From Arlan Hamilton's Skool group ChatGPT’s “Image 2” model has a boring name but incredibly exciting results. Does it beat my favorite thumbnail generator, Pikzels, IMO? I made a video to put it the test: https://youtu.be/U5i9AwymCTQ?si=exlB86GCrN-tBWPC

Great advice from Nick Laight: soon, lazy AI slop will be glaringly obvious to anyone who comes across it…. And it will be scorned and rejected by most savvy internet users. After all, people are busy and there are a lot of calls for their attention on the internet, sometimes with multiple messages assailing them all at once. So what’s the point in reading something that’s not helpful, unique or interesting to them? This is why putting out slop will probably do you more harm than good. You will lose credibility and damage the bond of trust. However, if you use AI with some care and consideration for your reader, the opposite will happen… You’ll stand out from the crowd with something that grabs attention, draws people in, and delivers something that makes them want more from you. The secret is to follow the R.I.C.H formula. R - RELEVANT If a reader doesn’t feel like a piece of content addresses their interests, they’ll ignore it or click away from it. But if they feel like “this is for me,” they’ll stay engaged and continue reading. So if you want to draw them into your business, you need to need to align your AI content with your target reader’s desires, problems and goals. For example, if your audience is made up of seniors and retirees, a headline like, “How to go viral on TikTok using AI voice filters” is unlikely to be relevant. However, “3 simple ways to earn £500 per month without learning new tech skills” would grab their attention. Or, if you’re trying to reach stay-at-home mums, “The 30-minute side project I launched during nap time” is more relevant than “My digital detox retreat in Bali”. So whenever you product a piece of AI-powered content, ask yourself: - “Would my reader recognise themselves in this article?” - “Does this piece of advice relate to a situation, hope, fear, or habit they already have?” If not, feed a profile of your reader into the AI, including their demographic, goals, fears and aspirations. Then ask AI to “Write this again in a way that directly addresses the reader’s situation and interests. Speak to them in the sort of language they’d use.”
