I still hear people saying things like, “AI can never write as well as a human copywriter.” Or, “I asked ChatGPT to write an article, and it was terrible.” Respectfully, these people are missing the point. Just because AI can’t entirely replace the full set of skills of a human writer doesn’t mean it can’t be valuable. Look at this through a different lens… Look at AI as an assistant who can help you with very specific tasks along your existing workflow as a writer.

This was a slightly frustrating process as a) not many London ad agencies run them these days and b) there’s no one place to find a handy list – until now, that is.
