As a teacher I can scream from the rooftops about how writing is about human connection and about how AI is killing that sacrosanct relationship between the writer and a reader. But as a trend spotter I know that AI is a part of our lives, whether we like it or not. Therefore, I would like to talk about how to make the best use of a generative AI like ChatGPT in your jewellery blogging endeavours.
Using ChatGPT for jewellery blogging
- Idea generation: If you’re struggling to come up with new ideas for blog posts or topics to cover, you can brainstorm ideas. Describe your target audience, the type of jewellery you want to feature such as Zodiac jewellery or Lapis lazuli jewellery. ChatGPT can generate a list of topics or offer creative suggestions.
- Product descriptions: ChatGPT can assist you in writing compelling product descriptions. Provide details about a specific piece of jewelry, such as its design, materials used, gemstones, and any unique features. You can ask ChatGPT to help you refine and polish the description, making it more engaging and persuasive.
- Content expansion: When you have a blog post draft but need to expand on certain sections or add more depth, you can consult ChatGPT for ideas. It can provide you with new perspectives and help make your content more comprehensive.
- Answering FAQs: ChatGPT can help you address frequently asked questions (FAQs) from your audience. Compile a list of common inquiries related to jewellery, such as care instructions, materials, sizing, or customizations.
Downsides of using ChatGPT as a blogger
While ChatGPT is a powerful language model with numerous strengths, it also has some limitations and weaknesses.
- Lack of real-world understanding: ChatGPT doesn’t have real-world experiences or a comprehensive understanding of the world. It relies solely on patterns it has learned from the data it was trained on. This can lead to responses that may not always reflect practical or common sense knowledge.
- Plagiarism: Remember that the content produced by ChatGPT is based on pre-existing data and should not be presented as your original work. Therefore, Avoid copying and pasting responses generated by ChatGPT directly onto your blog without proper attribution or modification.
- Sensitivity to input phrasing: ChatGPT can be sensitive to the phrasing or wording of the input it receives. Small changes in the way a question or prompt is framed can sometimes yield different or inconsistent responses. If you struggle with Input phrasing then this post of 30 ChatGPT prompts is for you.
- Overconfidence and verbosity: ChatGPT can sometimes provide answers that sound authoritative but may not be entirely accurate or factual. It may generate verbose responses that sound plausible but lack precision or may include unnecessary or irrelevant information.
- Lack of context retention: While ChatGPT can maintain a limited context of the conversation history, it has a tendency to forget information mentioned earlier in the dialogue. This can result in inconsistent or repetitive responses when discussing complex topics or engaging in longer conversations.
- Biased or offensive outputs: ChatGPT can inadvertently generate biased or offensive content. It may reflect biases present in the training data it was exposed to, potentially perpetuating stereotypes or controversial views.
- Inability to verify or fact-check information: ChatGPT does not fact-check or verify information. While it can provide general knowledge based on pre-existing data (till 2021), it’s important to independently verify the accuracy of any information.
- Outdated: ChatGPT does not provide up to date information. Therefore, using it to write articles about latest jewellery trends, fashion forecast or evolving technology is a waste of your time.
Parting thoughts
While ChatGPT can assist with idea generation, content expansion, and answering FAQs, it’s important to maintain your own voice and style. Your FAQ must reflect your expertise and the ethos of your jewellery brand/blog. Additionally, always fact-check any information provided by ChatGPT to ensure accuracy before publishing it on your blog. Every single example that it generated for my article on the “Use of Pearls in Performance art” was incorrect and I abandoned all of the content. However, I found so many interesting details during the verification process that I decided to compile them instead, into the article that was eventually published on this blog.
Finally, if you choose to incorporate ChatGPT into your content, it’s important to be transparent about it. Clearly indicate when the content has been generated with the help of an AI language model. This helps maintain trust and authenticity with your readers. Understanding these limitations can help you approach ChatGPT with a critical mindset. You must exercise discretion, and take responsibility for fact-checking and editing the generated content to ensure accuracy, reliability, and alignment with their own values and standards. Use it as a tool to enhance and complement your own expertise, insights, and unique voice.
