AI
pithy titles for your upcoming workshop may help you fine-tune one that increases attendance. Research with AI can lead to new angles to explore in your area of expertise. Any use of the tool to spur your own thought processes can swiftly multiply your influential reach. Conversely, misuse of the tool can strip all your credibility like a tsunami. Claiming AI-generated content as your own, for example. You did not write it, so the message is devoid of all that makes you . . . well, you. You are not protected by copyright, so others may freely use it.

a fit of violent wrath – both Merriam-Webster meanings, which one depends upon your view, usage and ethics). AI, of course, is short for artificial intelligence. Ultimately, the key lies in an alternate definition of the latter word. More about that later. Fans of AI tout benefits such as faster, less taxing ideation, prolific content generation, reduction of bias-based writing, and so on. Naysayers point to plagiarism, copyright infringement, and inauthenticity. It seems to me both sides are right and both sides are wrong, depending upon the instance of the technology’s deployment, as well as one’s motive and intent. As a brainstorming tool, AI is a tremendous resource. A query as to the top 25 facts entrepreneurs most want to know about a certain topic can help you prioritize your blog writing.
