AI is a great tool to help you generate ideas when you hit a roadblock. It’s never going to (or shouldn’t be allowed to) be a replacement for true creativity and human expression.

ChatGPT isn’t going to eliminate your job — but it will eliminate the tedium

The introduction of ChatGPT into the workplace has been met with an array of reactions. On the one hand, there are those who view it as a threat to their livelihood and job security; on the other hand, however, many have embraced its potential to free them from mundane tasks while still allowing them to contribute in meaningful ways.

Prompts to help ChatGPT help itself

Perhaps the most important aspect of working with ChatGPT is understanding how to communicate with it. Ask it for clarification. Ask it if it understands your questions and direction. Ask it to ask you questions so it can come up with information that’s actually useful.

ChatGPT is a language model, but it’s an incredibly intuitive language model. It knows what it needs to do virtually any task successfully. Ask how to implement its ideas. Ask where to implement its ideas.

Data analysis of Google Ads can be a daunting task, but prompts can help in this area of digital marketing as well. 

Sometimes we know why an ad isn’t performing.

But sometimes we could use a little help to get the thought process flowing, especially if the answers aren’t revealed in our usual checklist. Google Ads troubleshooting is something that ChatGPT is surprisingly astute at.
