Imagine having a personal assistant who never sleeps, or a guru who transforms any drudgery into an easily manageable task within an instant. Thanks to artificial intelligence advancements, you can now be 10 times more productive and get more done in record time—even the boring stuff—without sacrificing on quality.
Where most people go wrong with AI tools is that they rely on them as a crutch, forgetting that when it comes to work, these tools never should be used in that way. The right way to use AI tools is to use them to help you become better at what you already do, not take it away entirely.
For example, if you’re a freelancer trying to stay engaged with your followers on social media to help you build your personal brand, instead of using ChatGPT to write out entire posts or to respond to comments, you could use it for inspiration and to help you write more coherently, or to give you response suggestions which you can then add your own voice to.
