Emotions don’t happen just in our minds. Emotions stimulate physiological responses… like changes in heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, facial expressions, and muscle tension. These physical responses are mediated by the autonomic nervous system, and the release of hormones. Long story short… any emotion you feel is accompanied by a physical response.

The question in the headline was asked by a good friend, and highly-regarded copywriter. It’s a totally legitimate question. As professional copywriters we can write better than any AI, and we naturally infuse our work with emotion… because we know it works. So… if we can do all that on our own, why do I recommend that people dive into AI, use tools like ChatGPT, and then infuse the AI output with Emotional Intelligence?

I just finished a complete series re-watch of the TV show Mad Men , and the thing I was struck by most in this viewing was that Don Draper’s character was a masterful storyteller. Yes, he works in advertising, and it is *his job* to know how to tap into those human emotions, motivations, and aspirations. But he does it with such… finesse. The thing is: Lots of people tell stories.

The punctuation mark is used by many writers as a soft pause to separate words, items, or clauses and can change a sentence’s meaning or tone , depending on how it’s used. Learning the comma rules for business emails ensures you’re setting the right tone when you’re writing to your boss or an investor—or to anyone else who has an impact on your business—and can eliminate miscommunication.
