You have a lot of choices when using AI to write content. First, you can choose between the major Large Language Models, like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude3 and others. Then you have dozens, if not hundreds of new AI-writing platforms, most of which are using these models as the engines that drives them. It’s little wonder the web is being flooded with new AI content, most of it sounding like it was written by a well-meaning robot.

Have you been on LinkedIn lately? I’ve been hearing a lot of stories about ultra-long job interview process steps, multiple people involved, and at the end of all the hoops candidates go through, they are told they didn’t get the job. Wh-what? I find this crazy. I mean, I haven’t had a traditional job for about eleven years, but still, I don’t recall a job interview going like that.
Freelance Writing Jobs
APRIL 7, 2024
I’m probably preaching to the choir, but landing a gig these days is no walk in the park. And the reason is quite simple. Over 1.57 billion of the total 3.38 billion global workforce are freelancers. Even worse is that this figure keeps increasing every minute and adds to the already saturated freelance market. That means you have to put in more effort to compete with dozens or even hundreds of other freelancers for a spot.

“We’re taking content in-house”. It’s a perfectly plausible thing for a brand to do, but it was a kick in the teeth for me. I’d kept my diary light for the next month to accommodate a huge new contract I’d picked up, but the client decided not to renew and to take their content in-house instead. It happens, but it still sucks, however many times it’s happened.

How good are you at explaining your ideas? Do readers jump up to implement your advice? Let’s be honest, writing a good explanation is tougher than it seems. Explanations often turn out to be a tad dry and uninspiring—and when we fail to captivate our readers, we fail to communicate our ideas, too. So, what can you do to explain with clarity and zing?

Much of the time, we use tools like ChatGPT to answer questions. Search engines like Google have trained us for decades to interact with the internet in this question-and-answer format. “Where can I find the best price for an all-inclusive vacation in Cancun?” “How do I make coffee with a percolator?” We bring those same habits to models like ChatGPT, or hybrid tools like Perplexity.ca.

Henrietta reads her blog post once more. She changes a word here and there. Corrects a typo. And then strengthens her final two sentences. It’s done. And it feels good. Oh, she thinks, if only writing could always be this way. The feeling of being fully present and at ease in her skin. The quietness. The focus. The flow. How come her inner critic falls asleep when she’s so focused?

Early released, desperate to be forgiven, my friend then created a whole new identity and began to live a new life.
