People are constantly asking me about ChatGPT, and while I think it’s good for some businesses it’s not going to replace all writers.

First, ChatGPT is basically a robot. Do you sell to robots?

ChatGPT just cannot feel the hopes and disappointments of your ideal client. So, how can it address the objections that your ideal client will have during the sales process?

As a test, one of my clients asked me to create summaries of my articles and his video transcripts using ChatGPT.

Neither of us was impressed.

The English is often awkward, which can turn off some audiences, and there were typos and other grammar issues that popped up.

Beside coaching and editing authors, I do a lot of legal, medical, and ad tech writing — and I feel that ChatGPT is particularly inappropriate for these niches. There are too many nuances (and legal compliance issues) for ChatGPT to handle.

So, am I worried that ChatGPT will put me out of work?

Not really.

I mostly cater to highly educated, highly affluent writing and editing clients nowadays. They’ve been burned by so-called writers and believe even less in ChatGPT.

If your “ideal” clients are coaches without clients or startups without capital, then it’s time to find new ideal clients…because I believe these areas have a need for ChatGPT. (Though it’s not going to help them in the long run.)
