With ChatGPT, It’s a Cinch

AI enthusiast Lori Ballen offers an excellent, in-depth, step-by-step guide to putting together a YouTube video with ChatGPT in this piece.

The rundown on those steps:

~Ideation

~Crafting Titles

~Writing YouTube Descriptions

~Scripting the Video

~Thumbnail Creation

~Creating Calls-to-Action

~Developing Your Bio

Bottom line: I’ve personally auto-generated scripts for YouTube based on content created for other purposes and have been amazed at how quickly and expertly the tool can put together an excellent video script — including suggestions for video footage and still shots.

Often, the script is created in a matter of seconds.

Essentially: If you’re not at least giving ChatGPT — or a similar AI writer — a whirl when brainstorming your next YouTube script, you’re putting yourself at a distinct disadvantage.

*In-Depth Review: Shoot-Out – ChatGPT Versus Google Bard: TechRepublic offers a handy comparison of two top AI writers in this piece — ChatGPT and Google Bard.

The take-away: TechRepublic gives Bard a slight advantage, given that you can get ‘draft’ versions of a response from Bard.

Plus, Bard offers up-to-the-minute access to the Web.

To be fair, plugins for ChatGPT enable the tool to access all of the Web’s info in real-time.

But if you’re only looking for instant access to Web info out-of-the-box, Bard may be for you.

Obseres Nathan Miller, president, Rentec Direct: “Crafting enticing property descriptions can be time-consuming for property managers and landlords.

“By using ChatGPT’s technology to automate this process, our clients can create creative rental listings in a fraction-of-the-time, allowing them to focus on other critical aspects of their business.”

Adds Harrison: “The email detailed that those who will be replaced by AI include editors, print production staff, subeditors, proofreaders and photo editors — and that these time-honored human careers will no longer exist as they do today.”

*AI Big Picture: Another Gulp Moment for Workers: A new McKinsey study finds ChatGPT and similar AI may ultimately automate most of the work many employees do every day.

The researchers observe: “This research is the latest in our efforts to assess the impact of this new era of AI.

“In the process, it could unlock trillions of dollars in value across sectors from banking to life sciences.”
