one tool, I’d still have ChatGPT for reasons you will know in the first chapter itself.
I hope this book increases your output while retaining or enhancing the content quality to make you some money.
