This is an as-told-to essay based on an interview with Morgan Young, a 20-year-old content creator. She says artificial intelligence tools help her brainstorm ideas and pitch herself to brands. I'm a student, an intern at an entertainment company, and a content creator. I use generative AI for all of these roles, and I find ChatGPT and chatbots to be the most helpful.
I learned about ChatGPT from Reddit, TikTok, and AI creators on LinkedIn. Then, as it became more popular, I started reading articles and experimenting with it myself to better understand how to use the technology in my own work. By experimenting with it, I'm using the suggestions AI provides to learn from. Learning through experimentation has helped me become a better businessperson and improve the professionalism of my brand. Because LinkedIn content is mostly written, everyone always asks me,"Do you use gen AI to write your content?" The answer is"no."
I once conducted an experiment to see whether the hook that I came up with or the hook that generative AI came up with for the same post would perform better, and the one that generative AI wrote did better.
