Ego relationships vs. Love relationships
Botpress AI is a liar

Using AI on a blog or website

If you're like me, you're cautious when it comes to using AI out of concern that it will replace the human element of what you're good at.

I'm a writer. If I were to believe that AI is capable of performing better than me, then are my skills useful? I've tested a few AI tools over the past few days and will share my experiences. 

I came across this free AI agent tool called Botpress and wanted to try it on this blog. I configured it to look at the thousands of posts on this site as well as the content of my two eBooks. Now Abscondo.com site visitors can use the tool to essentially ask me a question and receive an AI response based solely on my content. Intriguing right?

I tested it out with a few meaningful questions and the responses were pretty accurate and insightful. I needed to provide extra instructions about how to answer, but this was easy and the changes were instant. For example, I instructed the agent, instead of replying with "we here at Abscondo.com believe...", say "I believe. The change was easy.

Botpress is a bit tech-heavy but a lot of fun. I think this chat agent provides my audience with a way to target a response based on what they are going through or what they are curious about. It feels like my human, personal, spiritual content is brought to life!

My only challenge, funny enough, was to configure the floating chat icon in the bottom right corner of this page. I spent way too much time on this and just couldn't crack it. I added a link on in the navigation, but you can also access to the tool using that strange circular icon on this page. 

Another recent AI use-case: I'm also working on launching a lingerie brand with my wife called Honest Underneath. Could I use something like ChatGPT to improve the copy on the website? Humbled as a writer, I found that the platform took our content to the next level. I really like the way the copy reads. My role, as a marketing and writer, was to structure it and select the parts that make sense and reject the rest. There is still a lot to do as a creative professional, but the result is way beyond what I could have done alone.

Maybe I will create some music videos using AI tools. It could go a long way to brining my music catalog to life.

I will almost certainly be using ChatGPT more in my sales email writing. This will allow me to A/B test my copy vs. the AI copy created with my guidance. Let's see which version generates a higher open and response rate.

I'm a latecomer to this technology, but so far it feels as though AI enhances real-life creativity without replacing it. I feel in control, but willing to trust the tools a lot more than I thought I would. As with any technology, perhaps the question is how it should be used vs. whether it should be used.

I believe that AI can be amazing if real-life humans guide it with our conscious perspective.
