Hi there,

One of the things that I frequently get asked about is ‘how is artificial intelligence (AI) going to be impacting the way that I work?’. To be honest, I can’t answer this because AI is having a massive impact in so many areas of our lives. From assisted medical intervention, through copywriting assistance (note I say assistance), to summarising complex documents. Tools such as ChatGPT (for text generation, coding and interactions with plugins), through to Midjourney (for your graphic and picture generation) are making AI more acceptable.

On CoachReflect.com, we have built the capability to consider adjacent ideas that are generated from your input.

If you haven’t had a ‘go’ yet, then I would.

How do you get started?

Signing up for ChatGPT is a start. Follow these simple instructions and you will be up and running quickly for free. However, to get real benefits, open the wallet or purse and subscribe to some of the more advanced capabilities offered in GPT4.0 – more intense and lengthy generations.

The key for any of these AIs is in what you type as a prompt. Think – quality input gets quality output. The more detailed input, the more precise – the better the output. Also consider, that this is not going to be the finished piece – it does ‘currently’ need human input to bring it to life.

Enjoy your play and now to this week’s reads.

All my best
