Recently, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) has progressed in leaps and bounds, fueled by tech corporations in the US. Their apps, like ChatGPT, are currently able to generate detailed (though still imperfect) texts that look quite decent at first glance. Is this the end of the human copywriter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

5 advantages of a copywriter<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Although ChatGPT is an advanced language model capable of producing text at request, it still has its limitations. Here are some of the advantages of a human copywriter, compared to an AI:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Creativity and originality: A human copywriter is able to be creative and original. ChatGPT, on the other hand, is a language model trained with existing texts, which limits its ability to generate new ideas and original phrasing.<\/li>\n
  2. Tone of voice: A good copywriter is able to adjust the tone of a text to the target audience. ChatGPT doesn\u2019t have that ability, because it only works on the basis of the input it receives.<\/li>\n
  3. Context and understanding: A human copywriter is able to understand the context of any given text and adjust accordingly, while ChatGPT doesn\u2019t always understand what it is writing, possibly even generating incorrect information.<\/li>\n
  4. Personal contact: A client is able to have personal contact with a copywriter to discuss specific wishes and demands for their text. ChatGPT works fully automated.<\/li>\n
  5. Editing and revisions: A human copywriter can redact and revise their own work, and judge and edit the work of others. ChatGPT doesn\u2019t have this capacity to critique others and can\u2019t edit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The computer speaks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Don\u2019t take this from us, however, take from the AI itself! The above answers were generated by ChatGPT. Now, it is possible, of course, that the program is telling us what we want to hear instead of the truth\u2014it is raised on human ideas and culture, after all. It is equally possible that future versions of these apps will resolve their current flaws. Especially when we remember that the outspoken goal of the companies pushing this technology is to create a \u201cgeneral artificial intelligence\u201d, able to think and reason like a human.<\/p>\n

    We are not there yet. What is currently more interesting to consider for us is how we might be able to use the AI\u2019s (imperfect) results to improve our own work as professional copywriters.<\/p>\n

    Let ChatGPT do the research<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Part of a copywriter\u2019s work is doing research. In order to do this, we use many sources: from Wikipedia to interviewing specialists. Google is an oft-used gateway to this knowledge\u2014and this is where an app like ChatGPT actually makes things easier. The program is able to gather information from online sources and put it together coherently. It \u201ccites\u201d this knowledge, as it were; preselects it. That makes things much easier for our research (although we should check that the information is correct, as there are many examples of the app providing dodgy information).<\/p>\n

    Easier writing and redacting<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Writing a text is much easier when there is already a \u201cfirst draft\u201d committed to paper. That creates a sense of overview which makes it simpler to see what works and what needs adjustment. ChatGPT is able to generate basic texts like these, which we can then edit and refine using our own insight and craft. This combines the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n

    Let AI give you a creative boost<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    And sometimes it simply inspires new ideas. Creativity can be a mysterious process, requiring lots of input. By letting ChatGPT write a text, something might suddenly click into place. By the way, this works even better with AI that generates images: Midjourney and DALL-E for instance. Visual input stimulates the senses even better than words.<\/p>\n

    We think AI<\/a><\/strong> will eventually replace part of human copywriting\u2014at least when it comes to simple, non-literary texts. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, by embracing this technology, we\u2019re able to provide better service to our clients!
    \nHere at Vuurwerk we see it therefore as a useful addition to the copywriter\u2019s work and a new tool in our toolbox.<\/p>\n
